I'd love to mock but I had a StarTAC at about that age. My mom insisted I have it since I was riding a bike ~10 miles a day to and from school in a rather bike-hostile town.

I don't think I ever used more than 100 minutes in a month, most of them on calls from her.

My first phone was I think at 14? I got a prepaid phone on my own. Since then I've owned a Razr, a Ericcson W580i (which wasn't that great :/ ), and now a Samsung Impression. I got a sweet deal on the Impression because at&t had a 50% off deal for all touchscreen phones besides the iphone plus it had a $50 rebate. So a touchscreen qwerty keyboard phone for $50 is a good deal to me ;)

My girlfriend's sister just got her first phone. It's an LG Versa, she's 11.

Boo, hoo, hoo. One of my earliest websites... what will I do with it? I don't even own the car any more.

@Unknown2U: I had an Angelfire page. I still don't understand why they chose that name. I just remember that they gave you the most storage space at one point.

I'm surprised they were still around. Horrible speeds at best.

@stupidsimple: I'm surprised that it took so long for MySpace to obliterate them. Most people like shiny, user-friendly services with pretty pictures, not the old school hosting that GeoCities had.

That being said, it is sort of sad. My first programming experiences were in HTML on websites like GeoCities.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Myspace is shiny and user friendly? Myspace is awful.

@livinzlife: Actually, you're right. But compared to Geocities? In any case, Facebook seems to be picking up speed now...
