Mine was a good old Nokia 3310 Smiley Very Happy 

 

You drop an iPhone on the floor, the screen breaks. You drop a Nokia 3310 on the floor, the floor breaks!

 

Haha they were indestructible.

Mine was a Motorola Personal I bought in 1993, 10 number memory and no screen, it had a rechargeable battery and a pack for four AA batteries, the great thing was that I could change packs so quickly I never lost the call.

 

I had a twelve month contract with free calls all weekend, and I really had my money's worth out of that.

 

I worked out I had £1500 of calls in a year free. Smiley Very Happy

Cool topic. It needs pics though grin

Think mine was a 5110 as well on some random Dutch provider (which doesn't exist anymore). I remember my dad having one of those car phone monsters.

I still had it until a couple of years ago, wasn't using it though! Smiley LOL

 

I loved it because lots of people were still carrying those huge battery packs around in leather cases.

 

With the spare battery pack I could get two hours talk time out of it.
