My first cell phone was a Nokia and all I could do was call and text. It had a select amount of ringtones that you could chose from. Even though it was 2001 when I got my first cell phone you had to hope for good reception. Now I have a BlackBerry Torch and cannot imagine living with out a smartphone.
