I got my first phone when I was 13-14 or so, a Nokia 3330, great phone, later I moved to an 8210, 5110, Sony Ericsson k700i, Sony Ericsson k800i (damn fantastic phone), Nokia 5800, Nokia E7 (pickpocked less than a year after buying it with my first pay check, brilliant phone) Nokia 300, Nokia E72 (Fantastic phone), iPhone 5s, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPhone 12 mini.

My first computer ran Windows 3.11, no idea of the specs, I shared it with my sister, the first computer I can sort of remember the specs of was a machine with an AMD 233mhz cpu, windows 95/98, 32MB ram, 1.6 GB hdd and a Diamond sound card.

• Room phone: A clear 90's phone

• Cell Phone: Some sort of non-folding T9 phone, it wasn't a Nokia though

• Smartphone: Knockoff iPhone 6

• Computer: Pentium III desktop with 256 MB RAM, 30 GB HDD, Windows Me. It was also the family computer. Later upgraded to 1GB RAM and Windows 2000

• Computer (my own): 10.6" notebook with a 1 GHz Celeron, 512 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, and Windows XP (later upgraded to 2GB RAM)

I think I got my first cell phone in 2001 or 2002, it was a Kyocera 2135, or another similar model from Kyocera. My first PC is an Acer with a 75 MHz with 8 mb of RAM, came preinstalled with Windows 3.1. My family got it maybe 8 months before Windows 95 came out.

Apple ][e, it became “mine” in 90 after we moved. It’s still at my sister’s house, needs anew drive cable (we think). I bought a P2 350MHz a few years later so I could do something useful…those were the days…

First phone was (I think) a Razr, in 03. My dad was more than happy to buy me a phone so he wasn’t worried about me driving back and forth from college.

1978? We had a commodore pet. "Open 1,8,15". My father had some HP touchscreen thing.

Upgrade was the atari with the ms-basic cartridge and cassette storage. I coded up a database.

Then I had an Amiga 1000 with a real 2400 modem. And then later a beige box 486.

First cell was 1990. I owned a town car - ran airport service. Needed a phone for the execs to show off. Charged them $1/minute.

Gateway back in 1994. I was 5 idk the model

Nokia brick in 2002.

First phone: Conair Transparent Trimline

First computer: Tandy 1000HX in 1990, but before that I used my grandpa’s Macintosh SE.

I'm not sure what the very first one was, but I think the one I used most as a kid was this one or something similar (family computer):

I don't remember my first laptop but I got it in 2010ish around the end of school.

My first cell phone was from Cingulair in 2004 or 2005? A black flip phone. No idea of anything else about it, except that I ran up the texting bill and it had an internet button right on the keypad which I was constantly hitting on accident. That's probably how I developed anxiety now that I think about it.

My first smartphone was a Nokia Windows phone. Looks like Lumia is what it was called...maybe the 520? Also black. I got that around 10 years ago. I didn't even want it and I've always regretted it because that was when I really started getting attached to my phone. All these apps and stuff...yuck

1987: Amiga 500, and it had the extra 1MB RAM module to plug in the side.
1997: built my first PC, Pentium 150, also had a voodoo 2 graphics accelerator and a 2.1GB quantum fireball HDD.
1997: got my first cell phone, Alcatel one touch easy.
2003: first laptop, had a pentium 3 800?

We had a Vic20 then a Commodore 64 when I was a kid.

I think our first modem was 300baud and I went on BBS's with it.

I think the next modem was 2400, but I remember being so excited when we got a 9600.

I got a hand me down 386 and later bought a 486 cpu used off a neighbor and upgraded it myself. That was my first time tinkering inside the case.

At the end of the last century, somewhere between 97-99 probably. I became fully equipped with a Motorola 501 Startac and a Psion Series 5mx. My whole world changed. I’d used a mandarin clamshell iBook and a “rabbit” phone previously (maybe an NEC?) but the Motorola and Psion were the first I bought for myself.

The first computer that was in the home for me to use was a 486 IBM PS/2 dual booted with OS/2 and Windows 3.1. The first computer that was actually mine was a little NEC laptop running a Syrix equivalent of a Pentium II and Windows 98.

My first cell phone was a Motorola Talkabout. It was my father's, he had a cell line for a couple years. When I got my driver's license, I think he got all dad-like and decided everyone needs cell phones, so he added two lines to the plan, got new phones for him and my mother and I got his old phone. That was circa 2003.

My first "smart" phone was somewhere around 2009 or 2010, an LG Ally.

Early 80s, maybe 83 or 84, we got a Dick Smith VZ200 (rebadged VTech Laser 210 - Dick Smith here in Australia was kinda like Radio Shack). It had 8Kb of RAM but Dad bought the 16Kb expansion - 24Kb of RAM!

I got a book from my uncle on how to write BASIC programs, and wrote a heap of stuff. We could backup and load programs from a regular cassette tape recorder that plugged into the computer, sorta like the Commodore 64 later on.

Early 90s, guessing around 93, I got a Nokia 101 analogue phone. I even bought a car kit for it, and installed it in my Datsun 180B. It had a snake game on it, and I actually used it to make and receive phone calls.

Computer: Tatung Einstein (1988 I think) Mobile Phone: Nokia 402 (1999) Smart Phone: Orange SPV (2002)

I got my first phone in 2002. It was a Nokia 3510.

I got my first computer, or rather our first family computer, in the same year. All I remember specs-wise is that it was your typical beige Pentium 4 machine, 40GB HDD, massive 19" CRT monitor, running Windows XP.

Commodore 64 and two cartridges (Space Invaders and Radar Rat Race) around 1983 I think. No tape drive or floppy at first, so I got used to typing in games from magazines and books until the computer got turned off. This was early, I didn't know anyone else that had a computer. Eventually we got a tape drive (datassette) and that was when my life took a deroute, but that is a different story for a different day.

Nokia something, year somewhere 2000-2002, didn't feel it, but my parents believed that I would answer the phone more if I had a mobile.

First kompoder, I'm not sure what it was called or who made it but it definitely had a Pentium 4 in it. It was rubbish. And I had to spend 4 years with it before taking the leap to Vista, and man what a leap it was.

First phone... it was definitely a Samsung Star from 2009. It was pretty good, but then I got an iPhone 4 and never looked back... until 2 years into the flattening.
