My very first cellphone was a Motorola C261 from TracFone. I got it in Christmas of 2005 and I thought it was the best phone ever. I was so happy when I got it. It had a beast of a VGA camera on it and it was a bar phone. I would totally go back to those days if I could.

I retired in 2010 and my kids talked me into an iPhone 3GS before that my phones were supplied at work and the first potable one I had a battery that weighed about 15 pounds and an 8 or 10 foot antenna. The handset was a regular house phone handset and on top of the battery was a base you put the handset on to hang up. The rotary dialer was on top of the battery too. And yes I do remember that when I was a kid milk was delivered to my house by the milkman and he used a horse drawn carriage with the milk kept cool by blocks of ice

Sadly while I have a few smartphones, I sometimes have to use the SIM adapter and pop the card into my old flip phone if I need to go to the bad part of town. NY has mostly gotten past the phase where people would try to rob you for a flip phone, but they will still try and rob you for even a $50 smart phone that I first tried before just switching to using a high end device for the good part of the city, and a flip phone for the bad part.

Oh man, I can’t remember what my first phone was. I think it was that house phone looking one. Apparently my memory only goes back as far as to the Sidekick and the first gen Motorola Droid. That was a rad phone. I hacked DOOM on to it. Was hard af to play on it, but it was the accomplishment that mattered. I was a big supporter of Android when it came out. And a PC guy. But once I got my hands on an iPhone 4s my world changed. Then I got a Mac Mini, then an iPad and ever since then haven’t turned back from the Apple ecosystem. It just works beautifully. (Until Steve Jobs died)

I never had my first phone until later of 2008, when I was 18. My first phone was the Blackberry Curve 8310 which my mom lend it to me shortly after my dad bought 2 of the same phones after he returned home from airport. It was a great looking phone (although I later knew there were better BlackBerry phones out there like the Bold, which I could not afford) and I can surf the internet, but only for a week since my dad couldn't afford to have two seperate internet plans. I use only GSM since then. My Android device was a very cheap tablet that is so less powerful than any Android phones back in 2011 for Christmas. Well, two cheap tablets. I accidentally broke one, and the second one become nearly unusable due to the bloating battery because of the heatwave that struck our neighborhood. My third tablet was a decent Android device, and it was made by Acer. She buy this for me just in case my second tablet failed, like a spare tablet.

My first phone was an AMOi A9b, the followed by the whole series the brand had to offer (S6, D85, D89, M636) before eventually moving to Sony Ericsson in the likes of the swivel phones S700i, W550i and then W900i... These phone we're damn durable, they didn't even had to go to the service centre but eventually sim support and the closure of 2G networks made them redundant and I switched to Sharp Aquos Crystal and Crystal X till this date...

I had that for a good while too until I got an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 4s when the 6 got released. In 2014 I got a 6, in 2016 I got a note 5, note 8 now. Still use the iPhone 6 on the side for other things, like the gym etc

remember most of those, but u failed to mention blackberrys! Not my first phone but my 4th. Back in the day, we had cell one in NY, you could upgrade every year for a penny, after they sold out to sprint, you could upgrade every 2 years for a few bucks. After having a cell phone for 20 plus years, I'm on metro. Not the newest and greatest, but cheaper plans, I'm not about to toss $90 just for having a phone, let alone data cost.

First phone i ever had is LG 420G. a flip phone. my parents bought for me for my 18th brithday (in 2011). Never had a cell phone up to that point, due to the fact that my parents didn't want me to have a cellphone (and where mostly hell bent on making sure up to my 18th birthday) and due to being how close my brithday was to the last day of high school, i really didn't have much contact on it. But did had an ipod touch (4g) so it was good...i guess
