Lmao. That was my first cell phone when I was 16, and I just liked the color mainly. The fact that it lit up blue inside was a nice surprise. At the time I had no idea they were so sought after or even terribly fashionable. I guess I have good taste though, haha 😅💝
I'm actually considering replacing my phone with the new RAZR 40 Ultra because I used to have the RAZR V3.
It was nice having that tiny screen on the outside. The new one has good reviews but my current phone is only 4 years old and still works fine so I'm still on the fence about it.
I’m a last minute millennial and my first phone was a Razr, hot pink. I made my mom switch silver with me because I was NOT like other girls and didn’t like pink lol
This was the ONLY cellphone. Makes calls, plays snake and was indestructible. Threw mine out a window at a party, in a rain storm. Woke up in the morning, found it, plugged it in and was back in business…. Text messages were 10 cents.
Had a few Nokias and those bricks were indestructible lol. First one had the green screen with only black text and of course snake! Remember how we used to hit 321456123687 buttons to type a sentence before t9 and word came out? I can still type hella fast like that lol
Insane. The Nokia brick phone was probably what most of us had first. I know it was pushed hard in family plans. My mom had that top left Nokia phone for work which lead us to getting the brick.
That Samsung in the lower middle was my first cell phone ever in 2005 at age 15. Not a lot of kids my age had them back then, but I had to go visit my dad on the other side of the country and my mom didn't trust him not to kidnap me. I still have it and can read the dumb things I had to think/say as a 17/18 year old, lol. I played Pac-Man on it more than anything.
oh...mr rich kid here (j/k). i remember late 90's pagers were the rage in hs. Few kids had cells, majority had pagers...like who the hell gonna b paging u, all ur friends r in school. I think i had an apollo.
Correct! The first one, upper left, I got in 1994. I don’t know anyone my age who had a cell phone before I did. This was 7th grade and I got it because it came free with my dad’s. My parents were sick of giving me quarters for the pay phone.
Same, I also remember it was the one that all the mall stands had accessories for. I replaced the front and back panels with see-through blue versions that lit up when my phone rang.
Me too. I loved the fact it flashed different colours. I got mine on a family holiday when I was 16. I was so happy that I could finally stop using the family Nokia lol.
Yes, the one on the top left actually predates even the oldest Millennials with respect to cell phone culture at the time. Parent used top left as work phone but did not have personal celI. I got the Nokia brick in 2001, and only bc Sept. 11 happened.
My two phones through high school (class of '07):
https://preview.redd.it/fexe4r8ax88d1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d7be861da7597359cbede3cf897fdf51eb84583
My first cell was a Motorola TeleTAC 250. It sucked, lol. You'd drive under an overpass and the conversation would just turn to static and drop the call. It barely worked indoors.
Late 90s I had a Nokia 3210 on Cingular like everyone else, then later switched over to a Siemens A56 and A70 which I loved because they were small and I used WAP on them.
One thing I really miss is the Nextel PTT era.. you'd go to the mall and you could get like 100 accessories for any model. You'd drive down the road at night and see people using them with the LED strobing disco antennas, light up battery packs, glow faceplates, LED keypads, and all sorts of crazy stuff haha. My buddy's phone would almost give you a seizure if you were next to him while he was talking on it.
At some point I had a Razr and loved it, but I broke a few of them in my pocket due to the super thin/fragile frame.
After that, I moved to Compaq PocketPC phones and Windows Mobile phones (Kaiser/Tilt).
First Android phone was a HTC Incredible.. loved it. Stayed on Android ever since (Clockwork/Cyanogen mod ftw), and I've come full circle to using a 2023 Razr now haha.
The Samsung in the middle of the bottom row had this game I used to play all the time. It was a bunch of objects moving around and you had to make a square without one of them crossing the line.
Or millennials who had more money is my guess. Lower right was the only one I recognize but my family had an old bag phone until they stopped being repairable.
The middle bottom row that was my exact first phone. I got it when I was 19 or 20 on my very own with Sprint. I remember one day at work I bumped against the corner of a metal table and I cracked the front display on it. It still worked but I was so mad at myself. 🤣 I loved my next phone, it was an LG that had the slide out keyboard. I miss real keyboards.
