This Ericsson GH218 may or may not be the exact model, I can't remember the number for sure anymore. But it's at least very close. From 17-18 years ago. State-of-the-art at the time.
The one on the left was my first phone
I had that same case.
Same here.lol

I had the Nokia 6010. Great phone but I was thrilled to retire it for the OG Motorola Droid!

My first cell phone was inna bag with a shoulder strap !
And the time was charged per minute ...
We've come a long way baby.

My third phone was one of these, and although some of the buttons are a bit worn it still works - though battery life is down to smartphone standards nowMy first phone ever no jokes

that looks almost identical to my first cellphone, might have been on the same carrier...
I lived in Phoenix, AZ at the time, and I went thru all of the carriers trying to find one that gave good coverage "everywhere"......
there were only two at the time, US West and Verizon.....
I stayed with US West until they merged with somebody and disappeared....
then I tried Verizon to see how their's performed.... and that clinched the deal, nearly 25 years ago now.....
I have not left Verizon since....... no one, and I mean no one, can provide the overall consistent coverage that VZW has as of today.
AT&T is a close 2nd, my best friend is with them.... he has a few irks about their service. He is an OTR truck driver, and every time, he crosses a state line, AT&T drops our calls.
Up until LTE 4g came on the scene, he would brag that his AT&T GSM phone could surf the net and my "lowly Verizon POS" could not.
CDMA does not support that, it is internet, or telephone call.... take your choice.
Even now though, I cannot surf the net and talk on the phone, as 3g is the only game in town where I live.
It is still pick one: internet or make a call.

This may not be it exactly but it's really close. From 1998.
Had a brick phone for a short time, then a Palm Treo 650

Way back when the Blackberry's came out they were the chit !
My job at that time issued me one and I was on a 65 foot man-lift working on a parking lot light and when I leaned over the railing the phone came un-clipped from my belt and dropped to the ground.
I watched it blow up into many pieces just like a throw away phone would.
I was issued a replacement and I accidentally stabbed the screen of that one, with a screwdriver, I was not given another one.

Remember the Blackberry with the clickable screen?!
