My First Cellphone
I was 12 years old when I was given my first cell phone: a Motorola Razr V3. The phone offered no free wifi internet as you had to have a plan at that time. Games on the phone were limited and text tones had to be purchased for download. T9 was the text feature rather than the QWERTY keyboard. Image from BestBuy.com. -
