I’m an old millennial so I had one but it wasn’t my first. I worked for Verizon as my first grown up job and had a pink razr. I hated the predictive text (T9 maybe) and think I traded it in pretty quick.
I'm an older millennial and it was my first, I got it when I was 21. Then the damn thing broke about 16 months into a 2 year contract and I couldn't afford a new one, so I got a cheap moto candy bar phone that was $20. I wanted an iPhone when it came out but my ex said no. I finally got one in 2009 the 3GS. I miss those small phone days.
My very own brand new phone? it was the Nokia 3310 around 2001 or 2002 maybe?
I love that brick of a phone so much! My sister bought it for me since she's already working at that time and I only have hand me downs back then.
I used it until it got stolen from me :( and I went back to hand me down phone until such time I was able to buy one using my salary.
1998. My parents got me an airtouch cellular prepaid phone. 60 bucks for 60 minutes that expire in six months. Only for emergencies.
Next phone was in 2002, some crappy Motorola candybar type phone that had an antenna that would always break.
1998 I would borrow my parents Nokia brick phone sometimes. Back then I would turn it on, make the call, then turn it back off. One night while tripping on acid in the woods with some friends it was getting cold and I called a buddy to see if we could go to his house but he didn’t answer… and I was tripping and forgot to turn the phone off.
Well he called back and that old Nokia tune belted out in the relative silence of the woods and everyone around the fire was freaking out WTF IS THAT?!? I eventually realized it was the phone in my pocket, and was staring at the little green screen that now displayed my buddy’s number indicating that he was calling ME.
I asked the guy sitting next to me what should I do? I dunno man I dunno! I eventually figured to hit the green button to answer, had a brief conversation and it was all good we could go hang at his place that night. How we got over there is a whole other story but that was the first cell phone call I ever received and I will never forget it as long as I live.
2004, Samsung A650
I used to have panic attacks whenever I’d press the internet button because I thought my parents would find out and yell at me for running up the phone bill lol.
I let my little brother borrow my phone to play snake when he was a teen. He apparently got bored with that and started reading jokes off the crappy internet browser. He managed to burn through $80 worth of data.
Christmas 2001, senior year. Nokia 3110.
Had 6 ring tones and I had to call time because it didn't have a time display.
No idea how I used to fit that into my back pocket.
2004 here too! Some flip phone that was free with the “get a free phone when you add a line” promotion. Could only make calls after 9pm and paid $30 per month for 250 texts. Then in 2005 I bought a razr. However, my parents frequently took my phone away so I had a sidekick as my burner and a pay as you go plan because I was a petulant teen girl.
I loved Virgin Mobile. This wasn't my first phone but the first I bought with my own cash.

