First (un)official phone was a Nokia 232 with an Insta connection. It was AMPS phone, dad bought it for me after a month of pestering him. This was somewhere around 2000-01. Looked exactly like this, with fake wood trim and all.
First phone with my own money was a Sony Ericsson T105. I LOVED that phone. It had a green LED light on top which used to blink all the time, I loved that. Unfortunately, someone stole it from my pocket while I was travelling in a public bus.
Alhamdulillah, I buy all my phones new.
