My first was the Sony CM-H333 mars bar, replaced by the Ericsson GH337 and then the legendary 2110. Now that was a good phone in it's day.

Motorola StarTAC 85. Bought it for 500 notes in the timesthat providers didn't bundle (at least Swissocm didn't). Cracking lightweight phone. Hinges eventually fell apart and it died

I think mine was a Sagem of some sort. I know it was a Vodafone special at the time, but I was only a young one, so my memory fades now.

Mine was sony ericsson's very 1st phone, Can't find any pictures of it as it was nearly 20 years ago and it was on the analogue network. It was the smallest phone ever made at the time lol

I bought the original Nokia Orange when it first came out.

Back then, it was a revolution in mobile technology being one of the only digi phones available at the time. Plus it had 4 different ring tones!!
