My first mobile phone was Samsung Galaxy II way back in 2002. That was even before smart phones came into existence.

Go figure.

eGuerrilla:

I read an interesting article on how technology has moved everyone from a default offline mode to an online mode - sad. Gone are the days you'd drop in on an absent friend unannounced, only to find you have to make do with a handwritten note.

I tried to resist for as long as possible as I wanted not to be disturbed given that I had a land line at home but finally got a Nokia 3310 in 2002.
I am still resisting getting a smartphone but expect I will get one next year or can push off till 2015 as I don't like the idea of checking my emails when I should be resting or off work.

Okija_juju: Thanks to Obasanjo & the PDP for bringing Mobile Phones to Nigeria..


Myy first phone was a Sagem 920.. Plus Line of 27,000 Naira.

Its people like this that will one day look back and thank GEJ for introducing Facebook to Nigeria. Lame attempt at politicizing something that was bound to happen one way or the other.

My first mobile phone, trium soft touch keypad, back in 2003, damn I loved that phone.

Now, looking back I think I must have used like 15 phones after that.

I remember the feeling I had when the google home page opened for the first time on my sony ericson (detachable camera), it was a wow moment back then.

A day like that i managed to save #200 my feeding allowance for two weeks to Download at a guy's shop, the guy threw the phone back at me saying he can't connect it to his computer.

lol. My first phone was one red alcatel i bought late 2003 when glo was doing one promo like that. You paid 10k and the balance of 6k is deducted as you load credit. Those guys ended up taking over 20k.still didn't Stop deducting money until i mailed a petition to NCC to call them to order. I was in law school then and I recall glo had no service unless you climbed a little elevation behind F block and the wind blew favourably.

dominique: Whoa! Never knew the cell phone was this old. Didn't debut in naija till the early 90s.
My first phone was a motorola c200 (got stolen few months later angry)

I used my Motorolla C200 for 5 good years but my Sagem My-X1 (my first phone) didnt last. It had factory issues.

God bless the soul of my Nokia Asha who thieving police men took away instead of my car keys.
