Where’s my flying car and my dinner consisting of three different coloured pills?
This will never take off
It’ll never catch on.
I’m watching a 4:3-filmed video (probably), cropped to 16:9 “widescreen”, edited for a portrait device with a title added, displayed in a square reddit video with another title added on a 16:9 computer monitor. Technology.
Twenty texts a day!? Woah, slow down there.
Amazing.
RIP Nokia
No mention of how long it took to send an MMS or the fact it cost like £1.50 per photo or something ridiculous

Yes but has it got snake? Having a naff phone without snake on it was a crime worthy of being ostracised in the playground back in the day.
I remember being in sixth form when the first phone that had snake *in colour* came out. That was the peak of human progress right there.
I’m not even that old and I had an LG Chocolate and getting gassed when I got a Nokia N95. Sending songs over infared in the bus was a rite of passage for us
Tbf it was mobile data, messaging apps (so you didn’t have to use expensive MMS), a better phone camera that caused it to take off 😆
Anybody have any good polyphonic ringtones they recommend?
I love that they called it a ‘craze’. We don’t seem to have them anymore.
I recall spending about £1k a month of my Navy salary on texts and mobile data in 2001/02. Can’t recall which network but I spoke to them once and they told me I was a top tier customer and could upgrade to any device at anytime. Having ‘a girl in every port’ sure became expensive once letter writing died out.
looking at my phone now and I haven’t texted anyone since Sunday!
The Nokia 7650, the first phone I felt was gadgety enough for me to spend my money on

This is hilarious. I found this 2002 report from their website:

ETA: Well, it didn’t take long: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2116070.stm](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2116070.stm)
The phone makers never expected it to take off.
This diabolical gadget has no future.