My friend paid for prepaid service just because he wanted a startac lol... My most memorable phones back then were the Motorola V60 and razr. Long live the flip phone!
That grey Samsung was my... 2nd? Cellphone. The Motorola left side bottom row was basically my first one.
Then 3rd was a Sidekick, which I held onto until the... pixi? Something like that, which was like '06 or '07.
That one was basically my first iteration of a smartphone, but only just barely.
Does anyone else miss tactile buttons on phones?
I miss the qwerty keyboard phones from back in the day.
I still have never truly enjoyed the touchscreen keyboard experience. I'd be willing to carry around a much thicker phone if it came with true buttons.
I bought this pink flip phone from Samsung in 2006. It has a colour screen which was very thrilling. It lasted until 2013 which is when I caved and bought my first smartphone. I was 26...
I definitely had that silver Audiovox on the top right.
Edit: and the first, middle, and last ones on the bottom row. The first one on the bottom row is missing the colored silicone skins you could buy for it.
Top left was my first, top right was my second, bottom middle was my third. My fourth was a pink Motorola Razr, and OMG I thought I was so cool for owning that thing.
I remember when I got an LG Envy and I thought I was coolest kid ever, then I got the touch screen voyager and oh boy was I ballin. I always wanted a Sidekick but never had one
Bottom middle. First one I got I think.
Top left is first one I remember my Mom having. She was a big time business lady, it was pretty cool. She’d let me call home to ask Dad what he wanted us to pick up for dinner and he’d yell at me saying I didn’t understand how expensive this phone call we were having was.
Woo wee good times.
This must be American biased.
My first was a Siemens specifically the C35. That mobile had poor battery life. The next was a Nokia 3310 and then after that was Motorola flip phone. My Nokia got stolen and I got a 3 phone which I cannot remember the brand. After that ... A couple of Nokias leading to Blackberry then HTCs and lastly Xiaomi phones.
I wish I could find an image on the web for a tiny square, light blue pager/beeper with paw prints on it & a keychain attached that I had when I was like 12. 😭
I had that Motorola 710, which is next to the LG flip phone, in 2004, that was the first really high-tech flip phone. Color screens, mp3 ringtones, 1MP camera, internet, expandable memory with microSD(called transflash at the time) slot. You could even tether with it connected via USB, and when it was connected through USB you could use the computer to type text and email and send it through the phone…Other brands didn’t offer that until the 2010s.
Top row and the first two in the second row are the early cell phones our parents had. It’s skipping the whole Nokia brick era between that one with the fat antenna and that silver flip phone there. Then it’s missing the sidekicks, Razr, Chocolates and blackberries!
Not really… if Millennials had a meme phone it would have been the Razr or Nokia brick and an iPod for music. My first smartphone was actually a DroidX in 2008…
Nothing beats the StarTac. I loved that phone. Nokia was good, too, but that was mostly for Snake. Honorable mention the i95cl Nextel with the colored screen.
When everyone and their pet dog had a Motorola RAZR, I was different and got the SLVR (candy bar form factor). Now just about all phones (except the crazier folding ones) are candy bar form factor.
I gad that V-dot Motorola (lower far-left) in High School! I remember that it’s big feature was a built in FM radio, so I could listen to music in class.
Motorola V710! 2nd from bottom right. Got
blacked out in college and woke up with it in pieces. Had it for a total of 3 weeks. $400 down the drain, no insurance.
Born '90 here. No way 1 and 2 weren't your mom/dad's. If they were yours, I am sorry, but you are old enough to be gen x or boomer, because you wouldn't be old enough to afford it, and your parents wouldn't be wealthy enough to buy each member of the family their own cell in those first gens represented here (late 90s). You'd still have been a child, and the infrastructure that supposes a need for mobile communication hadn't been established as a ubiquitous mode of communication at that point. More than anything I would say this is gen x or boomer cell phones.
