What was your 1st mobile phone?

When did u buy and how much did u pay for it?

I had my first mobile phone in 1996, it was a great Ericsson 688 with its double paragrahs :)

I paid unfortunately DM 900 (approx €500) to buy it, too much money for today.

I still keep it, I hope it would be valuable as an antique after 40-50 years.

    My first cell phone was a nokia trac phone. I don't remember the style of it. I know that it wasn't real big and it wasn't a flip phone. I paid $30.00 for it.

    I got it in 1999

    My first phone was from about 1990 or so. It was a motorola and it was about the size of your desk phone. It mounted to the floorboard of your car and connected to a large box in the trunk (about 12 in square and 3 inches thick). Then came a motorola bag phone about the size of a ladies purse. Then came a motorola flip phone that was grey color but had a huge battery. Hard to fit in a pocket. Today I have a Motorola Rokr and it's great. The Rokr is my 7th phone.
