W-what is it /g/?
Nokia phone
It's a time travel machine. I wish..
I can hear it begging to be put out of it's misery. What foul monster engineered this poor machine?
I'm not OP. What is this /g/?

>>51611081
Shit I feel pretty old now. I used to sell those when they first came out. Interesting fact, those were still heavily in use until smart phone cameras got really good. Real estate agents love those things.
>>51610069
Literally a candy bar phone. Heard it was made to attract female nightclub goers
>>51610069
One of Nokia's "lipstick" phones. Not meant for EDC. Rather it was targeted at women for their weekend partying. It's slimmed down to two essential functions, camera for photos, and making phone calls by voice commands. Thus eliminating the need for the keypad.
>>51611061
>Implying that hitler was bad
>>51611081
Wait.
How can it write on the floppy, if the slider to get access to the magnetic disc is on the outside?
>>51609513
>>51610069
The good times when there were still phones looking weird and tech companies kept experimenting new stuff.
To be honest I quite like the design on OP picture.
looks like caramel bar.
>>51611081
I remember those.
>>51609513
It's a Nokia made when you were still a shitstain on your mommies panties

I owned one. It was glorious. A pain in the ass to use, but absolutely beautiful. I miss my eggplant phone.
>>51615919
I actually found texting on these was far better than a normal phone because of the way the buttons were layed out.
I also remember being fond of >>51609513 for similar reasons.
>>51615911
You know it.
>>51611739
>To be honest I quite like the design on OP picture.
I fucking had one, got given it for free. It was fucking horrendous, but it was the first 3G phone I had...
That keypad was fucking unusable.
>>51615871
It's a marketing picture, not an in use picture, you nonce.
>>51613060
>more expensive than a PC
Maybe they were at launch, but the 8th gen consoles are generally going to be cheaper than a similarly-performing PC.
But nobody buys a gaming PC to play on medium settings anyway.
>>51617069
I'm not an IV.
>>51614766
What is that? I'm in love with it, I don't care how useless it is by modern standards I can pretend I'm in a late 80s anime about giant robots
>>51617391
Remember when weeaboos watched that stuff instead of moeshit? What happened?
>>51609513
hope you had good childhoods too /g/
>>51617433
Robots were the moe of that generation

>>51609513
>>51614766
Now that is something I have never seen or heard of before.
anyone have one of these as a kid?
>>51622963
I had the original.
>>51623062
>>51622963
What the actual fuck are these knock off TIs?
>>51623293
not really. more like a pda.
>>51623062
oh shiiiiiit
I probably have my nuclear green one somewhere still. There was a mini-fad for these things when I was in junior high because the promotional team for them ran weird street events in our area and gave a whole shitload of them away for free. Kind of weird and dumb in retrospect but it blew our little minds.
It really is crazy how mobile technology has improved in such short time, from your regular wireless mobile telephone to your crazy experiments to this weird plateau with touch screens and stuff we have now. wonder how it'll be in 5 years.
>>51614766
you got me anon, haven't seen that shit in my life.
NES prototype design.
>>51613304
I had this bad boy. Loved s60
>>51614766

>>51614766
It's a shame that MiniDisc didn't take off. I'd have loved to have had an MD data drive on my PC.
>>51619122

They had shitty touch response anyway
i wanted this shit so bad
>>51623209
What if you have two moms
>>51623209
Oh shit! I remember that thing! I was so jealous when my friend at the time got one of those. Just gave me some feels with that.
>>51625673
Who the fuck names their kid Nick Bluetooth?
>>51613238

Symbian was awsum at the time
>>51624007

>>51623062
Ah, so you're the one.
>>51623293
Little PDA sized computer with wireless capability to communicate with each other. Came with a dev kit so you could develop your own applications.
One of my friends though it was going to be the next big thing. While I thought the idea of it was pretty neat, I knew it was going to dead in a year or two. I think they later released a second model.
>>51621024
My ex had this shit. Terrible phone...then again I probably had a razr at that time.

And you will never get it. Never fucking ever.
>>51611081
Wait, are those floppy disks, or zip disks?
>>51626290
Fucking lazy ass niggers will someone answer
While some of these older phones might seem strange, at least manufacturers were trying new and different things. Today, everything is just very slight variations on the same thing. Even PDA's, which were more like the smartphones of today, were trying different designs.
>>51625916
You can masturbate with your left hand.
>>51627156
It's kinda sad how smartphones became so capable. Now manufacturers won't make cool gadgets, they would rather just add features to smartphones. Also almost every smartphone looks the same so there's nothing aesthetically cool about them anymore.
Well at least there are smartwatches which have the potential to be cool in the future.
>>51611081
I've got one of those somewhere
Always wanted a Mylo for some reason. They ended up being Sony's PreSP.
Also, I miss Mini Disc. I had a MD player back when mp3 players only came in Fuckhuge HDD or pitiful flash sizes, with no respectable SD card sizes (2005-ish?) I hated Sony's soundstage software, but loved the hardware.
I've got one with the box and all the manuals and papers and shit, just need an ADB keyboard and mouse so I can throw some programs on it
>>51627386
forgot photo
>>51627202
Man these could have been so perfect. With a modern Atom / M the battery and performance would have been fine
Oh, and no fucking Windows Vista
>>51627304
I'd love to see some crazier stuff from the Chinks. These devices are all just slapping the same SOC / boards in a different shell, a mini laptop form factor would be tits
>>51623062
no because by that time I was doing real work on the go with a palm IIIc and not some kids toy
>>51623209
Always wanted one, but at $100 and a fucking expensive contract my parents thought it was shit.
Picked one up for $10 a few years later, never activated it though.
>>51628181
Cybiko:
- physical keyboard
- wireless communication built in
- dev kit included
Palm:
- no keyboard, had to learn special squiggles in order to enter text
- no wireless
- pay $$$ is you want to develop for it
>>51613238
Had one, first phone with really good camera.
i always thought it was the sort of thing you'd see on absolutely fabulous.
>what have you wasted your money on now, mum? you don't even know how to use a computer.
>this is an eVilla, sweety. it's going to revolutionize home computing, okay?
>>51623062
I had one too. Even remember having to do the battery cleanse and also ended up getting the mp3 player for it. It was ahead of it's time. Did you ever mess around with the networking feature? If you had a spare one you could setup wireless internet and email. I actually met a girl with one in junior high through the nearby chat feature :)
>>51626045
I remember mine had this weird phone while and at the time I had a HTC G1.
I guess it was kinda cute.
It's like Nathan Barley's phone, probably the basis of it too. 2005 was 10 years ago.
anyone else had this?
>>51629260

