As a late teen, I never have used a cell phone in my life except from a friend or a parent. Then at the age of 17, I finally earned my first cell phone ever used called the Samsung Stratosphere. It's a perfect phone for me to contact all my friends, getting on the Internet, & playing downloadable games. What do you guys think?

My first cell phone was a 3210 model by Nokia. I studied College away from home so that was my communication to my family. By then, not all of my friends have mobile phone so I don't spend a lot of time texting.

I had my first cellphone either in 1996 or 1997. The brand is Ericsson. And this brand is not available any more. At that time the cellphone was very expensive. And the cellphone features can't compare to today's cellphones. Actually at that time I seldom used my cellphone since I didn't want to be so special because fewer people owned a cellphone. I love China

Well my first ever cellphone was a Philips phone. I forgot the model already. It was long ago. It was during those times that one has to get a post paid line to acquire a cellphone since there were no prepaid then. Nokia phones at that time were just starting out and there was not much heard about samsung. I was able to acquire the phone when I started working already. So I saved enough money to get the phone with the line and have to submit a proof of income and all those other requirements. It was really a hassle but it was indeed very satisfying.

I had my first cellphone when im 15, only on high school, it was a Nokia 3210, it was very expensive when my mom brought it, and changed it a year later because it was one of the old cellphones we had.

I also had my 1st cellphone at the age of 16. It was a gift from my parents on my high school graduation. It was a 3220 model from Nokia. It has flashing lights at the sides of the phone. It has the basic features and as far as I can remember, it also has internet connection. But I rarely use the internet that time. :)
