** The 'official' retro phones thread **

My first phone back in 2000

You could put your date of birth in and it would tell how you how your day is going to be!
 
Thread revival, but also a bump for mrbell1984. A few people mentioned Nokia 5110 as their first. It was my first as well, but it was re-badged by Orange as the "Nokia 402". Mine had the blue cover as pictured below. Orange PAYG in mid-2000, aged 22, so I was already late on the bandwagon and the handset was relatively old as most people have moved onto the Nokia 3210.

I remember having a Nokia 6600 as a kid. It was amazing at the time!

After having the trusty 5110/402 for 4 years, I then moved onto a contract and got the Nokia 6600 in 2004. I don't know why not many people had this phone (I only knew 1 other person with it), but it was very liberating.

After that, I had a Sony-Ericcson P910i in 2005 and then a P990i in 2007. These were PDA-phones, in which nowadays we refer as smart phones. Then I had an LG Viewty in 2009, a Samsung Galaxy Apollo (my first Android) in 2010 then the Galaxy SII in 2011. That's where I'm currently at. Due for renewal around Christmas time and it's a toss between the S4, the Note III or the Mega :-)

Good thread though. I wouldn't mind grabbing a 5110/402 or a 3210 for nostalgia to keep as a spare. Do I get any "retro points" for keeping the same phone number for all 13 years of being a mobile user?
 
Ive been trying to get a Dancall DC1 Orange phone for nostalgia reasons too - my first phone in 1994/5 - followed that with the NK702 Nokia then the 6210 above - through all them and after the N95 was the iPhone 3G, 4 and now 5.
 
My first phone was a Siemens SL10, but i got mugged by 2 blokes while doing my paper round :rolleyes:

After that i got a Nokia 402, put a UK flag face plate on it and a flashing aerial. :D

I loved the feel of the rice grain buttons on the w880i! I even remember going on and getting it on payg the day it was released!

EDIT: I was drunk one night and the next day I knocked the phone off my bed into a sick bucket! I had to put my hand into the bucket to get the phone out! I ended up buying the silver w880i (I had the black) as they wouldn't replace it due to 'water damage'
