Where’s the bag phone?? The carphone???
Sometimes my dad would bring that last one home from his job if he was going on a business trip. I remember on one or two occasions he also came home with a Lincoln Town Car that I think was a company vehicle mostly driven by the company president and it had a car phone in it.
Those were tougher than Nokia’s.
9, but my dad had a 4
Ouch I had a 4
12 but my dad had a 1!
look at this dude with rich parents here
Not my first phone but moved back to it after my first smartphone because it was so solid. The only negatives about it were the proprietary connector (normal at the time) and sms not having a rolling delete.
I used it for 9 years. When I finally changed it, everyone was already using smartphones for a while. I could navigate the menu and text entirely by touch, which was practical during classes :)
My first phone was #5
Mine was #6 it was a brick

Oh my, I recognise #5! My dad had one of those and I inherited it before I got the classic Nokia brick with Snake and Space Invaders (?).
Damn, are you me?
9
I had a toy version of number 1. My first was number 4 or a similar model, a hand-me-down from my dad when I started driving and he upgraded to number 5. We actually found number 4 while clearing out the house when moving my parents a couple years ago. Not sure why they still had it; it had been years since anyone used it when they moved in almost 20 years earlier.
#1 was my 3rd cell phone
