Do you remember your favorite cell phone in the 90's?
I really loved this one. Nokia 239. Brings back great memories. How about you? Do you remember your favorite cell phone in the 90's?

LOL. Good one. Judging by the number of nudes I get today I could still be using it.

For most of the 90s I wasn't old enough to understand what a phone even is

I didn't get a phone until the early 2000's, but it was the Nokia that was primarily used to play snake on.

I have a suitcase full of my old phones! My favourite was the tiny 8310. The N-Series early smart phones were very cool too.

90s probably my Nokia with snake. But in general, my blackberry. I still miss my blackberry. I’m 32 and worked for AT&T before i moved into tech, i can still remember how happy that phone made me. The battery lasted forever! Life was easier back then. Now my stupid iPhone runs my entire life.
