When I was a kid you couldn't choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted or tabletop. They were leased from the phone company when you paid for a phone line.

My grandmother kept her bakelite rotary phone until she couldn't call her doctor without a touchtone.

Oh my, I recognise #5! My dad had one of those and I inherited it before I got the classic Nokia brick with Snake and Space Invaders (?).

[–] marito@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Damn, are you me?

[–] gorkur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Motorola D160. That thing was an absolute tank. Switched to the Nokia 5110 but still kept the D160 for the more rough stuff, camping trips, construction, etc.

Can't say I miss having that thing strapped to my belt though 😅

What no bag phone!

My first phone was one of the Nokia bricks around the time of the 3310. When I was in middle school my old man carried a pager. He eventually had a phone around #5. My first was somewhere between 7-10.

With my first body shop, I ordered a used Sony Ericsson T800 from eBay that came from Europe. It was one of the first smartphones, pre android and with a resistive touch screen. I knew the utility was far more valuable. A bunch of family and friends swore up and down about their dumb flip phones and razors, and how I was crazy.

Are you sure it was the T800? I can only find the P800 when googling.

I checks as I had never heard about the T800, but remembered my dad having a P800 for a few years

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Could be. Probably.

My first phone was like 18 but also I didn't get a cellphone until I was nearly 30

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

1 is older than I am

Sagem my411X

Yeah, number one was Zack Morris's phone. I think that the first mobile phone that I had was close to four. It definitely had the extendable antenna and was a flip phone but not a true flip phone like 5.

[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

Something similar to 17, but black and orange. It had the prince of persia and a snowboarding game pre-installed

[–] Thrawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Flip version of 11. The Perl flip.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

11 because I was still super young and got my first real job at age 22, and it was still an era when cell phones weren't requirements, and my parents absolutely weren't paying for them yet. Felt super cool getting such a crazy phone, but the appeal rubbed off quick once I got those on call calls at 3am...

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Motorola c115

Same, number 3. Still have the original phone number even!
