Mine was a Bosch (can't remember the model number/name). I got it in 1995.

I feel REALLY old.

I had the bigger version of the motorola brick in 1992. The utterly indestructable 8500x.

Mine was run over by a bus after I left it on the car roof lol.

20p per min to any number.

Nokia 5110 on Orange with a Purple Ronnie cover on it! Think I got it for my 12th birthday, so it will have been year 2000. I had an Alcatel soon after that with a massive aerial that I snapped off when I sat on it in my back pocket=/

HTC One X since 31/08/12

One summer holiday, when I was about 7 years old, me and my best friend Phil used 2 empty tins of Ambrosia creamed rice and a piece of string to communicate between our shed and the tree house at the bottom of our garden.......does that count ?

pre mobile phones I used to use amateur radio equipment I even had a hand held that allowd transmission on one band and reception on another band 2m/70cm so you could have real 2 way calls. How tech evolved I even had a small box that connected me to an early form of mobile data called packet Radio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_radio .

Only counts if there's photographic evidence!

The pinhole in the end of the tin of Ambrosia was used to capture the moment but unfortunately over time the sepia print has faded to a washed out pink colour !
