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.

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.

Lessee...

First phone was a red Samsung feature with a feature phone around 2009, 2010 or so.

First computer of my own was an old IBM thing. Don't remember the model, but it was just a simple black tower with a 16:10 monitor. 2 gigs RAM, 32gb hard drive, and a Pentium 4! It was too shit to render flashlights in HL2 Deathmatch but I played shit tons of that on it. Once it got a GPU and a 500 gig drive a while after, I clocked soooo many hours playing gmod and classic Doom on it as a kid.

My first own computer was a Pentium II with 300Mhz, 64MB Memory, an Elsa Gladiac Erazor graphics card and a 4GB HDD. I got it around the year 2000, it was a used computer from the company of my parents. Before I got this one I was allowed to play on the 286 and later the 486 which my parents had in their company's office. My first mobile was a Nokia 6210 and I got it around the year 2001.

First phone was a Motorola RAZR.

IBM PC, 5 MB of RAM and no hard drive until we installed one... it wasn't "mine" per se but it was my family computer.

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.

Phone? Probably an old flip phone. Motorola perhaps? I can’t remember. Computer was a Tandy TRS-80 I think, or something like that.

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.

When I turned 13, I got my first computer, a laptop (a gaming computer, originally running Windows 10, ran Windows 11 for a very short time when it came out and it's been Linux ever since), although I'd had use of my family's desktop for a few years previously (10 year old very slow computer, running Windows). I was given a dumb phone at 11 (some Nokia), got my first smartphone at 14 (an iPhone), and the first smartphone I actually owned at 16 (a Motorola).

I remember us having an Atari computer along with some Compac computer running DOS in the late 80s. The computers I grew up with were models that we got for free from my dad's workplace whenever they upgraded. We ran Win 3.1 until about '98. Win 95 was prevalent in the house until the mid '00s. Due to my dad's job, we always had a computer of some sort in the house.

The computers in my elementary school's computer lab were Apple 2es - in the 90s.

I didn't get a cellphone until around 2004/2005, and then it was a hand-me-down from my older sister. The Nokia 5110 - the brick, complete with extendable antenna.

First phone: Conair Transparent Trimline

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