Mine was a Motorola bag phone when I was 16. My parents didn't even tell me what the number was to it, it was only to call if I had issues traveling.

This is the one that had essentially a walkie-talkie feature that you could set up with another phone to save cell minutes. And it came with a really sweet belt holster.

Same. Was my sister’s old phone.
As others have mentioned, loved playing snake and texting was terrible.

First phone I bought was the razr that others have mentioned.

I think my favorite phone through the years has been the original iPhone. A great smart phone and that thing was damn near impossible to break. Many drunken nights where that thing got dropped, tossed, stepped on and it kept on going and didn’t show any damage.

This was my first one. Got it in Dec. 1995. I remember going on a weekend trip to LA in '96 and getting a $600 phone bill that month.

It was a great day when you were ready to order concrete and didn't have to remember the locale of the nearest public phone booth...
Or running with your calling card to a pay phone at the airport to get a ride :) Ahh, the good old days. Seriously, sometimes I think tech is dumb.
