Of course the first one is in the best condition. I swear those things were made out of a mithril / adamantium alloy.
That Bounce game on the 3200 was a phenomenal time killer on the bus
That Motorola looks like my 1st phone, 1998.
I couldn’t find a way to input the contract phone number into an SMS so you had to remember the phone number to send an SMS.
This and my old Nokia 8310 (one of my favourites, a proper mobile phone).
The Nokia on the right was my first phone when I was 12. It was between that and a Sagem
Jeez the XDA
The Nokia esp is a classic. They were indestructible. From memory they were 2G. I used to do work for mobile teleco’s & lots of the staff used them, as back then the new(ish) 3G network could get over-congested at times, whereas the 2G network had little traffic. The 2G network was available for quite a while after the telco’s had stopped selling 2G phones.
Loved the 3210. My first phone and I remember buying it, there were some for £69, £79 but that was premium at £99. I went for it and never regretted it, it was so much nicer than the others. I still lovingly look down into my junk drawer at it sometimes. The new magic of text messaging! Beepbeepbeep beep-beep beepbeepbeep!
Some nostalgia there I can smell those Motorola buttons
If you are binning them, I would pay for these to show transition year students!
The very first person who dropped a Nokia 3310 made a ground breaking discovery..
That XDA was a fantastic phone little bit ahead of its time as well
Haven’t finished rummaging through boxes so there could be more nostalgia up there.
I remember when the 3210 was first released I thought it was the sleekest looking device ever. I was afraid to take it from my pocket for fear of dropping it
The only one I didn’t own is the XDA.
The Motorola was my first mobile phone. I thought I was the bees knees with the extendable aerial.
Spring of ’99?
Mad the variety that phones used to come in! Now every phone looks the exact same.
The last one on the right was a very cool one. The hours I would lose to these lil dudes making ringtones.
Had both Nokias. Remember being blown away that a phone had a 2 megapixel camera. Made unrecognisable shadows that bit clearer.
Somewhat off topic, but [Nokia: The Deep Fall of an Industry Giant | The Rise and Fall of Nokia Mobile](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1t15PNb468) is a great watch. It’s about an hour and a half long, and subtitled, but very good.
I’d kill play bounce on the Nokia on the right again.

These would make for some lovely burner phones

Have the case picture cutter too!
Memories – Loved when you could make your own phone covers!
Was cleaning out some storage closets for stuff to put in the attic earlier this week, myself, and found a couple of old mobiles, as well.