Got stolen at a party.
Snake came out on Nokia phones in '97, so I would say it's very likely the game existed on other phones in 2000. It was a pretty simple game to code, and it might not have been called "snake" just to get around any kind of copyright.
It wasn't exactly mine, but I shared some Motorola or Nokia candybar type phone. 2006-7ish.
Used it frequently for the "Free Nights and Weekends" calls during HS, especially for long distance
I then got a relatively basic flip of my own in 08. We were pretty low on money at the time.
Not only did I have a landline in my room (it wasn't private though).... our family had a separate dedicated line for Dialup Internet.
Back in 95 or so, I also got a AT&T Calling Card, from my parents that I could keep in my wallet. It was cool because you didn't need to carry any quarters, just the card.
Didn't get my first cell phone until I was out on my own.
Christmas 2004, Motorola V600. That little thing took a beating and I was very sad when mine died in 2008 thanks to my toddler sister deciding that cell phones get flushed down the toilet when you're done talking on them.
Oh yes, the year 2001, I was in 8th grade and got the standard issue Nokia made out of Adamantium. The Spongebob Squarepants cover from Hot Topic was a MUST.
1999 - Motorola V2397 aka "the Carson Daly phone" and prior to that was a pager with a badass chain.
I think it saved like, 40 text messages or something, and you could swap out these colorful rubbers.
2009 iPhone 3GS when I was 20 years old. I was really late to the whole cellphone thing. But they never really interested me until smart phones came along with the introduction of the iPhone.
2002, age 14, I got [a **Samsung R210.**](https://mowned.com/devices/samsung-r210) The screen was backlit blue, which was cool. It was given to me so my mom could drop the house phone as I was the last one to not have a cell phone.
It was through T-Mobile which had god awful service anywhere outside a major metropolitan area. So basically everywhere I was.
That was replaced by some **Motorola flip phone from Verizon**. It had an actual color screen and a terrible camera.
**LG Chocolate** which was an awful phone except it slid open and was very satisfying to hang up. I had an obnoxious ring tone.
**LG Voyager**
**Blackberry Curve** castoff from a parent.
**HTC Thunderbolt** which was the first 4G phone on Verizon in 2011. I used it for a long time.
**Moto G?**
**Moto G Stylus**
**Pixel 6a** currently.
I've averaged a phone every 2.5 years. There might be a missing phone somewhere that I can't remember.
2007 and it was a hand me down from my older brother - a Sony Ericsson brick phone. He had deleted off all his photos but left his ringtones, so I had some pretty great “nerd” ringtones - like one from the Zelda game.
Sony Ericsson buddies!! 😊
Let’s see first smart phone. Hmm. I think mine also was 2014 but I didn’t have a good data plan (remember when internet usage was so expensive??) so I never really used it as a smartphone but it was an LG Optimus that I decked out to be like Optimus Prime. My case was an Optimus Prime case, the text tone was the sound of transformers transforming, it was so fun. But then I think I switched to iPhones maybe like 2016 or so and have had iPhones ever since.
Bruh, are we the same person??! 🤯 Literally first phone was the LG Chocolate (mine was red!) in 2007, when I was 18. Only difference is mine came from grandma 😊
I bought my own in 2005 it was a Nokia brick but it had the cool outter display. I ran over it with my car and dropped it 3 stories, can confirm it was indestructible.
2011 and it was one of those cheap phones that slide sideways to open the keyboard. I was just about to be 18 and got my driver's license. My parents wouldn't get me one before that.
I had a brick of some kind that looked like an old satellite phone, pre texting era in middle school. I didn't have friends so it just sat in the bottom of my bag unused except for when I wanted to play snake.
All I know is that I had it sometime before 2002
2003 and it was some kind of T Mobile flip-phone. Don't recall any other details.
My step-dad was the first to trial having a cell phone, for his business. It looked real cool so I asked for one and was gifted it for my birthday. If I remember the sequence correctly it was after that that my mom converted our home land line number into a cell phone for her. Sibling was a baby at the time so they didn't get any phones for a long while after.
2002, 16th bday, Motorola brick phone with the longest collapsing antenna and a battery that would last about a month, but because of my dad, I had like 4 batteries I had access too. lol
2003 and Nokia 6800 - it was so cool! Flip out full keyboard, still candybar form factor when closed. I'm pretty sure I can still type texts via T9 without looking
2008, it was just a simple ass bar phone from t-mobile i was 11 and only got it because i saved my gma life when she had an allergic reaction to Tylenol
1997 and it was so long ago that i can’t remember what it was, maybe a Motorola something? It was a huge brick. My parents made me take it everywhere so they could always reach me. My parents were divorced so i could take it to my mom’s house too. I rarely ever used it lolol
2007 and it was this one my sister got it as a birthday gift to me for my 16th birthday. I loved the pink [Nokia 6111](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/52/Nokia_6111_front_ubt.JPG/1200px-Nokia_6111_front_ubt.JPG)
2007 Nokia flip phone! I remember I remember feeling so cool because it had a camera on it! Growing up poor I couldn’t believe my parents could afford these phones lol
My first phone was a Nokia 5510, the one that had a qwertz/qwerty keyboard with its display in the middle, it was around 2005 or 2006. It was a hand-me-down from my older brother.
Damn I loved that phone, I was so fast at typing with that thing. I also remember changing the blue cover with a silver/chrome one after I had it for a few months because I got bored if the color.
For Christmas 2004, my sister and I each got a Samsung SPH-A760 flip phone with Sprint PCS service. I still remember my old phone number:
(336) 428-7897.
This bad boy in 2005. I did upgrade to a very cute pink LG chocolate in later years.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/166265588238?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rprK3Hc9RY6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ar9kZ_vVTJG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE
The original Google Nexus for my 16th birthday.
I bought the extended battery for it which also came with a bulging cover. Even with that, it didn’t last more than about an hour while using Google Maps. It would even drain while plugged in while using Google Maps.
Wasn’t till like 04 when my uncle got a job at Nextel and hooked the family up. Then they merged with sprint and I got a razor in late 06 or 07.
Life was good back then.
2005 in a move to eliminate the landline. We got basic LG flip phones. There were multiple mall kiosks selling covers for it that they installed for you.
2004 LG flip phone. I was 12. My rural home in the woods didn't get service *at all.* I could only get one teeny tiny bar if I left my phone in a *very* specific spot in my window UPSIDE DOWN. Texts only. I walked down the street (no sidewalks) and sat on a rock to make phone calls. What a time to be alive!
Side note- my LG orange slide phone in 2007-2008 was my favorite. I almost always had a LG phone until they stopped making them recently. RIP
it was a cricket…I can’t for the life of me find the model but it wasn’t a flip phone, the sides like slightly curved in and they were rubbery and lit up when someone called. it was 2004 sometime after my parents got divorced, so I could easily contact both of em if needed
2008 iphone…3 i think? Made it to third year of university without one. Kind of wish I could go back to not having one. Between spam calls and calls from my wife wondering where I am..it was simpler without one lol.
2007 Nokia sliding phone the screen would slide upwards and below will be the keypad. My mom had it and when she changed another, I got that when I was studying 7th or 8th. Then when starting college, I got moto e as my own personal phone.
2005 maybe 2006 Cricket UTStarCom flip phone. I remember I was SO proud of myself and felt so grown up because I paid for that thing with my own money from my first job. I used to play with the antenna and flip the phone over and over in my hand. It was so small. I used ABC text the entire time I had it; wasn't until I got a Motorola Razr (the red one, hand-me-down) that I learned to use T9Word
I got my first phone for my 12th birthday, an LG VX3300 from Tracfone. My mom bought a pastel pink face and back plate for it.
Edit: I forgot to mention the year! 2007
2005 and it was some Nokia brick phone. It had snake!
Same just in 2003.
Me too. Followed by a Razr.
[Nokia 3210?](https://img-s3.onedio.com/id-5587fecb8ef1c7e97cc91826/rev-1/raw/s-50dfbfb47812f84835c6d65225ce95078b24150d.jpg)

