First cellphone: Motorola MR30 in 1994.
What he remembers: I loved the backlit, chunky keypad, and I thought that the pull-out antenna was awesome. I used to pull it out with my mouth until one day it broke and I got a slight burn from it! But there's one thing that I remember clearly about this handset. My daughter was in the car with me, and she'd picked up a balloon somewhere. Then, simultaneously as the phone rang her balloon popped, an event that made her scared of balloons to this day! I have no idea if the radiation from the handset set off the balloon, or whether it was a coincidence, but the balloon went off exactly at the same time the call came in.
What he uses now: iPhone 8 Plus
