I got my first one in around 2005, it was an old Trac-Fone phone but I cannot remember for the life of me what it looked like. I might still have it somewhere in the house but god knows where.

Samsung Katalyst. I never like the "slide-open" design. You had to slide it open to answer calls. I would always accidentally hang up whenever I move the phone toward my face. My cheek would close it, and the person who called me would get really pissed off.

I think it was the Samsung SGH-500, in 1998:

My mother used that phone until 2005 when they cut off service to the damn thing.

Motorola Startac (2000). I remember I picked this because it had "internet". Little did I know that it was next to useless!

Nokia 2160, circa 1996. It's somewhere in my parents' garage.



Not my actual phone, but this is the only pic I could find that has the extended battery on it that I had.
