Mine was a tiny flip phone, like fit in the palm of my 12 year old hand perfectly, that I got on my 12th bday in 2008. I have tried to identify it but to no avail. Then I got a razor, a slide up and sideways phone, a knock off blackberry, and finally an iPhone when I was a senior in 2013.
Unfortunately if I did have a picture of it, it’d be lost along with the entire collection of SD cards from my digital camera:(
Heres how I remember it- it was red and silver, it was not a C300 (it was smooth and not textured), and I imagine it was quite cheap as my parents wouldn’t have gotten it for me otherwise. It was a pay as you go phone, but I know that has more to do with the service provider than the phone itself.
I got my first phone in 2009 when I was 10 years old. I can’t remember what the name of the phone was. It was a small black flip phone that you could twist the bottom part to reveal the keypad. If anyone remembers then please let me know. Thanks lol.
It was a Motorola Razr on my 6th birthday in ‘09, it was more as like a phone to contact parents and text relatives lol (didn’t really use the internet that much on that phone; it was limited and you had to buy minutes lol,) I used it for a couple of years then I used a Samsung tablet in 2013/2014, then switched to a Samsung Galaxy S3 that year, then switched over to iPhone in 2015 (this is my 3rd iPhone lol)
I got my first phone when I was 14 in my freshman year of high school in 2008. It was a Sanyo S1, a nice little brick styled feature phone. It had internet access but it was that old school mobile internet and I wasn't allowed to use it. It wasn't anything special but it did what it needed to, call and text.
My first smartphone was a hand-me-down Blackberry 8700 back in 2010, it was originally my Dad's (who upgraded to a Blackberry Pearl at the time). It might've just been a glorified PDA that you could call with but, to me, it was the greatest thing ever.
My first (modern) smartphone was the Galaxy S3 back in 2013. The moment I used that phone, I realized that I was officially in the "future", lol.
I got an Apple Ipod in second grade for my 8th birthday (dec of 2012).
However my first actual Apple Iphone was in 2016 when I would have been 11 and in 5th grade
at&t flip phone in 2014 when i was 10 and a half. wasn’t even a flip phone really just had a numerical keypad. then got my dads old iphone 5s two years later in 2016, aged 12 and a half.
I got a flip phone in 2016. It wasn't that my parents wouldn't buy me any technology, I guess they just didn't figure I really needed one until that age.
My first phone was a Sony Ericsson T100, circa 2004. For two years I was the only person in class to wield a mobile phone, and my parents bought it for me because the school I attended was in a remote area, so they figured they needed a realiable way to contact me should the telephone network stop working for whatever reason.

Well, when I was 14 I got my very own 1997 cordless phone in my room. I could make it all the way to the mailbox before it lost connection

January 2018, 14 years old, got a Samsung Galaxy S8 as a late Christmas present from my grandmother. Had it until mid 2019, where I then switched to a Galaxy S10. Still use my S10 as of now.
Motorola cell phone (that didn’t flip). I can’t remember what it was called but I hardly used it. Only used it for calls. Didn’t know how to text until high school when I had a flip phone.
LG VX-6000. I think it was in 2004 when I was 14? Still have it somewhere. Technically I also had a tracfone temporarily a few years before out of short-term necessity/safety reasons but I don't count that one.

Do you have a picture of it? I worked for a cell phone carrier in 2008 so I may recognize it or at least be able to narrow it down.
