Early generation mobile phones are the ones that really started the mobile device industry which is now a massive part of our everyday lives.

When you think of old mobile phones, usually, there are a few brands that pop up immediately in our minds. For example, the Nokia brand was one of the most popular phone brands back in the day and its impact on the mobile industry is something that people still talk about to this day. Even now, people continue to joke about or talk about the reliability and durability of Nokia’s older phone models. With that said, one of the more popular early generation phones from Nokia would be the ever-reliable Nokia 3310. Although this type of phone is quite old at this point, you’ll find that this phone still can work in today’s time. If you’re going to buy a Nokia 3310, then the price would range anywhere from PHP 6 to as much as PHP 3,500.

Of course, it wasn’t only Nokia that was the phone brand that was making waves back in those early days of wide mobile phone usage. Another popular brand for phones from back in the day would be Motorola. They particularly stood out with their line of flip phones which became one of the most popular phones in the world and it became an icon of that entire era and not just in terms of phones. To this day, Motorola is still making smartphones, and they are even still making some flip phones today. However, there was just something different about the flip phones back then, especially the satisfying click as the phone closes. If you’re chasing this nostalgia too and want to buy a Motorola phone, then PHP 200 to PHP 6,500 is about the price you can expect for these phones.
