My first phone was the Nokia 5110, then the 3210 & 3310. Think my favourite phone & I wore it out for about 2 years was the Samsung X460 flip phone

The Motorola StarTAC 130 was my first phone

The advertised 50 hours standby time was a bit optimistic, and I think I charged mine almost every day. I thought it was quite cool at the time, but looking back now, it really was quite rubbish. Mind you, I think they got that clamshell design just about right, when they finally introduced the RAZR.

I used to work in o2 stores when the iMode devices came out.

£35 a month used to get you like 100 mins and 100 texts or something daft like that.

When the 18 months contracts launched, we all said they would never work...

And our biggest selling device was the Samsung D500 or Sony K750i

Now the Sony Ericsson K750i was a decent phone, and its 2 megapixel camera was arguably the best at the time. Mind you, that shows how easily impressed we were with such modest advancements in technology (read this review). I know that there are some on here who hate Apple with a passion, but there’s no denying that the iPhone was the first smartphone that was worthy of the name, and we only had to wait a couple more years for it to arrive.

And yes tariffs were really expensive back then, and it’s interesting how we’ve arrived at a stage where there’s really not much profit to be made out of call allowances anymore. A lot of people nowadays would probably balk at paying a fiver for such a meagre allowance.

Not all of them, the XDA Zest was a rebadged Asus and rather awesome it was too. One of my favourite phones too. Still have it on my desk hiding in the "collection" of cables and collectables.

Though looking at that link, weren't phones far more interesting to look at then than they are now.

I think that’s probably why some of the retro designs are making a comeback, and I guess that a lot of people are also using them in an effort to wean themselves off smartphones, not to mention their addiction to social media.

I’ve had so many mobile phones over the years, but they seem to have reached a plateau in terms of releasing new technology, and nothing really excites me these days. Yesterday, my local garage relieved me of nearly £600 for a service and an MOT, which was quite depressing for a moment, until I reflected on the fact that that’s the kind of money that I happily spend on a new smartphone

The Sony Ericsson K750i was almost like a smartphone as it was the first colour phone I owned & you could get some decent looking themes for it. I remember having a pretty cool at the time Diet Coke one
