Ummm, I think it was a Nokia phone back in 2004. My very first smartphone was back in 2015, it was an Alcatel Idol 3. I paid for it by using a Bing rewards bot and a lot of Amazon 5 dollar gift cards, that I botted for. :D

Those were so hot in the day, I remember they used to be all over those MTV reality shows as prizes (real world, etc). Didn't remember the look of it, but the second I read the name, it totally all flashed back to me

There was a time before flip phones m8, but I'll cut you a break as it just shows your age :P

I actually had those crappy phones with a brick form factor and proprietary OS until 2014 or so.

First phone? No idea. If it wasn't one of those indestructible nokias, it was close to it.

First smart phone was a crappy b tier samsung (not galaxy). After that I got a Nexus 5x, and now I've got a Pixel 2.

I've probably had 10 phones or so by this point.

EDIT: Oh, I see you added the "nokia" option
I was thinking the same about his age. :)

The first phone I got was when I was 16, on my birthday I got a Samsung Galaxy Prime. I was the last one to get a phone in the family and I was the only one who started with a smartphone. I now have my grandparents S5, soon to be replaced this year, hopefully by my birthday.

First phone I had was a Nokia 5110, I was just 10 but I thought it looked so awesome.

My first smartphone was a HTC Tattoo, man did my mind got blown away for a smartphone who had Wi-Fi, emulators and you could install custom ROMs

The year was 2000. My first bill was $1000. I was 20 when I got it through sprint. I didn't realize that 10 cents a minute plus the outrageous data charges would lead to that bill. I used to use my yahoo messenger through text codes. god times, not for my wallet though. That bill was almost 4times my rent at that time .

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
