Why would you not include the most epic of Nokia phones, the 3310?
How’s this not on the list!
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.
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!”
punch people with it. satisfying ding
I remember number 1 from when I played GTA Vice City.

Nokia 3210 was my first phone, then I went down the Nokia rabbit hole ending with the ngage, man I miss that company.
My first phone was #5
Mine was #6 it was a brick
When I was a kid you couldn’t choose your phone. Or I guess you could choose between wall mounted or 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.
#1 was my 3rd cell phone
5 I remember liking dot matrix screen and browsing bit rushed WAP sites on it. Also being annoyed about having to activate the phone before I could use it.
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 (?).
Damn, are you me?
My first phone was like 18 but also I didn’t get a cellphone until I was nearly 30
My first phone was #3
Same, number 3. Still have the original phone number even!
