    Yeah I remember those days too. Hell my first phone was analog, but by then you could buy minutes. It was a flip phone and I buy the minutes as I needed them. My first phone that could text was the Nokia. You know one that couldn’t ever break.

    But my fondest memory was when I got my first phone that had some form of the web on it. That was still in the days when you paid for text messaging.

      I think the 3310 had the biggest reputation for being impossible to break.

      Most of the Nokia phones were pretty durable.

      Early Web on the feature phones was generally useless. It took forever to load anything and most of the content wouldn’t render correctly if at all.

      It was a wild time

        Yeah but watching a grainy 30 second clip on a filpphone at the time was crazy cool. Even if looked like shit.
