I remember my first cell phone, it was when I was a sophmore in high school. It was a nokia but I don't remember what model it was. It was one of the popular bar phones without a color screen. The reason I had picked the phone was that it was one of my favorites and plus a phone that had snake was worth having and using. Having a phone meant freedom and what a cool way to show your friends what kind of phone you have by having someone ring you.

I got my second phone purely because it had snake on it! It was all the range at the time, and I turned down a couple of 'better' models, purely because they didn't have snake on them! It was a 3310, and most of the people I hung around with had that phone at the time. It does seem to be literally the most popular phone of all time!

I was around 14 and it was a Nokia. I dont know the model number, all I remember is that it looked like a cordless house phone.

I got my first cell phone only when I was 28. I got a Nokia 1100, which is a very basic model. As there was no land line, and as I had to keep in touch with my mom and my kids' peadiatrician, my husband got this mobile for me.

I was a Frosh in High School. That was in 1996. I think I had a Motortac or a Mototac. I can't remember the exact name of the unit, but it was this black phone, that was almost huge. If I remember it right, Mobile Phones weren't a necessity then. My mom was just paranoid and she really insisted that I have a phone with me. I only used it to call home whenever the driver was late in picking me up. My friends also used it to call their houses for the same reason that I had.
