It is a Nokia 3210

My First mobile was Nokia 6030 in 2006

M

Thanks for the replies friends.
My first phone was Nokia 3310, and it was back in 2000.

My first phone was a Sony Ericsson w910i which i got when i was 15 back in 2008. It used to hang quite often, but somehow i managed to live with it until someone flicked it off at school.

My first phone was Motorola C300... (October 2003) It was an awesome phone of its day. Small, round silver handset. Super loud ringtone, great alarm. Screen backlight could change colors. I think it was one of the best phones Motorola had ever made...

my first phone was Nokia 2300, back in 2005...

Well..My first Phone was Nokia 6030 in 2005...Still going tough inspite of all the falls it has encountered..just slight cosmetic issues....

my first phone was and still is Nokia 5130 XM. My father gifted me that phone in December of 2009 when i was in class XI. Infact i'm posting this message from this phone itself! A superb phone with great build quality and excellent music output capability when paired with a good earphone!

i'll be buying LG O1 within some weeks, but i'll be still using this phone!

My 1st phone was Motorola V3i which i brought in 2006.Use that phone for more that 4 years.It is still working as good as on 1 st day

.Last month i decided to go for new Andriod phone and i buy Desire S.

Include V3i also

Nokia 1600, 1100 and then finally settled on Samsung X100 (color!) all in 2 months of 2004. The X100 has survived a 5 minute descend in water when it was just 6 months old and is still a very usable phone for phone and messaging purposes. Heck, it even has GPRS & MMS & a phonebook that can hold 5 numbers per entry.

This thread made me emotional, ha ha. My first mobile was Motorola E365, Oct, 2004. Cost me Rs.9,000. It had VGA camera, and it was Puja that time, so I took a lot of pics, downloaded a lot of .mid ringtones, wallpapers etc...it was a great experience for 7-8 months till the phone suddenly started restarting and else. I really liked and loved it, I still have it, DEAD. It will be in memory until I die. My second was P910i after one year, and from then, well I will break my KB :))

That DEAD one had a good looking too,

Mine was Samsung R220 way back in 2002. It had a blue display, WAP, and a funny antenna too. It was still working in 2011 February when I had to exchange it for a newer phone as there was no charger available in the market.

Looks like I am the only one whose first phone was a Samsung before they became big in India!

Nokia 2600 bought in 2004.

SE K700i.. chosen it over Nokia 6600

Was not app fanatic. Requirement was AWESOME camera and MUSIC.

also sacrificed SD card slot for that

idea was to listen few good quality songs instead of mono sound on 6600

Next was SE K790i and now Galaxy S

all devices having Awesome Sound Quality

Music Junkie

Motorola E398.. chosen it over Nokia 6600

*img.ps2netdrivers.net/img/9d/motorola.e398/small.jpg

Requirement was AWESOME 3D Stereo Sound Speakes with Bass.

Dual 16mm 22Khz built in stereo speakers with sub-woofer like vibrating bass.

Extra Features-

Rhythm Lights- Instead of the traditional LED, this phone has rhythm lights, on both sides. These lights light up whenever someone is calling or messaging, when Bluetooth is on (lights turn blue) and when the phone is being charged.

yes. all ROKR are based on linux (monta vista linux, ezx, tux, etc) & powered by Intel Xscale (terrible graphics).

at that time, i was only interested in RAZR series!

Has been a short but exciting journey with my phones. Loved MotoROKR E6 the most. It was ages ahead of its time with Linux and the maddability that it brought along.
Started with a LG KG300, which slipped out of my pocket
*www.cyberindian.net/wp-content/uploads/lg-dynamite-300.jpg
2007

Then Got MotoRKR E5 after being recommended by people here on this forum. Unfortunately was stolen in the bus.
*www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2007/07/16/Motorokr_narrowweb__300x644,0.jpg

Used LG B2070 in the interim period

2008

Then again after Forum's recommendations got Nokia 5320
*st2.gsmarena.com/vv/pics/nokia/nokia-5320-01.jpg
2009

Broke it and got LG GM200
*www.unwiredview.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/lg-gm200.jpg
2010

After being irritated by the dumbness of the phone finally got my current handset Nokia 5230

I think we have got the same pattern in choosing phones, my 1st was 3310>6600>N-70-1>Samsung S5200, so there are lots of similarities in our choice.

After using my beautiful Moto C300 for a year, I exchanged it for a second hand Nokia N-Gaga QD...

*www.theregister.co.uk/2004/04/14/nokia_ngage_qd.jpg

It was great for games, good for music, bluetooth internet tethering in those days... but couldn't keep that expensive phone in the hostel where I lived. I needed a smaller, more portable phone...

So got myself a new, sleak Samsung C100.

*images.techtree.com/ttimages/story/samsung-SGH-C100.jpg

I had great memories with that phone... Really loved it... Used it to the max...

*www.mobilephone.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Nokia-2600-Specifications.jpg

Nokia 2600 Classic.
This is my first phone and I am currently using it. I mother was using this from sometime(dunno, about 1.5-2yrs), and I got this last year. This is a very bad phone for me. Only 12MB memory, typing is very hard, hangs often. I am changing it, but I loved this phone when I got it(after all its my first phone

)

my first was Nokia 3110c

, awesome fone.. best known for its easy and fast Edge connectivity.

First ever phone bought for me was a 2nd hand nokia 6680. Bought it for 7000 or smthing. I didnt knew much abt the phone prices then. So went for this when my friend said he was selling it. Compelled my dad and bought it. It was a nice phone. I learned the basics of multitasking and Applications in phone in that. used to click photos in that 1.3MP,which was like 8MP then. He.. he..
I had to sell it cauz it got drenched in sea water and the keypad and all started to malfunction.
Sold it for 2000 bucks i think. These all happened 4-5 years back.

And after that I bought my SonyEricsson W300i. Used it to the max. I loved the flashing and awesome headset that came with it. using it even now.
It turns 3 year old this december. Changed the casing for Rs.2100 recently.

I bought a Micromax Q2 nd Q75 duringg last year. Gave Q2 to my uncle day b4 yesterday.
now using Ma W300 nd Q75.
I love my W300 the most. Though it dont have a MP camera or App Store support, it is so nice.

Thanks to all of you, for sharing your first mobile phone. Mine was 3310 as i mentioned earlier. I think that was a phone with power and look, and now a days we can find stylish phones with lots of features, but the main problem we have to face is about the battery life.and hardware issues. New generation of mobile phones is not long lasting. I dont change my mobile phone until it has any hardware issue, but in every year or so, performance and features of mobile's not respond as it was responding when it was purchased.
I used N70 and that was my most lovable phone till date, but last year it got any issue with its display and it was dead. Very sad for me, because Nokia is not making that phone now, and i have to switch to Samsung metro, which i dont like as i liked N70.

Sony Ericsson T100 (year 2002)