Millennials started with that good ole Nokia brick
Eta I started on 7 from top left to bottom right. My older cousins started with 6
My first one was this bad boy. Not bulletproof like its predecessors, but it was a phone.
https://preview.redd.it/eltd8apyg78d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b983bec84a7cf10aa92dac05303e1e915bc5f72a
My first phone was that Audiovox in the upper right corner. I can’t remember the last time I saw that model, as it almost never shows up in these threads.
https://preview.redd.it/xxs82gxkk78d1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccb16746d8db53ce18db481a2152d6f07d7f3420
Ok so it’s not a real cell phone.

RAZR, sidekick, blackberry?
You were cool shit having the RAZR back in the day
To me, the RAZR was like having the latest iPhone. Only the more wealthy kids had them. At least when the RAZR first was released.
If you had a hot pink razr with custom ringtones? You were ThatBitch™️
I was that bitch! I loved that thing.
Lmao. That was my first cell phone when I was 16, and I just liked the color mainly. The fact that it lit up blue inside was a nice surprise. At the time I had no idea they were so sought after or even terribly fashionable. I guess I have good taste though, haha 😅💝
I had the pale pink with custom ringtones and I was so proud of it 😂🩷
Believe it or not my grandmother maybe got rid of her RAZR like 8 years ago. Best phones ever. We pranked her with her ringtone so many times.
I'm actually considering replacing my phone with the new RAZR 40 Ultra because I used to have the RAZR V3. It was nice having that tiny screen on the outside. The new one has good reviews but my current phone is only 4 years old and still works fine so I'm still on the fence about it.
These plus a nokia are the three phones I ran with until I was like 20. I don't even know if I've ever seen the mess in the picture
Also missing a pager.
The krazr is my favorite phone I’ve ever had
I’m a last minute millennial and my first phone was a Razr, hot pink. I made my mom switch silver with me because I was NOT like other girls and didn’t like pink lol
Nokia….? Can’t be leaving out the greatest phone game ever!
Seriously, where's that Nokia 3310??
I am astounded it's not there. Astounded.
I can’t believe OP never had the 3310. That was *the* cell phone.
Also the 6120 before that.... I had angry teenage years and toss those phones around so much. Never break never even a scratch.
This was the ONLY cellphone. Makes calls, plays snake and was indestructible. Threw mine out a window at a party, in a rain storm. Woke up in the morning, found it, plugged it in and was back in business…. Text messages were 10 cents.
Wherever it is, you know that battery still has a charge.
I swear at some point in 2074 someone's gonna find grandpas weird old phone in a drawer and it'll still be at least 15% charged
And one of those full shell faceplates you bought at the mall.
I was poor so I painted mine with nail polish
Same, bro
I still have my Nokia and it still works as long as I put a SIM card in. Battery is good for a day and a half. It’s 20 years old now.
The Lord of all mobile phones. Ridiculous it's not there. Put this thread in the bin.
That was it! I couldnt remember the model number thank you for this lol
It's still being used.
The 2160 was my first cell phone.
Same!
Or the Nokia 3315? That was a great first phone for me.
I'm partial to the 5190
Snake. We all played it. What kinda millennial posted this.
Missing the brick and the RAZR.
Didn’t have the Nokia 3310! This selection is what I stumbled upon on my attic today. For sure these are not all of the millennial age.
Had a few Nokias and those bricks were indestructible lol. First one had the green screen with only black text and of course snake! Remember how we used to hit 321456123687 buttons to type a sentence before t9 and word came out? I can still type hella fast like that lol
Fuck this post, no Nokia no life.
SERIOUSLY! With the interchangeable faceplates!
This is all I could think about. Where my snake machine?
Insane. The Nokia brick phone was probably what most of us had first. I know it was pushed hard in family plans. My mom had that top left Nokia phone for work which lead us to getting the brick.
5165 to 3310 to RAZR to some Samsung before android to iPhone
missing LG Chocolate with the slide action.
That phone was the shit for a bit, my friend got one for Xmas. I had a razr so I was alright.
At 19/20 years old got the LG shine ✨
Lauren conrad and Brody Jenner got us all to buy the LG Shine for $49.99 lol
It was advertised as an mp3 player when closed but mine was always so god damn laggy when playing music n stuff lol
I had the red Chocolate. I actually found it randomly in a box a few years ago, not sure what happened to it…
Omg I loved that thing
That Samsung and the Razr.
