Old mobile phones are like kisses from Grandma: you'd rather forget they happened. What's your embarrassing list of the mobile phones you've owned?

My first ever phone was a Motorola c520. I got it for my birthday in 1999. It could only send texts that were shorter than the Twitter count and could make phone calls. That was it! But, I freakin' loved it.

Second was the famous Nokia 3210. Purchased second hand from a friend in 2000, I remember being bowled over by the silent function and the fact I could change fascia's ! What a revolution!

After this, it was the Philips Savvy, with its key features being an amazing game that predicted your mood and love life and things like that.

I then went to a Sagem MW 3020. This was the most random phone I think I ever owned. It sent texts had a very early version of mobile called WAP. Plus, it was tiny and weighed nothing (I often lost it!).

As 2004 rolled around, I upgraded to the Nokia 3310 (haha), and this was the time that I first fell victim to a serious Snake addiction. Man. What a game.

I jumped forward with the Nokia 6230 in 2005 and then, 18 months later, upgraded to the 6230i. These phones were the first ones I owned that had video capability (albeit 30 seconds at a time!)

After my 6230i packed in 2 years later, I owned a Nokia E65. This sliding phone was my first smartphone. For the first time, I was able to send email from my phone, take higher quality pics and browse the internet. It was rubbish though, and malfunctioned within 6 months.

Because of the crappy E65, I lost faith in the smartphone idea, and went back to old skool, this time getting the simple (and my only candybar phone) Nokia 6300. I had this phone from 2006-2009, and it never let me down. It was the last brilliant Nokia I owned.

2009 came around and, with all the hype about iPhones and Blackberry's, I decided to ditch the ole reliable Nokia and bought...another Nokia! Ha! I wasn't ready to part with the brand I had been so loyal to for so long. I bought the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. It was my first touch screen phone and it came with a freakin' stylus! It was also the first time I encountered apps (albeit crap ones from the Ovi Store!) I remember choosing this over the iPhone 2G because it was dubbed 'the iPhone killer'...boy did I eat humble pie!

The phone lasted just over a year before the plastic touch screen died and the buttons stopped working. It was a really rubbish phone.

Summer of 2010, I parted ways with Nokia after almost a decade of enjoying their phones, and bought the iPhone 3GS. Everything else faded into obscurity. It was love at first sight.

I still have my 3GS. 3 wonderful years of reliable, solid phone use. I can't imagine a time where apps and internet browsing and tweeting didn't exist. Sadly, the phone is starting to fall apart a bit. I've lost my power button, the charging dock is a bit cracks and it's gotten really slow in the last 6 months.

With my birthday around the corner, I've dropped some iPhone 5 hints to my fiance! Fingers crossed.

What's YOUR mobile phone history? Don't be shy...break out the bricks!

Ha ha ha... This is a good one.  Ahem!  Embarrasing you say?  Well, they were pretty awesome back then!

OK.  Here I go.

When I came to Spain, my first mobile was the Nokia 3210.

Luckily it was stolen soon after I bought it.

So I switched to a Siemens S45.

I haven't had lots of cell phones, mainly because I have always had them on contract.

As I was an active teenager, I was generally out of the house a lot, wither climbing, walking, canoeing or skating, my parents got me a mobile when I was just 14 years old. It's so normal now to have a mobile from age 10 or so, but in 1995, none of my other friends had one.

I originally had an NEC phone *cringes* it was huge and had an antenna! The screen was black and you could only read one line of text at once. The phone was huge and dictated what sort of bag you could use. Teenagers would be shocked to know that you could not text people on other networks until about 1995. I figured out that by going into your phones message settings, that you could change the BT cellnet message centre number to that of Vodafone's to force the message through - dedication! Text messages also cost 12p including

I made my mum swap phones with me for a short time as I wanted to customise my ringtone! So I had the Sony Ericsson G9 for a little while. To make the ringtone, you have to actually key the notes in manually. For example F# GGABDAC. Seems so antiquated now!

Then, as common as Friends being on Channel 4 in 1998, I had the good old Nokia 5110. Amazing battery life, and it had snake on it. Incredible. I remember this still being really inconvenient with regards to handbags etc due to the antenna.

Then I got a Nokia N95, which I really liked! It had a huge screen and was small enough to fit in your pocket.

The rest of the list isn't as funny as they are fairly standard Blackberry and iPhone. Remembering the older phones is great fun, and definitely makes me grateful that progress in design and electronics is always moving forward. I just hope they bring out a phone like the one in Zoolander soon!
