My mum used to have tat...cost few k if im not wrong..
My first phone was callzone. Gift from my mum when Im doing my PSLE. so tat i can call her when to fetch me.
Then sec 1 and 2 neva use... sec3 use startac... then change to Nokia 8250...
after tat got alot.. i forgot already... -
Ericsson t28, free from starhub, yes, free, absolutely free. -
first phone ... 3210 .... used it till it died, RIP ...
second phone ... 3310 .... used it till it died, RIP ....
third phone ... dunno wat model, some nokia with colour screen and a camera ... parent's gift sent from home ... still using it ...
so there, three phones in a decade ... I NEVER get the latest models ... methinks it's a waste of money ...
(okie ... there was one time when this tiny blue eye samsung flip phone came out and I got it ... but I disliked it so much I passed it onto my younger bro and reverted back to my old 3310 ..... ) -
I've only had 3. Except for the one I have now, I can't tell you what make and model the other two were to save my life. Besides cells here in the States are ancient when compared to Sg's.

it's not that they are ancient lah ... just that they use a different network ...Originally posted by jetta:I've only had 3. Except for the one I have now, I can't tell you what make and model the other two were to save my life. Besides cells here in the States are ancient when compared to Sg's. -
My first phone was an SE T200...I miss how easy it was to type SMSes with it. Alas it stopped vibrating after a while.
Next was a second-hand SE T610 from my cousin (my only camera phone). Crap camera, crap 'joystick', crap reception. I hated it.
I used my Dad's Nokia 7100 for a while. It was tough as nails but the old battery couldn't last more than a day without recharging.
Then came my Nokia 3120. The volume, reception and user-friendliness were all so much better than that of the T610. It's also close to my heart, but I lost it.
That led to my purchase of a Motorola W220. The battery lasts long and the sound is clear. My peeves though are the lack of a clock display on the clamshell cover, the insensitivity of the keys and the strange SMS interface. -
yes lah. the cellphones in north america are really ugly and cmi if you compare them to those you can find in singapore. ahahahah~~
mine....is some nokia one. dont know which model
the one im using now is also my first one. ahahaha...and it used to be my mom's. wahahahahahahah~~~
wow...after searching on google for the past 10 minutes, IVE FOUND IT!
or at least i THINK its this one...
(just did some research, WRONG PHONE!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH MODEL MINE IS!! ahahahahaha~~) -
I'm using this one too ... -
Does anyone remembers those phones installed in cars?
Yeppers, my father had one installed in the old merc long long time ago.
Then my very first phone was the old Motorola Drinking Bottle Kind. Cant remember whats its called. -
let's see.. i had a 388 which was forced on me because i had to be found some times..
didn't like it much although it was one tough mutha..
then i decided that CDMA was the way to go with the technical specs being that good.. i got myself a sony transistor radio
the CDMA line went to heck after a while.. i'm still angry about it because it was a good system and i never had a dropped call..
they gave me one big phone for it.. which i gave mom..
i went and bought something smaller
it lasted me about 1 1/2 months because it drowned in the washing machine
so i bought this...
i liked the nifty blue screen... i used it until mom's 3310 died and she commandeered this..
so i bought a very pretty Samsung.. sold by the vibrant colour screen
but i dropped it way too many times and it cracked and water went in and... it's dead basically
now.. it's the motorola thingy.. i like this coz it's thinner than heck and a clamshell
-
my sister is currently using this
ahahahahahhahaha~~~
my mom's VERY OLD phone....
but her's is a toronto line. so hers is only for emergency.... -
i want this phone back from mom.. unfortunately, it's dead..
i like this phone.. and i'm sure pinkybear would have liked it if i used it too.. so i would not be able to send pictures of food to torture her

Gave one to a fren recently.
I left one as spare in Phuket Thailand.
Another spare is sitting at home.
Easy to find those new covers, but they are hardly good to use cos they makes the buttons harder to depress.
Both in Phuket & home is pink and red in colour respectively. -
Started out with this, Dad's hand me down.
then moved on to this, which lasted me from Sec 3 to Pre-U1
then it was this brick of an phone, really colorful. A hand-me-down.
until I got this..
my first Nokia..before I enlisted..which lasted till I figured that it was too fragile in a workshop depot environment.
so I got this for free on a contract
I was crazy enough to buy this, the Motorola A925. After ORD.
The battery life of the A925 was horrendous, it didn't last a day, although everything else was sweet..including the screen resolution.So I traded it away for the O2 XDA II. Well, it has died and come back to life many times, but I'm still using it..

"The Motorola 8700 was fitted as a removable handset in the earliest Jaguar XK8 and XKR luxury sports coupe and convertible. This was the model Jaguar used in the cars before the StarTAC (from 1998 onwards)"

The famous loansharks' fav, the huge Motorola ETAC brick phone...Originally posted by LazerLordz:Share your very first handphone if any. Remember the heavy ones, the ones with stubby lil antennas and long sharp ones?
Then moved on to Motorola 5200, Motorola 8500, StarTac 90, Motorola V3688, Motorola V8088, Nokia 8850 Gold Edition, Nokia 8310, Nokia 7250, Mitsubishi M900, and lastly Sony Ericsson w850i now...

My first phone was this beauty:
Then I changed to Nokia 8310 for the radio. I also tried using a Nokia 7260 for a short while. Now I'm using N80. So much for brand loyalty.
But I think the newer Nokia phones tend to be rather sucky. Next time I think I'll go for SE or Samsung. -