That Samsung in the lower middle was my first cell phone ever in 2005 at age 15. Not a lot of kids my age had them back then, but I had to go visit my dad on the other side of the country and my mom didn't trust him not to kidnap me.

I had this one in dark blue
I had this one but it was pink

It looks similar to Nokia but isn’t.
RIP Cingular
Wow I haven’t thought about this phone in awhile. Orange screen, expensive downloaded ringtones I got in trouble for… those were the days lol
Some of those are a bit too early for Millennials and are really more Xennial.
Xennial here, yup! Had top left in 1998 during HS (born in 84).
oh...mr rich kid here (j/k). i remember late 90's pagers were the rage in hs. Few kids had cells, majority had pagers...like who the hell gonna b paging u, all ur friends r in school. I think i had an apollo.
Correct! The first one, upper left, I got in 1994. I don’t know anyone my age who had a cell phone before I did. This was 7th grade and I got it because it came free with my dad’s. My parents were sick of giving me quarters for the pay phone.
Middle, bottom row was my first cell phone, I got it from Cingular Wireless.
Same!
That was my first as well. My second was the LG EnV
Wow, haven't heard that company name in a long time! Weird how we tend to not notice when popular companies dissapear into the ether
Same, I also remember it was the one that all the mall stands had accessories for. I replaced the front and back panels with see-through blue versions that lit up when my phone rang.
Samsung flip phone
Yep. My first phone.
Me too. I loved the fact it flashed different colours. I got mine on a family holiday when I was 16. I was so happy that I could finally stop using the family Nokia lol.
Omg I forgot about cell phone antennas!!
I remember the antenna was wobbly as shit. Great fidget toy though.
None of these. Where is the Nokia brick?
My dad had that first one…
Yes, the one on the top left actually predates even the oldest Millennials with respect to cell phone culture at the time. Parent used top left as work phone but did not have personal celI. I got the Nokia brick in 2001, and only bc Sept. 11 happened.
Motorola Startac and Motorola Razr
I loved my Startac so much.
Where’s the little blue and silver Nokia?? That was my first phone.
Only missing the razr….. but damn, I’ve owned and used more than 1/2 of these
This is a boomer who stayed on top of shit.
Bottom middle is a Samsung A650. First phone I ever had.
That Samsung flip phone was my ride or die in college.
I had an NexTel walkie talkie.
My two phones through high school (class of '07): https://preview.redd.it/fexe4r8ax88d1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d7be861da7597359cbede3cf897fdf51eb84583
Do you know the model of the nokia?
Nokia 6010, I believe
No Nokia 3310?!?!
The one and only [T39m](https://teezeh.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ericsson-t39m.jpg). I still have it.
My first one ever was a Kyocera that didn’t look too dissimilar to the top right one
# 🎶I gots to get better man, it gots to move on🎶 # 🎶Switched from Motorola to a PrimeCo phone🎶
🎶Wanna be a baller 🎶
That bottom middle Samsung was ELITE
https://preview.redd.it/kovflrjb678d1.jpeg?width=3468&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e9f14cf448791b1efac6960e30164df6983f0d4
Got my first cell phone in 1998 as a junior in high school. It was the second one from the left, top row. 🙃
My first cell was a Motorola TeleTAC 250. It sucked, lol. You'd drive under an overpass and the conversation would just turn to static and drop the call. It barely worked indoors. Late 90s I had a Nokia 3210 on Cingular like everyone else, then later switched over to a Siemens A56 and A70 which I loved because they were small and I used WAP on them. One thing I really miss is the Nextel PTT era.. you'd go to the mall and you could get like 100 accessories for any model. You'd drive down the road at night and see people using them with the LED strobing disco antennas, light up battery packs, glow faceplates, LED keypads, and all sorts of crazy stuff haha. My buddy's phone would almost give you a seizure if you were next to him while he was talking on it. At some point I had a Razr and loved it, but I broke a few of them in my pocket due to the super thin/fragile frame. After that, I moved to Compaq PocketPC phones and Windows Mobile phones (Kaiser/Tilt). First Android phone was a HTC Incredible.. loved it. Stayed on Android ever since (Clockwork/Cyanogen mod ftw), and I've come full circle to using a 2023 Razr now haha.