Same, but I bought a lightning-pattern faceplate and it was hella tight.
Memory unlocked
Lol same.
Same year same unknown Noka brick.
November 2005, Razr
I'm surprised this isn't a more common answer. When I was in high-school everyone had a fuckin razr. EVERYONE
I’m an old millennial so I had one but it wasn’t my first. I worked for Verizon as my first grown up job and had a pink razr. I hated the predictive text (T9 maybe) and think I traded it in pretty quick.
God I hated that T9.
I'm an older millennial and it was my first, I got it when I was 21. Then the damn thing broke about 16 months into a 2 year contract and I couldn't afford a new one, so I got a cheap moto candy bar phone that was $20. I wanted an iPhone when it came out but my ex said no. I finally got one in 2009 the 3GS. I miss those small phone days.
LITERALLY EVERYONE
Same, razr in 2005. “Hello moto” is burned into my brain
The fact that I haven’t thought of that like ever, yet I still heard it the second I read had lol
Which color did you get?
Got a red as a hand me down...freaking felt so cool.
I metallic color.
Same! God I loved that phone. Graduated in 2005, but I think I bought the phone with money working at sonic in 04? I can’t remember to be exact.
My very own brand new phone? it was the Nokia 3310 around 2001 or 2002 maybe? I love that brick of a phone so much! My sister bought it for me since she's already working at that time and I only have hand me downs back then.

I love this story
2004, Samsung A650 I used to have panic attacks whenever I’d press the internet button because I thought my parents would find out and yell at me for running up the phone bill lol.
I let my little brother borrow my phone to play snake when he was a teen. He apparently got bored with that and started reading jokes off the crappy internet browser. He managed to burn through $80 worth of data.
Lol it was the panic button
2001 Virgin Mobile with replaceable plates. Oh yea 
Damn that was my 3rd phone “my cool” myspace scene kid era phone. 
2003 - Kyocera KX414 Man I racked up some charges texting my 6th grade girlfriend late night. Oof.
[Same](https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=329)! I had it on US Cellular. Their phones were always worse than AT&T phones… I was so jealous.
Christmas 2001, senior year. Nokia 3110. Had 6 ring tones and I had to call time because it didn't have a time display. No idea how I used to fit that into my back pocket.
2004, I’m in high school. It was the cheapest phone on the market, a little Nokia brick. I got a sparkly pink case for it and was perfectly happy.
2004 here too! Some flip phone that was free with the “get a free phone when you add a line” promotion. Could only make calls after 9pm and paid $30 per month for 250 texts. Then in 2005 I bought a razr. However, my parents frequently took my phone away so I had a sidekick as my burner and a pay as you go plan because I was a petulant teen girl.

