2001

2003

2006 - this phone broke was insured though

2007 - the replacement made of metal

2009 - 16GB 3G to replace my iPod touch 1G (16gb)

After 9 years of being with ATT - their prices and level of service have made it impossible to be with them. Thank you Sprint for getting a great phone!

I was just reminiscing about changing my Nokia phones' casing colors every month (about 10 years ago). I wish I could get a white Evo.

Lovely thread.

This was my first, an Ericsson SH888 equivalent:

I was in the UK though and it had one of those bendy antennas. It was a tiny phone for its time though. We all wanted "stubby" antennas though like this one had and bought them, but the reception would suffer.

After that, I think I went to this, the Nokia 8110:

To this very day, one of my absolute favorites, the slider and shape were unique at the time. I think they called it the "banana phone", but it was a pain having to slide all the time to access keypad and make calls. Still, I have fond memories about this thing.

Then I think I got one of the little Motorola phones. It was like a Startac, only smaller and rounder and James Bond used one, so it had to be cool, right? Wish I could remember what it was called.

Most of my more recent phones from 2000 onwards have been less interesting, until the EVO 4G of course

Hopefully to be replaced by an evo 4g in July.

Wow, nice CRPercodani. I didn't realize anyone else had the KX 2

I thought I was so damn cool walking around with a swivel phone haha.

I've always been obsessed with smartphones. Hell my very first phone was a smartphone.

then dot com crashed and so I went and had to struggle my way back into the smartphone arena, looking forward to my EVOlution 6/4!

You had a Zack Morris phone?

My first was in 1999, some basic nokia.

Awesome reference! I thought the exact same thing!!

Lmao. Is it something I said, or is it because of the brick of a no paragraph novel above, that caused everyone to no longer respond to this thread since this morning?
