День томуYou remember Nokia for the legendary 3310 that no one could break, or for the Nokia N95 that had all the features (before having-all-the-features was a thing). But you might not remember that, for a few years in the mid-oughts, while The Killers were killing the Billboards and Google was first going public … Nokia was going a little bit crazy.
Yep, it's time for another episode of When Phones Were Fun - and this time MrMobile's rose-tinted glasses are focused on some of the strangest mobile devices ever to hit store shelves. From the vase-like Nokia 3650 to the leaf/eyeball/alien artifact Nokia 7600, some of the craziest cellphones of the noughties came straight out of Espoo ... and thanks to a generous loan from friend of the channel (and Nokia collector) Martin, those phones spend this entire video under the lenses of Michael Fisher's stay-at-home studio.
Join me for "When Phones Were Fun" Episode 4: a throwback retro tribute to a time when Nokia's weird phones helped set the tone for a new generation of smartphones!

[ABOUT WHEN PHONES WERE FUN - AND NOKIA WAS CRAZY]
This is the fourth in a series of MrMobile episodes exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2009.
When Phones Were Fun: Episode 4 features the Nokia 3650, Nokia 3660, Nokia 7600, Nokia 6820, Nokia 6600, Nokia 7710, and Nokia 7650, all on loan from friend of the channel Martin's private collection. No company paid a fee or otherwise offered compensation in exchange for this coverage, nor did any company preview or approve this content before publication.

No it got famous because it had everything that you need and doesn't look like a child's toy. Yes Nokia was fun, but for a few days. iPhone was a perfect combination of size, usability, features, design and software support.
@rvnx 21 день тому
@@arkodeepsen3627 The iPhone, at launch, barely offered anything more than the Nokia/Sony Ericsson phones at the time. It actually offered much less. It had a 2MP Camera, no expandable storage, no App Store, you couldn't even do basic things like changing your wallpaper. It was more of a dumbphone than a smartphone. Meanwhile, the K850i released the same year gave you a 5MP + VGA selfie camera setup with expandable storage, 3G Video calling, 3.5G Internet browsing and a plethora of features. The only thing the iPhone had going for it (and still does) was its software and pre-existing ecosystem.

I remember going to my neighbor's house and her husband had this monster (Nokia 6600) chilling on the dinner table back in 2004. I was with my father and brother, and when I saw it I screamed & I kept telling them don't you know what this is? It's the greatest phone in existance, it's super expensive! And they looked at me weird like ok so what? I was the only one hyped as fuck, I couldn't believe my eyes what I was seeing, I was only 11 years old. After 3-4 years I was able to buy an used 6600, but at that point it wasn't as popular, the price dropped significantly and nobody cared about it haha, but I cared A LOT, I was so happy I had it, and I still feel sad that I sold it later on. God what an impact that phone made on me, the design, the feel in the hand, the placement of the buttons, the fact that it was so wide.... That device made a statement when you saw it, it was very destinctive and unique, it stood out so much from the rest of the phones that were out, in my opinion to this date its the greatest design of a phone ever. Even now when I just see a picture of that device I get a tingly feeling that reminds me of the best times in my life, a feeling I will never be able to describe with words unfortunately.. Miss those days

Had the 7650 myself in the UK when I was about 16. Needless to say the ability to shoot video (10secs worth), view webpages and boot up Doom on it was absolutely mind blowing to me and my friends. I also had a Samsung P300 (the calculator phone) a few years after that, which although more simple, you'd probably like from a design perspective. I'd love to send you it to review, but a girlfriend lost mine back in 2007.

I don't miss the flaky hardware but there was so much about the little Pre that nobody else was doing. From the magnetic Touchstone induction chargers to the elegance, multitasking and universal search of webOS... so much of what was introduced on that platform was ahead of its time and ultimately worked its way into Android and even Apple that those of us who remember can't help but wonder what would have happened if...

Paul Aldo, I personally think that Symbian was better than Android back then, I mean it has so much potential, even with such inferior specifications it can run many apps at the same time way better than android, it even can run Phyton. Android only feels good lately with the major specs bumps. Not even to mention Maemo OS. God, Nokia just too early to abandon its own OS. Nokia just needs to adapt the new touch UI interface and convince the devs to port their apps to Symbian. Nokia could take on both Android and iOS with its own self but sadly it fell for Windows Phone. Sadly everything can only be remembered as a sad tragedy in the smartphone industry. As a result, we stuck with Both Android or iOS, Apple vs Samsung vs Other Chinese brands.

I remember how incredibly annoying those phones were as someone with a hearing impairment! Boyfriends and my parents kept buying me phones which I never charged and never remembered to carry. At first, I would send a text but people answered text with a call back. When I didn't answer the phone and didn't check my voicemail, they'd nag. It wasn't until the advent of the smartphone, that phones became relevant. Not that having a smartphone meant I suddenly started answering my phone or calling people. Just that they had the ability to check what time places opened, helped me find restaurants, bus schedules, check flight departure time, had information that I wanted on me when I was out. When people saw me using it and not just leaving it at home, they started to learn if they answered a text with a text, I'd answer.

My very first phone that introduced me to the world of Bluetooth technology and video recording and playback was the Nokia 6820 1:58. I loved how it had the foldout keyboard. Phones back then were so unique with personality , unlike most cell phones of today, which is just a screen with a bunch of cameras on the back. I know that cell phones didn't offer as many features back then, but they still managed to stand out from one another in styling. If you were to lay a bunch of modern smartphones on a table with the screens turned off, you wouldn't be able to hardly tell one phone from the other at a glance. This wouldn't have been the case back in the day, because of the uniqueness that cellphones once had.

As someone that loved phones since a kid and spent half of every year in the US, the US did get most of the same phones we did, I saw all the same cool Nokias and even Sony Ericssons that we did. The issue was that Americans didn’t want them so they didn’t sell well. I remember being excited to see what different American phones were on sale in RadioShack, Best Buy and other smaller stores, just to see the same things we had. Even the N95 8GB, which was very popular here in the UK, sold terribly in the US and was on sale everywhere. On the other hand, we didn’t have an equivalent to any of the Sidekicks over here arguably until the N97, which I always wish we did.

@2727daqwid 3 роки тому
ukposts.info/have/v-deo/hH16qI-jmJeZp2Q.html Now watching this video I remember they had those fancy holographic cutouts for it too, so the back and front was "animated" when looking at different angles. This was to me probably the best phone ever made, since I always liked to have different colors of phones as a kid. I actually wish the back plates of today's phones would be replaceable too, or even just made like the 3200. Dbrand is kinda doing that, but stickers on the phone are not as premium as putting something under a case.
@frankbacon1002 3 роки тому
True and also not true, the plastic IS a cheap feeling, lame material, its just that the reason it was used was a utilitarian one. That being said, plastic is actually pretty good for mobile devices, however modern smartphones aren't really treated as such by consumers or companies (which is why they ALL fare infamously horribly upon the slightest drops). They're used more like mini PCs than like actual phones, which is the reason they got so large and glassy in the recent years, carrying it around outside is literally quite often NOT the intended use case for them. Which is incredibly annoying to anyone who actually uses their phone outside of their bed or their table. Like i broke EVERY SINGLE smartphone i have EVER owned, the recent glass trend not making it easier on me at all lmao
