The mobile forum can be a little doom and gloom at times and a little same-old, same-old so I thought I'd try and add a little interest by starting a new game.

You have to say what your first mobile phone was (please add a picture), say what you liked about it most and say what your current phone is...here goes.

My first phone was a Nokia 5110

What I liked about it most was 'Snake' and being able to change the covers.

My current phone is a ZTE Blade


Who's next? :rotfl:

    This wasn't actually my first, but I can't remember what my first was called, it was a Vodafone branded handset fitted permanently in the car.

    This was when I became really modern, and bought a "mobile"

    Did it need a second battery installed in the boot?

    It's not a massive cellphone, this owner is pint-sized.

    Philips Savvy, had great little horiscope game. Think it's still tucked away somewhere and still works.

    Best bit was as well, the phone was £299 on top of the 12 month contract £17.63 per month which included 15 mins to landline or orange (and folk moan about paying for top end handsets nowadays :eek: )

    Motorola 4800 brick was my first mobile phone. Can't believe I've had one just short of 20 years.

    Nokia 3310 (or 5110 can't remember) £99.99 in 1999 with Orange
    (good point - it worked as an alarm - not much else - could not text or call in those days, cost too much).

    and Ericsson t28 in 2001 - this on vodafone contract (overheated and died)

    The T28 was class, mine the mic had packed up, then got a T39M, that was the best handset ever.
