my first

That was my 3rd cell phone. I had that right after the StarTac Moto. This was the first phone I had a custom ringtone on. It was my freshman year of college. Me and some of the guys in the dorm found a website that would send you ringtones. And we aren't talking mp3 ringtones. We are talking monotone pre-polyphonic ringtones. LOL. Sometimes the sh!t would send no problem, other times we'd request the site to send a tone and that b!tch would never come. We'd be sitting there for a good while waiting for that damn ringtone to come through before somebody would be like "MAN.....send that sh!t again!!!". Good times. I had the Simpsons ringtone, Knight Rider, and a few other ones as well. YOU COULD NOT TELL ME SH!T when I was in class and that damn Black Rob Whoa or Ruff Ryders Anthem went off when somebody called. Everybody including the professor looking around like....


"How he get his phone to do that???"


I'm over there like "Hello? I'm in class right now....but I'll be over right after....."

15-20 yrs from now cats will look back at our current phones and make this same exact thread about them

more like 5 years from now

with Google Glass hitting the street by the end of this year......the era of the cell phone might be coming to an end

nikkas need to understand that technology advances exponentially.....that means that the next 5 years will see as much progress as the last 10.....the following 2.5 as much as the last 5......and so on

15-20 years from now......we'll probably have small nanobot computers implanted non-invasively into our brains allowing for direct brain to brain communication

shyt is about to get real weird in the next couple of decades

my first

Phone was fukking invincible. I remember dropping that bytch everywhere, forgetting it for days on end and the battery still being charged

I miss those days.

This phone right here tho.. bulky and huge, but it had that camera, it was godly. And the dual speakers! I swear this phone used to BANG, it had bass. One of my favorite media devices ever. I actually miss this phone alot

 

[Kuuuuush]

Treo was the shyt though. I remember walking back from a house party my freshman year of college ('04), seeing a Verizon based 600 just laying there on campus. I scooped it up on some stealth and activated for myself the next day. Breaking out the stylus in front of college girls was an instant win back then.

Although they were limited, I kinda miss how everyone was scrambling trying to do there own thing back then. Yea you had some copy cats, but you had a lot of unique shyt as well.

Clam phones

Candy bar phones

Rzr esque phones

Phones with full keyboards (I wanted a side kick so bad)

Video game phones

“Smart” phones

And everything in between. I would be on gsm arena and look at up coming phones all the time.

 

[Pifford]

[ORDER_66]

[Spaceman Piff]
