This was my introduction into mobile phones and I hold it in very high regard. At first this phone belonged to my Mother, and I have strong memories of getting hold of it from her whenever I could to play a game of Snake while we waited in a doctors waiting room, or being dragged around department stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once my Mother’s contract had ended she replaced the device, and this was handed down to me, with a o2 pay as you go SIM as my very own first mobile phone. At this point in my life, around 2001 I had very little need for a mobile phone, other than being contactable for my parents when I was playing out and I may have sent a couple of text messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This didn’t stop me using this phone and exploring every feature it had. I remember the green backlight and backlit keys, which were very similar to a Casio F91-W’s in colour, and actual usefulness. It had an inbuilt ringtone maker, which you could painstakingly type out a sequence of numbers for different notes, and breaks to create your very own song. I think my proudest ringtone was the 007 theme tune, in all it’s Monophonic glory. Aside from Snake and the ringtone maker this phone was very basic, it didn’t have any type of connectivity aside from calls and text messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember keeping this device around while I had my next couple of devices, but I can’t work out what actually happened to this phone. I don’t think it was every sold but perhaps it was lost in a later house move or maybe it was passed on to another family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
