It was 2001 when I purchased my first handphone, I could remember it very well... the price of this Motorola cost RM650.00.... Ten years ago, this amount of money is more or less equivalent to one thousand ringgit these days, right?
I can recall how proud I was to hold this "giant handphone" ....that time, handphones were not so commonly used... If you see someone holding one, it was like, "hey, not bad, huh...." that kind of feeling... even though the size is so enormous compared to the below... hahaha....
Motorola versus Nokia...
My First Handphone versus My Latest One..
where got fight, right? hahahaa...
Anyway, this Motorola will continue to stay with me cos...
I have many bittersweet memories with this "antique"...
So how about you?
When did you start owning a handphone?
Still looks brand new.
ReplyDeleteBetter treasure it like some priceless gems cause 50 years later you can sell it for an astronomical price... Haha. I got my first handphone in my first year at uni. Can't really remember the model. Dad bought it for RM380 only.
ReplyDeleteuiks...mine was also Motorola. Given away to people when I change new phone.

ReplyDeletewenn: maybe that time motorola more commonly used, right?
ReplyDeletedoc: now the motorola antenna has turned white.. hahaha...
Time to change to iPhone! : D
ReplyDeleteMy first phone is also motorola!
ReplyDeleteI have a Motorola, too!!! Mine has a camera, does yours? I think you have mentioned that it does. I have only ever owned Motorolas!! This is my third, I first got one only about five or six years ago, everyone else had them by then, so I never had any of the older big ones! Whenever our contract expires with the phone company, we can get an expensive phone really cheap if we re-sign.
ReplyDeleteI could still remember my uncle's phone. Those that looks like a small briefcase that you have to carry around and put in the passenger seat when driving.. hahahha. He didn't keep it unfortunately else it will surely be an antique for sure. My first phone was a Motorola with flip which I got more than 10 yrs ago.
ReplyDeleteGood that you still keep your first handphone, I couldn't even remember what is my fisrt handphone. I really have bad memory.
ReplyDeleteWoww...back then is considered very expensive of that phone..LOL!!
ReplyDelete**Thanks Claire for the share of food with Kathy as my birthday pressie!!!!!
I got an Alcatel phone when I studied in uni. Bulky and heavy but convenience as I didn't have to fight for phone booth to call home. My dad owned a Motorola tai-kor-tai which stands as tall as a water tumble, lol!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much cellphones have changes through the years... I can't keep up with them --or with computers.. As soon as I buy one, it becomes outdated quickly... Oh Well...
ReplyDeleteGreat post... I remember that phone your had. I may have had one very similar back then.
Hugs,
Betsy
My first handphone is a 2nd hand Nokia given by my brother so it's free... hehehe. And he bought me the Sim card too, which I'm still using the same number until now. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep it keep it , who knows one day, Motorola looking for such phone and you are the only one in the world having it,, then fat tat lol ,kan?
ReplyDeletefor me, i like HTC lah

ReplyDeleteWe still keep that at home.
Mine is a Nokia and has always been a Nokia. :D
ReplyDeleteI remembered my first one was a nokia 3310. I still love it. :D
