Shock and water resistant, 2MP camera. The light is the best feature. They don't make this one anymore.

Now I just got the Droid which is my first phone of the 2010s, best phone I have ever laid my hands on and the first one I think is really on the iPhones level or better. And with the Verizon network you have reliable internet everywhere. The thing is built like a tank, it's a solid slab of metal.

Ugly screen, horrible interface, annoying touch pad.

Looks something like that. Better interface, colour LCD screen, flip-top. Horrible touch pad.

First cell phone in 2004: Nokia 3310.

http://dinofizz.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/nokia3310.jpg

Good solid rugged phone, but quickly became dated. (I still have it, used it for several months last summer after my RAZR bit the big one.)



Second phone, 2005: Samsung SGH-T209 (or similar)

http://z.about.com/d/cellphones/1/G/b/b/4/samsung-t209.jpg

Had this about 1 1/2 years, still worked fine but got scratched up really badly, plus I wanted a camera phone.



Third phone, 2007: Motorola V3 RAZR.

http://imagesa.ciao.com/iuk/images/products/normal/668/product-5767668.jpg

I liked this phone but ultimately it ended up being too fragile, I dropped it last summer and the screen crapped out on me. Since I was locked into a T-Mobile contract for several more months (and didn't want to renew it because I thought their service sucked), I had to resort to using my original Nokia which, by the summer of 2009, was such a fossil that it might as well have been made in 1964.



Fourth (and current) phone: Samsung Rogue.

http://www.bacclor.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Verizon-Samsung-Rogue-on-sale-2.jpg

After being stuck using my old Nokia for 5-6 months while waiting for my T-Mobile contract to expire, I switched over to Verizon (which is far superior) and got a Samsung Rogue.
I love this phone, and I can't help wonder what will replace it in the next few years.

My first phone was the Motorola paperweight on the left:

I had another Motorola phone after that (can't find a pic) and then the Nokia that everyone had:

After that one I had another Nokia variation when I moved to Phoenix.  A couple years later I switched to T-Mobile and had a Samsung flip phone similar to this:

Then I had a Motorola RAZR V2 and then switched to Verizon where I now have my LG enV3:

Here are the moblie phones I've owned over the years:


A Motorola Phone in 2000 (I can't remember its moldel number). I had it for Christmas when I was 13, even though I wanted a Nokia phone.
I've also had several Nokia phones (Again I can't remember all of their model numbers). One or two of them were damaged by moisture and one of them got stolen in 2005. I was eventually given a new one, but it died on me two years later and I had to recycle it.
My current mobile phone is a Nokia 6080. I bought it in 2007 to replace my 'dead' phone and it's the most sophisticated one I've had to date. It has a colour screen, a voice-recording function, a calendar, a camera and a radio along with other features. If I get an iPhone this year, I'll recycle theNokia 6080.
For my birthday this year, I want a 16GB iPhone 3GS on Orange. When the iPhone first came out in the UK, it was only available on O2 but now they're also available on Orange and Vodaphone. I have been an Orange customer since my very first phone.

Coincidentally, I seem to get LG phones. The last one had faulty programming in it so I got another LG mobile 6 months ago. As long as it does texting, calling and has a decent camera on it, I'm happy.

One phone everyone seems to want in America is the myTouch 3G Limited Edition Fender from T-Mobile.  They're still running commercials for it (with Eric Clapton), yet they are out of stock.  Marketing geniuses! lol

I remember a very early cell phone 2000 - 2001 ish, they were kind of inexpensive, really small but bulky looking it didn't have any features such as a camera, texting, music ect. And one had to use a pre-paid card to use it and add calling minutes to it. If someone remembers please post it.

The one I'm talking about could only be activated or used with a pre paid card and it didn't have the fancy features on it.
