I was the first one in my family to get a mobile/cellphone. I bought a Nokia 3210 with my summer holiday pay in 1999. I then graduated to a 3310 three years later, and then bought a phone off my friend another three years afterwards. Then I went through two phones given to me by my then-boyfriend, including a Motorola Razr, which I part-traded for a Sony Ericsson something or other on a splurge last Boxing Day.
