It's all about the nokia 6310 - amazing phone.

++++

Had a 6210 and 6310i

I keep meaning to find a charger for the 8110i sat in my drawer.

The younger generation won't want to know what it is.

Because it doesn't have facebook

Some days I would rather have a Nokia 3210 than my iPhone !

...and the postage is £49.99....

for £1.69 unlocked I would have taken one..seriously...great emergency phone etc.

Postage was only few quid. On a whole it was only just shy of 1 expensive pint of larger.

3210 was the perfect drunken phone, you drop it, it explodes in to pieces, you then put it back together and it works fine.

Don't forget to "mod" it with the vibration motor

My first mobile was a Maxon analogue phone. (Before GSM and SimCards)

To be fair..... the nokia 3210 / 3310 / 8210 are more solid builds than todays phones ! I would have one of these any day of the week!

Well when your 3210 arrives I'll happily take your iPhone (or whatever you have) off your hands for free!

I've still got my very first mobile, a 7110!

I've still got my first mobile somewhere, it was from orange, can't remember what it was now but it has a pull up arieal and took 4 AA batteries or a rechargable battery pack. Classic.

Some how I don't think the link to buy one is valid any more!

 

[Wicksta]

Not old skool enough!

My first mobile was a non sim card one and had a pull out aerial!

It was a Pioneer brick phone

This was my first non GSM mobile, bought in 1994 when I worked for Mercury Communications just before they launched 1-2-1:

The pics really don't demonstrate how big that phone was. The dock was amazing, and similar to my Desire one now with the spare battery charger.

 

[Sunbed]

This was prob my favorite, anyone know what it was called? It never died!

siemens a55 iirc.

my first phone was an old motorla that used large sim cards iirc,
this was it, back when you had to by airtime and credit, and way before texting came about.

My first phone was a Nokia 3110. So old they've even released another phone with the same model number since.

Snap!
