I got my first cell phone in 1998 – over 10 years ago and I’ve been connected ever since. In this post I am going to outline the phones I’ve owned over the last decade and try to give a bit of a technology overview for each.
1. Nokia 2160

This was my first cell phone. It was a gift for graduating high school. I got it towards the end of 1998.
Provider: Cantel/AT&T
Network: AMPS, TDMA 800 MHz
Battery: 600 mAh Nickel Metal Hydride
2G Talk time: 1.5 hours
2G Standby: 40 hours
Screen resolution: 2 lines LCD