The Nextell PTT in Highschool micro-generation was the best time to be alive.
Fake news I don’t see a pink Razr
Nextel for life!!
Audiovox -> Samsung -> lg
Had that Samsung middle left after I lost my Verizon env haha
The Samsung in the middle of the bottom row had this game I used to play all the time. It was a bunch of objects moving around and you had to make a square without one of them crossing the line.
Out of these phones? None of them.
Those are more gen x right?
The top left ones maybe, but I had the bottom center one or one exactly like it in college around 2004-05.
Or millennials who had more money is my guess. Lower right was the only one I recognize but my family had an old bag phone until they stopped being repairable.
The middle bottom row that was my exact first phone. I got it when I was 19 or 20 on my very own with Sprint. I remember one day at work I bumped against the corner of a metal table and I cracked the front display on it. It still worked but I was so mad at myself. 🤣 I loved my next phone, it was an LG that had the slide out keyboard. I miss real keyboards.
Bottom left was my first phone. Also had bottom right.
My friend paid for prepaid service just because he wanted a startac lol... My most memorable phones back then were the Motorola V60 and razr. Long live the flip phone!
That grey Samsung was my... 2nd? Cellphone. The Motorola left side bottom row was basically my first one. Then 3rd was a Sidekick, which I held onto until the... pixi? Something like that, which was like '06 or '07. That one was basically my first iteration of a smartphone, but only just barely.
Does anyone else miss tactile buttons on phones? I miss the qwerty keyboard phones from back in the day. I still have never truly enjoyed the touchscreen keyboard experience. I'd be willing to carry around a much thicker phone if it came with true buttons.
I bought this pink flip phone from Samsung in 2006. It has a colour screen which was very thrilling. It lasted until 2013 which is when I caved and bought my first smartphone. I was 26...
Where’s the RAZR
I don’t see an LG Shine anywhere
That LG in the corner was MY LIFE.
I definitely had that silver Audiovox on the top right. Edit: and the first, middle, and last ones on the bottom row. The first one on the bottom row is missing the colored silicone skins you could buy for it.
Top left was my first, top right was my second, bottom middle was my third. My fourth was a pink Motorola Razr, and OMG I thought I was so cool for owning that thing.
First was that Motorola Star Tac. Second was that middle Samsung flip phone.
A Nokia flip phone that looks like that last LG one. Probably why I have a Z Flip now.
I started with the bottom-middle!
That Qualcomm was my very first cellular in 2000
Bottom left was first for me. Loved it. Miss it.
I remember when I got an LG Envy and I thought I was coolest kid ever, then I got the touch screen voyager and oh boy was I ballin. I always wanted a Sidekick but never had one
No dynatac?
My very first was similar to the bottom center haha
Motorola Razr?
Bottom middle. First one I got I think. Top left is first one I remember my Mom having. She was a big time business lady, it was pretty cool. She’d let me call home to ask Dad what he wanted us to pick up for dinner and he’d yell at me saying I didn’t understand how expensive this phone call we were having was. Woo wee good times.
So I wasn't old enough to have all these cell phones, but I am old enough to recognize every single one lol.
I had the Motorola Star Tac first. Then Nokia. Best phone ever. Then the Motorola Sliver. That thing had iTunes capabilities!
When I got my first cell phone it was through Cingular lmao
Nope. Missing my Nokia that I left in the hot car during cheer practice and the housing cracked when I flipped it open.
This must be American biased. My first was a Siemens specifically the C35. That mobile had poor battery life. The next was a Nokia 3310 and then after that was Motorola flip phone. My Nokia got stolen and I got a 3 phone which I cannot remember the brand. After that ... A couple of Nokias leading to Blackberry then HTCs and lastly Xiaomi phones.
Bottom middle
I had that last one on the bottom right
I wish I could find an image on the web for a tiny square, light blue pager/beeper with paw prints on it & a keychain attached that I had when I was like 12. 😭
Anyone else have a beeper?
I had that Motorola 710, which is next to the LG flip phone, in 2004, that was the first really high-tech flip phone. Color screens, mp3 ringtones, 1MP camera, internet, expandable memory with microSD(called transflash at the time) slot. You could even tether with it connected via USB, and when it was connected through USB you could use the computer to type text and email and send it through the phone…Other brands didn’t offer that until the 2010s.
