Mine was a blocky windows phone my freshman year in high school. It still surprises me how some parents give kids in 1st or 2nd grade their own phones. At that age, a kid doesn’t really need a phone.
One of those tanks that Nokia built. You know, the ones that are as small as a 37mm cannon, but pack a punch like an 88, and never die no matter how you abuse it.
I only remember having Samsung Sidekick, but before that I had a Motorola or something but don't remember the brand. I do remember loving my Sidekick, such a nifty phone. Tactile keypads please.
Actually lucky enough to get my dad's old IPhone 3gs when he upgraded to a 4. The irony is that I just left it in my bag and hardly ever used, answered, or had it on my person for the first 6 months or so and now I always have my phone with me.
