I got it sometime in 2004. Back then it was just becoming standard for kids my age to have cell phones.

Somewhere I actually have a picture of it... That is if it still exists. lol

Though I remember my model being more of a dark grey than that weird blue. I got it sometime in early 2005 and I kept it for two years.

Oddly enough I can remember my entire history of phones since I had very few until smartphones asserted their dominance in the market.

For about a year, I had a weird sprint flip phone that my sister had had before me. However, it didn't work a lot of the time. I also can't seem to find a picture of it. But then, I got an upgrade:


Granted, not this exact model, but it was an LG much like this
And this was the coolest freakin thing. I was like "OH MY GOODNESS. IT HAS A KEYBOARD. AND IT SLIIIIIIDES." And thats the phone I used until only a few years ago, when I finally upgraded to an iPhone.

Siemens C65. 10 year old me picked it because it was a pleasing shade of blue.

Was it ever cool to wear your phone around your neck? No? Just me?
I mean, it was 2005 and I was a kid with a phone, I just wanted to be like "hey look at me I have a cellphone" all the time.

I most likely remember to owned this phone before and I'm not sure what really happen to it. There is never such thing as Android or iOS on earliest 2000

Ah... good old times with Nokia 3100. I still remember the time when I saw the phone's light blinking along with the tune of the stock ringtone musics, when it glows in the dark, and I do remember I used to bought a separate camera to comply with it, too.

I got my first cellular device when I was 11 years old, and that was so that I could call my mom to let me know to pick me up from the bus stop. :P



Ahh the memories of the Motorola C139. I hated this phone as well because it would be in my pocket and sometimes it would turn on in the middle of class because I leaned up against the edge of my seat. :|

I had and used this until Friday...



Like you can see, I couldn't make calls to any random phones. It had those two buttons to specifically call my mom and my dad, and it could store I think 20 additional phone numbers. I had my brothers as contacts, whom I would call frequently when my parents couldn't pick me up from school. I also had a few close friends and their parents registered, but my dad was in charge of adding those phone numbers. I also couldn't receive calls from phones unless they were "allowed" to call me. My dad gave me that thing when I was like 8 because he considered it an "evil need".

I turned 13 yesterday and received my first (confusing) smartphone. I'm glad I don't have to use that thing anymore ^-^.

I was told the image in my sig was made by Ichinose Kanade ^-^

I know a few kids that had those when I was in Elementary school and I was never sure how they worked. But nowadays, kids are just handed the newest phones and honestly I don't know when I'd want to give my kid a phone nor what kind of phone I'd want to get them. I don't want to get something expensive in case they break or lose it, but I still want them to be able to use it with their friends. And with me being me, I'd definitely put some security stuff on it to make sure that my kids are only sending and receiving appropriate content with it.

Also, happy belated birthday and welcome to PC!
My dad's work is directly related to software and security and he can be over protective at times hahaha. But actually a few months ago he decided to trust me and decided to give me the PIN (you needed a PIN to add more phone numbers to this phone) to add my own numbers "until I saved enough to buy my own smartphone" (I actually didn't mind that silly phone as it did everything I needed (except for texting) and I'm saving for something else, but I was surprised when he gave me the phone on my birthday nonetheless ^-^). I still couldn't text my friends but I was able to add a few of them to call them.

I think smartphones have parental controls, but it makes me happy my dad decided to trust me and not enable them ^-^. I'm mostly interested in journal apps so I won't be betraying his trust.

And thank you very much for the welcome and congratulations ^-^!

Crazy good phone for a teenager who recently discovered quality music. Walkman phones had premium sound output, even if the camera's sucked. Phone had cool ergonomics, and the rubbery bits outside were fun to touch. Aesthetics are a bit tacky, but phones had attitude and identity back then, which was always why new phones were fun to look out for. Only HTC still has that touch, but it's just dual tone monoliths instead of one tone. Also had some of my first romantic breakdowns on this, great thing I don't have any of those old texts. man I miss SE and the Walkman line. Bought one of those for collectors purposes a couple of years ago, just cause I love them.
