N.Wood Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 This was my first phone on orange pay as you go, back then you didn't buy credit you bought minutes and you couldn't send texts for quite a while! Snap! I had one of those, but bright yellow. Didn't have a sim card so couldn;t transfer numbers when I got my sick ass 3310. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Anyone had one of these?! I got mine right as SMS texting just came out. You could only send 10 a day, but they were free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 old phones amuse me, my gf hasn't had a phone for nearly 6 months, so we've learned to organize and plan and create contingency plans for everything so that we're always covered, f**king huge ball ache though...

Sam Nichols Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I got my first mobile 8 yeaars ago when I was in my last year of secondary school The weird thing about how mobiles have changed the world is that I still remember all my friends home numbers from before I had a mobile phone but the only mobile numbers I have remembered post mobile phones are my parents. Besides that everything gets stored on my phone and if I lose it I'm knackered. I don't even know my own mobile number off by heart! I would say that probably 80% of my communication is through facebook now, probably 15% is phone calls and only 5% is texts.

Muel Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 You were just on time to everything, or just didn't make as many plans and popped round to peoples houses to see them. Now you're considered a stalker if you do that. I didn't get a mobile phone until 2003, and barely used it until about 2007. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 yeah i remember the days before mobiles, you'd use your 56k internet on a night to get on msn, repeatedly get shouted at by your parents for hogging the phoneline, and arrange stuff and if you did you were there, on time. or ride/walk/bus miles to a friends house in the hope they were in, but if they wernt you'd turn around and head back not even that fussed. Or you would ring their house phone, which you knew off by heart or had written in a 'phone book'(always lived next to the house phone) and ask for them. cant remember the exact year or age i got a mobile but it was a hand me down from my dad and it thought it was amazing! used to play snake for hours and text girls at least ONCE a day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really doesn't seem that long ago. But when I think about it, it was probably 10-12 years ago It also amazes me how we used to ride to good trials locations, even if they were miles away (also on the premise that we were to meet someone there). This was on a trials bike with 1 gear. Wouldn't even think about it these days, that's what cars are for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 2 interesting facts about that phone, it had the highest radiation level of any phone ever and it would spin for ages on a desk. Uninteresting fact i had one and spun it on a desk for hours whilst bored working for The Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddbmxdude Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 As already said by pretty much everyone. We just always stuck to our plans. Used land lines, can still remember all my pals old numbers. This was my first phone, it was a beast! One line of text, took ages to read because you had to let it scroll across the screen. I lost it in the front garden for a year and it still worked when I found it, just needed a charge. Try doing that with an Iphone! More recently I've had smart phones but don't find them tough enough for my lifestyle so I've gone 'back' to a brick. Got a Samsung B2710 now, its fully waterproof and drop proof. Still got Facebook, Twitter and Google maps/GPS, just a lot more rugged than a touch screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 i miss the days of watching your phone explode into a million pieces accross the floor and not having your heart sink thinking f**k thats going to hurt my bank balance. then you put it back together something doesnt fit quite right so you wedge it in anyway turn it on and hey presto all you need to do is re set the time.

Tomm Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Are you serious that you find this bizarre? http://en.wikipedia....ed_obsolescence I fully understand why it happens. I just don't think it's a very good model for our society to live by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza pro series guy Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I know 2 interesting facts about that phone, it had the highest radiation level of any phone ever and it would spin for ages on a desk. Uninteresting fact i had one and spun it on a desk for hours whilst bored working for The Man. Put a Nokia 3310 on one end (the one with the speakers, forgot if it's top or bottom) on a flat table, get it to balence and scroll through the ringtones and you will find one which makes the whole phone rotate anti-clockwise. That managed to entertain me and my cousins for a whole day once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Before mobile phones, I'd have had to use an actual camcorder to record last nights escapades, rather than handily having my phone to hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
