What was your first phone

Mine was number 2

 

I was a late adopter. Knew they’d never catch on

First I remember was the Nokia slider from the matrix.

I was very excited about getting football scores via WAP. It was the phone alternative to staring at teletext

 

Mine was one of these, a Mitsubishi Roamer, 1990. Came with the new job and company car, originally sold for £2200 I believe.

Bloody thing weighed a ton, you couldn’t get a signal to make calls on it and the car kit looked like a rocket launcher in the dark.



Impressed the young ladies no end though...

 

“come see my new car love, I’ll show you my rocket launcher and take you to the stars”

 

A Nokia but can’t remember which one, 3120 maybe?

 

I think it was a 7 or maybe 9, it was the one that you could use in several different countries as there was a time when the US, EU, Asia and AU had slightly different mobile networks.

 

I hated the idea of them and it was only 3 Christmases ago that I relented and one of my sons bought me one. Which I still have. a Huawei 360

Had to take it out of my pocket when I sat down it was that big.

 

Are you still talking about the phone

 

Yep, the one my mum and dad had and th first time I realised how dumb arse this country could be when I realised the US and practically everywhere else in the world used 111 for emergency calls instead of 999

 

111? 911 in the Americas & 112 in most of Europe. Never heard of 111.

Btw, we were the first to have one - in 1937.

 

Good point, I’m getting old

 

Actually

 

It was a Motorola 5200
Looks like number 4
