Isn't it funny to think how awesome we used to think our old phones were?

This! Probably one of the best phone of all time !

but I honestly have had so many phones since then I can't even name/count them, between 15-25. No Idea, I usually change every 4-7 months.

Anyone else do this ? Or am I weird.

I got my first "mobile" in 1995, and this is the closest thing I can find that looks like it. A Motorola Bag Phone, that I had hardwired into my '94 Mustang GT. Ah, those were good times.

Purchased in 1993, it was $99 and included a free leather case and extra extended battery. I seriously enjoyed using this phone but back then, the airtime was expensive, about $200 for 6 hours.

The phone could retain a call when swapping batteries and was analog. Sometimes, the sound quality was much better than what we have now.

Panasonic model EB-3511

Had the old Motorola "brick" back in 1995. Moved on to a StarTac as soon as they came out & didn't upgrade again until the Audiovox Thera Pocket PC came out in 2001.

Went Blackberry after that.. Various Curves, Storm 1st gen, Tour, then I finally gave up on the lack if apps and have had the iPhone 4 since 2010.

Mine was similar to this, but not this exact model. All I remember is that it was on Orange pay as you go :p

I then had a 3310 followed by an old HTC windows mobile 6.0 phone then an iPhone 1 which was £179 brand new when O2 were selling them off cheap within 3 months of it coming out!

I remember clearly the first time i whipped it out at school; i got laughed at.

I stopped using it that very moment and saved up to buy a Motorola T720 a few weeks later which was much cooler.

Oh yes, I looked pretty awesome carrying that in Primary School. Moved onto the Nokia 3210 directly after this which is bringing back lots of memories of Snake.

This was my first cell-phone that was all mine and didn't have to share. Got it freshmen year of high school. I had the notorious Nokia's but shared them with my brothers.
