I had a Motorola bag phone sometime around 1994 or 1995. Sorry I don't have any photos and I don't remember the specific model. Google "bag phone" to see what these looked like.

Here's a wikipedia page about them.

The Motorola bag phone is the colloquial name for a line of personal transportable cellular telephones manufactured by Motorola, inc. from 1988 to 2000.

AEG HT911 (1997)

It used the full-size gsm card (the one as large as a credit card). Got it second-hand in ~2003, brought from Spain; the battery was on its end of life.. and it was locked-in with Orange service provider (that's not legal anymore in EU).

Nokia 7610. Still works like a charm.
I still remember the day that my brother asked me if I wanted a mobile phone. In other words I bought it from him so we could then buy a new one for himself πŸ˜‚. Best choice ever. Nokia never disappointed me πŸ’ͺ

I got a HTC chacha when I was 14. It was a cheap phone, with a physical keyboard like a blackberry and a touch screen. At the time I wasn't convince by the full touch screen, I wanted some "mechanical" feel for the keyboard, to be sure what letter I was pressing.

It was a cool phone, only for the battery who was heating so much it melted some usb cables.
