Let's Remember Our Old Mobiles!

Did you ever have any of these?



Reading this article from the Guardian took me on a trip down memory lane. How simple mobile phones were! They did what they had to do: send and get phone calls. And snake! You could give your phone some other uses, too...



Can you remember what your old mobile phones were like? Do you think you'd be able to get by today if you had to depend exclusively on these old mobiles instead of your current smart phones (which are sadly far smarter than us)?

lol ok now thats just took me back to my first phone by bt cellnet Now O2 lol
I was so over the moon when i got it i was like a kid with a new toy.

My mum Bless her sole would say Bob get off that phone and help me with dinner or the garden or what ever she was doing at the time. The thing was i was not even making a call i was playing the snakes game lol and she would say at night ok dinner is ready come on sit at the table and Bob NO F****ing Phones at the table... If it comes to the table i will shash it up with a hammer

If i was not playing the snakes game i was texting my mates lol

I still have my really old nokia some place i have all my old phones in there boxes some place I don't bin nothing if it is not broken

How great it's to read you still have your old phone. Today, lots of people throw their devices as they become old-fashioned or uncool. It's this obsession to get the latest version and, afterwards, they end up using the same apps and functions they used before. 

LOL! Your mum was darn serious when she talked about your phone. I guess your mobile would have survived the hammer, though. 

Do you think you'd get by exclusively with your mobile phone? I'd really love to go back to the old days when we weren't that reachable. These days, we simply can't escape!

I still have a really old phone and it still works JUST.

i ee the new phones and i think Naaaaa i will stick with this one i know where i stand with it lol it's a basic Vodafone Phone with keys and a colour screen I would not even know how to use a new phone even if i tried Haha.

My son said to me once dad what on earth have you still got that crap old phone for? i said Son it works and i can make a call and text on it what else do i need to do on a phone ? Haha and yet i love the life of the internet but a mobile phone is really just a toy now not a phone.

I got rid of my old phones. I ended up resetting them and selling them.
