My first phone was a Nokia 3315, it also became handy when I needed to throw something in self defense. I can drop that model on the floor and I know it will still function as designed, to be a communications and a disposable weapon.

Leaving that model out in the open won't get it stolen nowadays, only thieves eye for smart phones now. I still remember wasting hours on laying brick game snake and space impact on it. Good Times. 

I know someone who actually refuses to use a 'smart phone'.  No pictures.  No doodads.  Just phone calls and text. It's almost a data neutral zone. Have to respect that sort of purism :)

My first cell phone did not even have a camera.

I cant even remember the details of mine other than it being a BT Cellnet thing, might have been a rebranded Sony Eriksson. I loved the thing even if it only held its charge for about 4 hours, lol

Not only is  Nokia a prized artifact but it will support the Re-establishment of humanity once COVID ends. It is all that will be left, even after a meteorite strike the only remnants of human life will he, the Nokia

My first phone was a Nokia 101, I think about 1996. It was an analogue phone before gsm came out. I don't even think it had snake on it. Nokia were such a market leader back then, shame they didn't adopt open architecture and adopt android early on, otherwise they would still be a strong force in the mobile category. Sony made the same mistake with Memory Stick, adopting cross company standards on SD cards too late leaving them with a diminished market share. It wasnt as fatal for Sony as for Nokia, but its a lesson for corporates thinking they can lock competitors out by forcing customers to use their products for everything. The next battleground for this is portable power tools, where you are forced to buy the same brand so the battery fits every device...I wonder how long this will last...

My first phone was the Nokia 3315. I knew a few others including a brother with one and I wanted one!
So at the time I was in year/grade 10 back in 2003, doing some work experience and I got $140 since I was there for maybe a month or 2, a couple days a week.

That cheque went onto buying my 3315 and was the first big purchase and my first ever phone I owned, it was amazing and I used it for years until I finally got a phone with polyphonic ringtones after seeing my cousin with it and wanting it haha.

Simpler times from 2005 and before!

Few years back i exactly had this piece and this photo made me remember those golden days when we used the phone to communicate more than entertainment.
