My first smart phone was a Samsung Blackjack. A friend had one and realized it didn’t work with his carrier. We have it to me since I had AT&T. The cellular radio would malfunction at time. But once I got it repaired, it was a great phone. After that I replaced it with a Blackjack II and a Jack. I did play around with friends Blackberries and Android phones, but i never took a liking to them
Wow, in 2005, I received the Windows Pocket PC powered O2 Xda II, as a gift, boy was I blown away, I literally had a PC in my pocket, I could create documents on my phone and finish them on my PC, even then I knew this was going to be the game changer in the Mobile ecosystem…
Same here! I used the O2 XDA IIi for a couple of years, when more than half the world was using black and white feature phones. Now that was a device!
Thanks for the memories!
