Post your past history of devices you have been using for the last 10 years! I remember my first was a Nokia 6 series with a brown face plate! It was heavy and no color screen.

My wireless background:

  • 1995 - Beeper pager
  • 1998 - Nokia 6 serie (Pacbell)
  • 1999 - Sony Ericsson T68
  • 2000 - Nokia 8 series (that silver one that slide out like in the Matrix movie)
  • 2002 - Treo 600 (yuck)
  • 2003 - Treo 650 (yucker)
  • 2004 - Motorola RAZR V3 (of course! the must have phone)
  • 2005 - HTC Cingular 2125 Windows mobile
  • 2007 - Apple iPhone (best ever!)

I started with a black and white LG flip phone. I don't know the models, you seem pretty savy with this stuff. But I just got this new phone, so hence I come to you.

Here goes...don't know if I can get everything...

1988 - NEC phone screwed to my floorboard
1990 - Panasonic portable - size of small briefcase with a battery that would nearly last for an entire conversation - was plugged into the cig lighter nearly all the time. Airlines charged you an extra bag fee...
1992 - motorola flip - size of a brick, but cool
1993 - motorola flip - micro series - very cool, people in airports oogled
1994 - nokia candybar - still nearly a brick, but digital; people in the airports really ooogled - thats when we had those cool swivel clips that hooked to your belt
1996 - smaller nokia candybar - by this time, every guy in the airport had a swivel clip on their belt - getting uncool
1998 - smaller nokia
1999 - that really cool, very small nokia candy bar - more ooogles; batterly lasted for days; kept it in your pants pocket, the new standard of cool
2002 - nokia 6320? also a candybar, great phone, maybe best at just plain talking
2005 - att sold out, except for my town, all the sudden had alltel with a lg flip - ok phone, ho hum, short cdma battery life
2007 - motorola RIZR, very cool; iphone price dropped $200 yesterday, still not cheap enough to go back to cingular, maybe someday.

Cell phones, the killer of pay phones. Watch out for SUV drivers talking on their phones.

Great now the iPhone is cheaper and I got the discontinued version 4GB in my hand. So much for that. Already looking for a newer phone. Thinking of RAZR2 or HTC Touch.

I can't recall the exact years, but here's my phone list starting with the very first one ever.

198? - Huge black box by Panasonic maybe?? (w/corded handset) that looked like a military phone. Complete with shoulder strap.

Nokia Flip (can't think of model)

2 more phones that I can't think of the models right now because I turned them in for recycling.

Nokia 5170

Panasonic EB TX320??

Motorola v180

Nokia 3155i

Samsung A707

Added note, the most expensive was a Nokia because I bought the purple faceplate and almost every adapter available only to have Sprint's network change and I had to give them back that phone to get another phone plus a car kit I never used. DRAT!!

I had an ericson, which had a piece of plastic that "flipped" to cover the keys. It was sized like a mini brick. Heavy with a big battery. It lasted about 5 hours charged.

After that I had a Nokia with a plain grey and black screen on it, no light; but the phone was much smaller. It had cool changeable face plate and back!

Next was a kyocera, quite small, color display.

Now I have a Rokr Z6m. I just got a few days ago and I love it!
