What cellphone did Steve Jobs use before he had an iPhone?
So this picture of Steve Jobs supposedly using an iPhone in public got us thinking: what cellphone did he use before he had an iPhone? We know that Gates has carried a Windows Mobile device for years -- at one point he had an HTC Typhoon and then later switched to a Treo 700w -- but does anyone know what cellphone Jobs used to use? Did he even HAVE a cellphone before Jonathan Ive built him the handset of his dreams? We've actually heard from a couple of reliable sources that he didn't -- and you have to admit that it would be so like Steve Jobs to not even own a cellphone until he could build his own.
Anyone out there know for sure?

I dont know the answe to this question but something I also wondered was if Steve Job has a business card or not. I mean, does he really need one, would ever really need to give one out?

I once over heard a former apple employee joke about this and why the iphone does not have buttons. Because Steve Job never diales anyone. He just has his assistant on speed dial that connects his calls...
dont know how much truth there is in the joke but still..

Wow... that picture is obviously photoshopped. Notice how sharp the contrast is between Jobs and the background.
Anyway, for the cellphone question... Jobs doesn't need one, because he can obviously call all his friends using his amazing telepathy skills. I mean, he's already hyped the sub-par iPod beyond human control, right? There's got to be something supernatural about him.

I know for sure that Steve used Motorola RAZR V3 Black! I saw pictures with him talking on the phone :-) SO that's that!