These are like xillennial i remember them but also the next gen
Where is my nextel rubber brick that push to talk was free??
Where is my baby blue razor ?!
The bottom right one was the last non-smart phone I had. Before that I had a Nokia brick that's not pictured here.
Needs that Nokia blue one. 98 something
So many memories came back seeing the Samsung flip.
Philips Savvy! Or Nokia 3210 if you weren't cool enough to have a Nokia 3310 with snake 2 on it
Where Sidekick? Hands down greatest millennial phone of all time
I had #9.
as a young millenial, damn y’all are old for including that huge block on the top left lol
Don’t see the Nokia 8210
Top row and the first two in the second row are the early cell phones our parents had. It’s skipping the whole Nokia brick era between that one with the fat antenna and that silver flip phone there. Then it’s missing the sidekicks, Razr, Chocolates and blackberries!
As a younger millennial I don’t remember any of these except a couple flip ones.
from 2000.
I don't see my beloved Helio phone pictured.
My first cell phone ever was the bottom middle row Samsung. I also had the bottom right Verizon, think it might have been my second
Had at least three of these. Also an LG chocolate! And a candybar made by sagem that was honestly pretty badass, even had an IR blaster.
I have the Samsung in the lower middle, and I could add a few more to your collection.
Silver flip phone was my first cell phone - 10th grade! Whoo!
Everyone here spelling a word in their mind and figuring out how many clicks per letter.
LOVED that Samsung, bottom middle!
Nokia 1100??? The OG snake game? Or am I too old of a millennial?
No nokia no razr, what is this?
These look like cel phones that existed when I was in high school and college. I may or may not have had one or more. I have no idea.
Top left was my first phone in 1998. Our family owned ONE and whoever needed it the most was the one who got it for the day.
Where are the Nokias? All my phones were Nokia till I got my first touch screen phone.
Lol I saw an actual real brick cell phone 80s style in a Corvette today Was looking for the dude with the mullet
Not really… if Millennials had a meme phone it would have been the Razr or Nokia brick and an iPod for music. My first smartphone was actually a DroidX in 2008…
Nextel
I totally had the LG on the bottom right. My boss had the Samsung and I thought it was so much cooler. lol.
Your missing a Motorola Razor
Nothing beats the StarTac. I loved that phone. Nokia was good, too, but that was mostly for Snake. Honorable mention the i95cl Nextel with the colored screen.
When everyone and their pet dog had a Motorola RAZR, I was different and got the SLVR (candy bar form factor). Now just about all phones (except the crazier folding ones) are candy bar form factor.

I’m an elder millennial and I had two of those phones.
That Motorola Razr was perfect.
Star tac was my first. Used to love those Nextel 2way deals.
At least two of those aren’t cell phone but handsets for cordless phones. Umm…not that I know from experience…
I had the sidekick great phone for it's time.
I gad that V-dot Motorola (lower far-left) in High School! I remember that it’s big feature was a built in FM radio, so I could listen to music in class.
Those were the days
Anyone remember the Kyocera Slider?
Motorola V710! 2nd from bottom right. Got blacked out in college and woke up with it in pieces. Had it for a total of 3 weeks. $400 down the drain, no insurance.
Sidekick!!!
Born '90 here. No way 1 and 2 weren't your mom/dad's. If they were yours, I am sorry, but you are old enough to be gen x or boomer, because you wouldn't be old enough to afford it, and your parents wouldn't be wealthy enough to buy each member of the family their own cell in those first gens represented here (late 90s). You'd still have been a child, and the infrastructure that supposes a need for mobile communication hadn't been established as a ubiquitous mode of communication at that point. More than anything I would say this is gen x or boomer cell phones. Millennials started with that good ole Nokia brick Eta I started on 7 from top left to bottom right. My older cousins started with 6
I miss these honestly.
My first one was this bad boy. Not bulletproof like its predecessors, but it was a phone. https://preview.redd.it/eltd8apyg78d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b983bec84a7cf10aa92dac05303e1e915bc5f72a
I loved my Samsung Gleam.
I had #4 and #7.
