How old were you when you first had a mobile phone?

18 - 7 years ago. Siemens C25

16, that was 15 years ago, when Orange first came out it released a Nokia and Motorola phone, and I had the Motorola flip. Bought an extended battery for it so when it was clipped to my belt, the entire phone stuck out about 3 inches!

When i was 14, 7 years ago, i had a motorola brick ( can remember the exact name) which was followed shortly by the Nokia 5110, nokia 3210, 3030, 8310, samsung x100, samsung e600, and now the Samsung d500, which is going to be replaced by the Sony Ericsson k800i

I was about 24.

Nokia 5.1 - bit of a brick and was half decent as an alternative weapon.

I think I was 13-14 or something like that, I'm 18 now...
I think I didn't really needed it when I got it, but I guess my parents thought that was a good way of communicating etc...since I wanted to be with my friends and such and they wanted me to know where I was in advance etc.
But it seems a bit scary with all the yangsters turning into mini-adults. Not just with the mobiles and such, but clothes and so on...

My eldest was 10, he has a Nokia 330 my youngest was 8, and he has a Nokia 3100, their phones are in their bedrooms turned off when Michael first started secondary school i made sure he had it until he'd settled in, and when he stays over anywhere i make sure he's got it i always get these lovely little "I Love You Mum" text messages when he's away

Jon's firat phone was a Motorola C520 he has a Samsung D500 now

My first phone was an old Motorola, i remember having a Nokia 3210, then i had a Nokia 3310 which i loved to bits, then it got chewed by Max when he was a Pup after that i had a Samsung T100, then Samsung SGH E700 i loved those too, now i have a Samsung D500 which i think is an excellent little phone

Must have been around 12, though it was just for emergency use really, and my parents used it more than I did day-to-day.

Still, it was a rather fabulous 8210; small, but less functional than the 3310s/3330s everyone else seemed to have at the time.

[Bluecube]

22 and that was 6 years ago now... Got one of those Philips that were going for £40. Did the job very well!

I got mine when I was 13. One of the old Sony Ericsons that had a tiny screen and a scroll wheel on the side

[Yohji]

Must have been 12 or 13, got a Nokia 3330 I think... Then had a 3100, which broke, so now using some random brick of a phone until I can be bothered to get a new one.

[shiato storm]

[SG19]

15, Phillips Diga.

All my mates got Pagers, my parents refused to get me one as I couldnt 'get back to them' so I got a £20 Prepay (Diga) phone for £130 i think.

[Moby-Dick]
