Flip version of 11. The Perl flip.
Are you even old enough to remember number 1?

How’s this not on the list!
HeyJoe@lemmy.world 5 months ago
11 because I was still super young and got my first real job at age 22, and it was still an era when cell phones weren’t requirements, and my parents absolutely weren’t paying for them yet. Felt super cool getting such a crazy phone, but the appeal rubbed off quick once I got those on call calls at 3am…

Why would you not include the most epic of Nokia phones, the 3310?
majari42@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Nah, you’re forgetting it’s predecessor 3210. This thing was rock solid. Battery lasted for ages. And snake… snake… snaaaaake! Only lacked a vibrate function…
And 50% of the ppl in my town had one.

I was looking for it as well!

When I was a kid you couldn’t choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted of tabletop. They were leased from the phone company when you paid for a phone line.
My grandmother kept her bakelite rotary phone until she couldn’t call her doctor without a touchtone.

For a long time I thought that a rotary phone was one of those old wall mounted phones with the horn that you had to crank to make a call because all of those "things people born after 19XX don't recognize" lists had rotary phones on them. I was born after 19XX and basically everyone I knew had one of these so it couldn't be a rotary phone.
shalafi@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Hah! Those horn phones were rare in antique stores when I was a child. :)
I remember my parents telling me we didn’t own the phone (pictured) in their bedroom. Turns out it was rented from AT&T. Young me was shocked at the notion. “But it’s in our house!”
At some point we upgraded to a push button version, of our own. Don’t think AT&T wanted the old one back. Got one out of the trash, sitting here now, wife wants me to toss it. “No! That and mom’s cursive typewriter stay!”

Same, number 3. Still have the original phone number even!

Still have the original phone number?! I think you need to enter this fact into the Guinness world records, you might have a world record with that.

Oh my, I recognise #5! My dad had one of those and I inherited it before I got the classic Nokia brick with Snake and Space Invaders (?).

My first phone was one of the Nokia bricks around the time of the 3310. When I was in middle school my old man carried a pager. He eventually had a phone around #5. My first was somewhere between 7-10.
With my first body shop, I ordered a used Sony Ericsson T800 from eBay that came from Europe. It was one of the first smartphones, pre android and with a resistive touch screen. I knew the utility was far more valuable. A bunch of family and friends swore up and down about their dumb flip phones and razors, and how I was crazy.
stoy@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Are you sure it was the T800? I can only find the P800 when googling.
I checks as I had never heard about the T800, but remembered my dad having a P800 for a few years
j4k3@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Could be. Probably.
