My Mobile Phone History
A list of all mobile phones I’ve used, as best as I can remember
Robb Knight inspired this post, although my list is not nearly as long or as exhaustively researched as his. I was able to get a lot of information from my email archive. Unfortunately, there's nothing in there before October 24, 2005—the day I started using Gmail.

|---|---|---|---|
| c.1992 | Motorola | Unknown | My first mobile phone. Not sure which one exactly, but something like this. |
| 1993 | NEC | P120 | First pocketable phone (sort of) |
| c.1995 | Nokia | Various | I must have had several different Nokia candy bar phones over the years. Very small and always very reliable. First phones with text messaging. |
