my very first phone in 2000 @!#. it was prepaid but still

then i got the star tac for my bday when i was in 9th grade but lost it in a month

switched upto the timeport and that was the greatest phone ever

(the model before the black screen)

and then from then on i had some crappy verizon phones (and i'm sure people remember how crappy verizon phones were back in like 02+)

this one was probably the biggest hit in HS...all the thugs had one with like clear housing and light up antanna and flashing battery...sadly my parents wouldn't get me a nextel...

I posted the 8290 a few pages back, I had 3 of them two red and one blue

prob. my favorite phone ive ever owned

on my 21st Bday I was living inOcean City, MD and I was so hammered I fell off my back dock into the bay with it in my pocket, that was 8290 #2

Had the startac in black and a few more phones in this thread, like the i860 on Nextel. Great memories.

I knew it was going to be about that phone before I even opened up the thread. Still have a few laying around the house. Me and

my buddies all had that phone. Only way to tell apart was the different color faceplates.

This phone stayed getting lost, yet I loved it. Back in the good ol Cingular Days LOL

My dad had one of those bad boys and i thought it was the coolest thing ever.

star-tac - nobody could touch you with one of these. i think the wolf shirt's genealogy lines run back to the star tac.

Star Tac and the Accompli and you're that dude...
