It had a 30 contact phonebook, b&w screen, and came with I think like 2 games. :)

It had a monochromatic (blue) screen and its big feature was polyphonic ringtones. Nothing else about it was that special but it was pretty thin and light for the phones of that time. I liked it and it lasted me about 3 years.

The most notable feature? It had the game Snake on it. I would kill hours of time playing that stupid game.

It was monochrome, it didn't support SMS (you had to go through a wireless web portal) and it got super hot after 10 minutes of talking.
But it had orange side panels, and a flip-down keyguard. I'm still nostalgic for the form factor.

Though the phone that lasted me for years after the Audiovox had died was the Samsung SCH-a650. That phone could take a beating and never die. I dropped it countless times and even went swimming with it once. After keeping it off for a couple of days and letting it dry out it booted back up again and worked without an issue. The fact that dropping a phone at all now is almost certain to break it makes me a little nostalgic for the old flip phones that were nearly indestructible.

The first phone I owned that really had "notable" features was my Siemens SL45 ( gdgt.com/siemens/sl45/ ). It had a memory card slot, MP3 playback and basic wap internet (text only!) all in a thin light phone. Do you know how revolutionary that was in March 2001!!

Use a Nexus One today and can't believe how far these little devices have come in just over 10 years (when I had my 2110).
