    Nope. I never really got into phones. The only reason I bought my smartphone, is because society demanded it. You can’t access many things without one.

    My first and only smartphone is an iPhone 16, all the previous cellphones were cheap dumbphones for about $20. If possible, I prefer using email and a PC browser, because desktop computing is my natural habitat.

    Phones suck. I have to pay a subscription for something that I don’t like using, and barely touch most weeks.

    My Nexus 4. Great phone! I regret giving it away after I broke the screen for the second time by stupidity. It was light, fast and beautiful

    I reminisce about the time when I would get a new phone and then spent a whole day going through the settings and tweaking stuff.

    Setting up a new phone now is arguably easier and faster but also just boring

    I just thought about my old phone. Got a new one in May, andjust before I left for a long trip a few weeks ago I loaded it with a few movies. During the trip I realised that the new phone didn’t have a headphone jack anymore, so I couldn’t watch anything. It made me irrationally angry.

    The Nokia 3310. It made phone calls, snake was installed by default, and it was built like a rock! You could use it to stun a raccoon at 43 paces, then make a call while playing snake.

    I remember getting my Nokia 8210, one of the smallest phones ever, you didn’t need to buy a bag or bring a jacket just to carry the phone around… Incredible concept

    Not as old, but I miss using my Essentials PH-1. It had stock android instead of a carrier or maker version of android and some really cool features.

    The add-on possibilities looked good, since it had two power pads on the back with a magnet, and wireless USB interface.

    You could mag click on adapters to add hardware.

    I had the 360 video camera add on, and the company folded before I had a chance to purchase the audio DAC headphone add on.