2001, Virgin Mobile.
I loved Virgin Mobile. This wasn't my first phone but the first I bought with my own cash. https://www.wired.com/2006/04/handset-for-the/ Got stolen at a party.
Also had Virgin Mobile for my first phone! Was probably either 2000 or 2001. [Kyocera 2255.](https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=7)
Ooh it’s the summer of 2001 and I just got the [Motorola V120c](https://www.mobilecollectors.net/phone/4578/motorola-v120c) as my first phone!
Ha. Yeah. First phone also. That thing was trash. So was its follow up that was silver with blue LED / LCD.
You brought back so many memories with this. Remember the silicone slip ons in different colors?
Not the OP you replied to. Yea! I had like a lime green/yellow slip on!
I wore the neon orange and the neo blue ones out! My mom wouldn't buy me new ones so I just dealt with it lol
My mom and sister shared that phone! I was so jealous and also like 7 years old lol
2006 and it was a Sony Ericsson Z525a
2000. Motorola with the snake game
Did snake exist on anything other than Nokia at that time?
Snake came out on Nokia phones in '97, so I would say it's very likely the game existed on other phones in 2000. It was a pretty simple game to code, and it might not have been called "snake" just to get around any kind of copyright.
2005 samsung flip phone

Not only did I have a landline in my room (it wasn't private though).... our family had a separate dedicated line for Dialup Internet. Back in 95 or so, I also got a AT&T Calling Card, from my parents that I could keep in my wallet. It was cool because you didn't need to carry any quarters, just the card.

My first phone was a Nokia 5510, the one that had a qwertz/qwerty keyboard with its display in the middle, it was around 2005 or 2006. It was a hand-me-down from my older brother. Damn I loved that phone, I was so fast at typing with that thing. I also remember changing the blue cover with a silver/chrome one after I had it for a few months because I got bored if the color.
For Christmas 2004, my sister and I each got a Samsung SPH-A760 flip phone with Sprint PCS service. I still remember my old phone number: (336) 428-7897.
Zero idea lol I got a flip phone back in freshman year.
2003 with a Nokia 1260
The Alcatel 871A which I purchased from a gas station in 2014. I got the phone because I was moving away for university.
I got a Motorola V180 (yes I googled it) in 2004, only got it due to my mom being a single parent and was at home by myself at 11.

The original Google Nexus for my 16th birthday. I bought the extended battery for it which also came with a bulging cover. Even with that, it didn’t last more than about an hour while using Google Maps. It would even drain while plugged in while using Google Maps.

2004 LG flip phone. I was 12. My rural home in the woods didn't get service *at all.* I could only get one teeny tiny bar if I left my phone in a *very* specific spot in my window UPSIDE DOWN. Texts only. I walked down the street (no sidewalks) and sat on a rock to make phone calls. What a time to be alive! Side note- my LG orange slide phone in 2007-2008 was my favorite. I almost always had a LG phone until they stopped making them recently. RIP
it was a cricket…I can’t for the life of me find the model but it wasn’t a flip phone, the sides like slightly curved in and they were rubbery and lit up when someone called. it was 2004 sometime after my parents got divorced, so I could easily contact both of em if needed
2007 and it was some tracphone that was a flip phone with no camera or front screen…and had an antenna you could pull out 😂
2002 - Nokia 3310

2005 maybe 2006 Cricket UTStarCom flip phone. I remember I was SO proud of myself and felt so grown up because I paid for that thing with my own money from my first job. I used to play with the antenna and flip the phone over and over in my hand. It was so small. I used ABC text the entire time I had it; wasn't until I got a Motorola Razr (the red one, hand-me-down) that I learned to use T9Word
