When did you first get a smartphone?

15 Comments

I jumped on the bandwagon in 2010. It seems like 2010-2012 is when most people first got them. Prior to that, Nokia still dominated, and it was only a select handful of tech-nerds who owned them.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

      Oh, my mom had that one. Yeah, it was probably the best smartphone you could own back in 2011. My step-dad back then had the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, which was also good.

    When I was in university. I think in 2013, I bought a Samsung S3 and used it up until late 2019, when it broke and refused to turn on.

    Bought an S7 Edge and still using it now. It was a good phone and if it hadn't broke, maybe I would have kept it.

    I think it was 2014. It was a cheap little Virgin Mobile phone. Using the internet with my phone for the first time felt pretty cool. XD

    A Samsung back in 2010. It was an awful, cheap little model, and I hated it. But hey, I got it for free, so no complaints. Nowadays, even the cheapest smartphones on sale are good, which definitely wasn't the case then.

    I had a terrible Android phone with a big screen in 2011 but I don’t count that so it’s my 2015 iPhone. I found the Android in my December clear out and the plastic on the back had all melted.

      The early smartphones ( pre-2012 ) were actually pretty unreliable and crappy.

        You’re right, it was a hunk of junk, I switched to a little Nokia brick in 2014 and it was a relief.
