Yeah, I had a VF Sharp GX10. Camera phones definitely were a novelty back then.
Got one for my 21st, really good phones
My father had one back in the day and we met Derek Mooney in a shopping center who was all about it asking him what the crack was with it and how did it work
Here’s my first phone. Motorola V550. Still keep it in my drawer.
Never had a flip phone, only the old buttons-under-screen feature phone. Still have my first one.
I really do like the aesthetic of early mobiles though. And the ones you could change the covers on were great. Smartphones of today are bland looking in comparison. I wonder will people have the same nostalgia looking back on them in 15, 20 years?
Had one of those, the Sharp one from the ad with the Dandy Warhols song. ‘Vodafone Live’ WAP that charged extortionate amounts of credit for miniscule data use!
I had one of these. I think it was the first with polyphonic ringtones. It used to startle the upper deck of dublin bus when it started ringing.
Yep. I used to live that space invaders kind of game.
I bet the battery is about 80%?
Remember getting that the day of leaving cert results. Jesus I feel old 
A bit of Shnake was a good time waster back in the day.
My teacher in 5th class had this phone. She used to play songs on it from time to time (she was a ‘cool’ teacher). One time she left it unattended and some kid picked it up to go find the music. Ended up finding her nudes and showing the whole class.

What an awakening for an 11 year old.
