Your first ever Mobile Phone and what make and model was it?!

[Basil Fawlty]

Can you remember your first ever Mobile Phone, also the make and model of the Phone as well?!

My first ever Mobile Phone was this:- Nokia 3310.

WTF. Presumably everyone on here is in their twenties? Almost everyone in their thirties/forties will say the One2One M300. The first ever affordable mobile (£300 - piss-cheap for a mobile in those days and with free calls to local landlines included), it single-handedly created the whole "mobile phones for everyone not just yuppies" culture and was the first mobile of not just myself but every single person I knew. It was The Beatles of mobiles and I pity those of you too young to have been there at the time to experience it. Everything posted in this thread so far is a Coldplay or Steps at best.

 

[MissGull]

The mighty 5110, with changeable fascias. snake! Need I say more?

 

[tinx]

Motorola Startac for me on the one2one network.

I'm in my 50s but, yes, that was my first one, circa 1994

I had one of these bad boys

 

[rouseytastic]

This bad boy. Late 90's I think. Had it on a contract with Cellnet.
Remember thinking how small it was!

 

[rouseytastic]

And while we're at it this was my favourite. This and the metal version with the blue back light screen that I still have in a drawer somewhere
