Can you remember your first mobile phone?

No in the trike i'll have you know

 

Do you know when Baz answers the phone, he puts on a hoity toity woman’s voice and says “The Haynes residence.....lady of the house speaking...”

 

We had one the same as that, kept tripping over it on the scaffold. Remember the cost of a call being mighty expensive.

 

I also had one of these. Used to sit it on the dash of the old Hiace
Can’t believe someone wants £1300 for this one. I remember my old gaffa using it as a door wedge a few years later.

 

I seem to remember that my first phone bill was in the vicinity of $1500.00.
I'd gone and sat in the car and phoned every contact in my Filofax to let them know my new phone number.
What a bloody pretentious prat.

 

Dim

 

Won't ask how or why it became "mobile"

 

Fear of being mistaken for an Estate Agent, Banker or similar meant waiting until 1999 to get a Nokia 3330 .... which soon became the phone of choice for the under fives

T'was ace!
Only two since then.
Both Motorola, both bargainous given their "performance".

 

A rep cam to my office back in the day and offered me this one , I said when you have a small thing i can easily put in my top pocket please come back . It didn’t take them long to do that did it !! I still have a quite old very slim and light one that fits in the smallest of pockets and doesn’t need to hang off my backside and a few of my old Nokia or ange ones in a box somewhere but they are a bit more brickeee !

 

Nokia 6210 was the classic. Had one for many years, even survived a drop down the armitage shanks after a stag night

 

i also has one of those motorola phones.

I worked in a car bodyshop and the recovery truck had one. The drivers kept breaking them so there were a bunch of broken phones in a filing cabinet. I pulled them all to pieces and made up a working phone for free.

very expensive to run though - contract & calls both very costly IIRC.

 

Real horrorshow actor was Warren Clarke

 

My number is the same.

 

Number 7 for me along with a nice shoulder holster

 

Not sure why we still call them mobile phones though..

 

And I bet it had "Button A" & "Button B" too!!!

 

No.9.
Nokia 401
