Headline : Worlds first Smartphone celebrates 20 years.

My thoughts :
C'mon guys and gals what was your first mobile phone you owned... can some of you remember that far back >

My first mobile was this one, before that I had a BT Charge Card.
Barclaycard BC2 by Alcatel on BT Cellnet which took a full size SIM
(Credit card sized)
My first Smartphone was the XDA Orbit
It was bundled with Copilot Sat-Nav and I already had many
Programs from my Toshiba PDA that ran on it.
(They weren't calls apps yet :smileywink:)
