re: Your first cell phone? When, where, why, and what?

Nokia 3310 or one of the variants. I got it my freshman year of high school. My parents got it for me because I went on a solo spring break trip out to my aunt & uncles place in Steamboat Springs.

Got the nokia 5100 series senior year of high school. I bought so many of the different color/style faceplates that I had to have spent more money on them than the phone itself. I miss that guy.

Motorola's cell phone division is/was headquartered in the town I grew up in. In 2006 a HS buddy of mine, whose dad worked there, had what I think was a working prototype for a future RAZR model, that never got released. I can't recall exactly what it looked like, and have not been able to find any pictures similar to it. I know it had both a front and rear camera.

He thought he was hot shite with his super exclusive, fancy future RAZR

Girl I was dating bought me a bag phone early 90’s.

Car mount Motorola, circa 1995.

It was a Motorola. I forget the model, circa 1998-99?

Had my first cell in Korea in 1999. It was a little LG phone about the size of a zippo lighter. They didn't do anything but make calls then so the trend in Korea at that time was to make the phone as small as possible.

I got a Motorola Startac around 2000/2001. Whichever one was the current model at the time.

I left the golf business in ‘99 and went to work for one of my members who owned 33 retail cell phone stores around Atlanta. I carried all of the phones people have posted at one time or another, and I still have quite a few of them.

Brings back some great memories.

I used to trade stocks on my star tac. I'd call tda 800 number and refresh stock prices and buy and sell.

My first cell phone was a giant Motorola.

1994, thought I was the shite. Even had the leather carrying case
Bell South Mobility, 50 bucks a month for 100 minutes not counting roaming fees and long distance.. Still have the same number.
