    I don't remember, but I was a late adopter. Looked something like 9 or 10.

    Education is extremely important.

          My parents had Ericson (sp?) phones like #6 in the 90s, my first cell phone was senior year of college, a flip (like #12) and later a slide (like #15). Eventually I got a Blackberry Storm (iPhone-ish) and I think briefly an Android before I jumped over to the iPhone 4. I think I made the move after seeing my brother take a photo with his iPhone and the insanely good quality jump.

          Sadly, I didn't keep my early phones... kind of regret tossing them, would be fun to show the kids eventually.

            Looks like a direct line to the Kremlin or something.

              We had a rotary on the wall phone, and then when the push buttons came out my dad thought it would be cool to put a blue princess push bottom phone on the 1960’s blue toilet in the bathroom. 😄 We had a black rotary phone with a little twist button and two phone lines at my stepfathers house.

                          I really meant first cell phone. Of course we all had the Western Electric model 500. The phone company issued them to us our parents. We didn’t even own them back then.

                            A phone in your room?

                            Spoiled kid. That explains a lot. 🤓
