The nearest cell tower that it supports is probably between 3 and 20 Mm.

My first was a Philips TCD308, from 1997 but it was a hand down from my older sister around 2000-2001. Strange to think that Linus is like 4 years older than me but I had a mobile phone 2-3 years before him. That said I didn't get my first new phone until about 2003-2004, a Sagem MY V-65 which was well ahead of the V100.

Ohh, I remember those, I got one free when I signed up for a credit card at freshers week. Would of been beginning of October '98

Nonstandard ports eh? But Linus, Apple was 100% nonstandard till they realized how superior USB-C was to their junky connectors. Oh wait...

 

My phone way way back:

 

 

The $120 price tag was expensive for a phone...

 

Also VMUSA still has the manual

I got my first cell in 1994 it was a Siemens S3+. Have had a bunch of weird phones in my life. Like a proto type of the Nokia banana phone that was the first phone ever to have WAP. It was buggy as hell but worked for some stuff.

They took credit card sized sim cards too. I remember cutting mine up when I got a "new" phone that took the small sized (at the time) sims.

SE K800

Can fondly remember when SE phones were all the rage.

 

Had a W810i myself. Loved it. Expandable storage was via Memory Stick Duo. Wasn't a fan of that at all.

Heres my first three phones in order from left to right - Siemens A50, Siemens MC60, Siemens CF62.

They were all hand me downs

I thought Linus was older than I am, but if he turned 16 in 2003 he's exactly my age.

 

My first phone was one of these:  

Those weird Motorola Talkabout flip phones with the battery on the top.

Yeah. My friends had a few and my bro. So I'm trying to remember if I had an inbetween model at all... kinda cloudy on that because there were so many around, and I may have gone from a 750-800 for a minor upgrade if it was just £50 or so at the time.

And these were my first: Siemens A35, Siemens A50, Siemens CX75. First two were hand me downs. CX75 was bought for my 11^th birthday.
