What was your #FirstPhone ?
Mine was the Ericsson GA 628.
I got the extended battery which almost doubled the thickness of the phone but also doubled my standby time and talk time!

I still think back to those days fondly and wish I could look forwards to getting phonecalls again.

@rogerlipscombe @axelrafn Of course my first phone was an Ericsson superheawy Bakelite circa 1960 model, but naturally for landline. 😜
Around 1985 portable NMT phones became the norm, remember well the briefcase model (think mine was Ericsson), and around 1991 they had shrunk to about the size of a WHF-radio. Had several of those, some with a built-in pager.
From there I headed to Inmarsat and then Iridium satellite phones (work constraints) and didn't get a GSM until 2005. To each his own...
