Can you remember your first cellphone? I do; it was a Nokia 5110 (okay, this was my first personal cellphone — we had a family one before that was so obscure its name escapes me). I was able to call people on it, and once I had all the message-centre numbers set up correctly I could text on it too. As there were limited text characters, we had to invent ways of saying as much as possible in a single text message, so we didn’t have to pay an additional charge for multiple messages. Yes, I’m ashamed to say that once upon a time I used “txt spk”. Its biggest feature? The front cover clipped off and I could change the colour — how awesome was that?