>>51629379

let's get weird
>>51609513
I think that was released around the time I ended up buying a Samsung phone instead. I can see how that might work with two hands but Nokia was just trying too hard; once you eliminated all their bizarre design experiments they might not have anything better to offer than the competitors.

>>51622273
wonder if you can play gta on that
>>51629587
those crazy russian bastards
I would have loved to see that shit
>>51629653
>trying an FPS with a gamepad
Yeah, no shit it felt weird.
Gamepads are for 2D games, fightan games, shooters, shit like that.
>>51615919
That was the first commercial video recording/teleconferencing phone, right?
Shit was a big deal at the time, but Celluar towers/data was still in its infancy.
>>51629411
pretty sure it's just a box you mount to the screen to use.
>>51622963
I had one of those, shit was so cash.
Never did get the MP3 accessory however.
>>51627304
The 90's/early 00's was the last great time for gadgets.
Now we live in the age of omni-glass slabs of varying computational power and features. I miss the age when companies tried to do something daring/interesting.

This.
Now it's "muh rectangles" and "look at our totally innovative curved edges and triangle buttons".
>>51629015
would be a good monitor for SHMUPs
>>51629178
I used to want one of these so fucking bad.
I was begging my parents for one the whole 8 month they made them.
>>51629178
It was a genuinely great concept, and the last time Microsoft tried something new. Didn't catch because of marketing reasons only. At least we got Windows Phone.
>>51630004
Not weird at all, would have been a genuinely awesome product if Microsoft had the balls to release it.

Ahh, so it basically was what Android is now.
>>51613238
This phone was da shite back then. Muh NES emulators and DivX/XviD playback.
>>51629914
True, but 90% of the reason why they don't do that anymore is mostly because people weren't buying, so when they (finally) found a design that people liked, they stuck to it.
>>51611717
The floppy is obviously not fully inserted
>>51630646
People are idiots.
If we listened to them, computers would have remained in companies to be used as workstations. No one would have believed some 20 years ago that 10 yos would soon spend their days glued to a computer.
Remember when youtubers hyped this shit?
>>51610069
Obviously a fancy designer Wii mote
>>51631258
I still remember the competition on cartoon network. It was whoever made the best video using the flip cam got some kind of prize but I dont remember what it was
>>51631258

>>51609513
I bought this phone.
Well, I put it on my Christmas list when I was 14 and my parents bought me one.
I remember it had about 50 minutes of video on it, which at the time was absolutely mindblowing as most phones had a max of 2-3 mins
>>51609513
I kind of miss Nokia's batshit crazy designs.

>>51627202
I would buy the HELL out of one of those, especially if one side was a touch screen with full phone capabilities.

>>51635168
How come DVI never really took off? Apple used it for a while but even then 99% of monitors on the market were VGA.
I like DVI, i think it has good ideas.
>>51635283
It pretty much took off on desktops, every nonshit LCD display had a DVI connector. HDMI is basically the same thing anyway but with copy protection and a new shitty plug.
>>51635266

>>51629884

>>51635373
VIA x86 CPU and chipset.

>>51635241
I didn't have that but I had something equally fun. A PDA with a keyboard and a touchscreen. Too bad it took some mystical water damage or something and repair shop said it would cost as much to repair it what I originally paid for it (it was second-hand).

You get a phone with a video recorder so you can post them on /gif/

That's not weird, that's a very accomplished piece of audio hardware. Zunes have been superior since iPods stopped using Wolfson DACs.
>>51635750
why did these fail? my techie friends from back in the day wouldn't shut the fuck up about these but we were only dumb kids back then and I neither understood nor cared about what they were talking about back then
>>51635803
Launched later that the ipod touch and yet had basically no apps, even though it was a windows CE device
>>51631258
When you consider the time they came out, video cameras meant either MiniDV, or the shitty video mode that still-cameras then offered.
They do pretty decent video though the focal length is pretty long. And the built in USB meant you could upload directly without having to look for cables or card readers. My friend also found he didn't have to do as much color correction to match the nicer, "real" Canon cameras we usually shot with, compared to some other cameras we'd use.

>>51634397
Mostly because if they showed it partially inserted the correct way, it would just be a weird, out of place looking square. The sliding door is what makes it truly identifiable as a floppy.
Most would see it and think, "cool, it uses floppies." Only when you sit and stare at it for a while do you realize it's probably the wrong way.
>>51623834

This is why they are called Thinkapds.
>>51637498
Just when someone calls your pager number it rings and displays the number that's calling and you then call them back from a phone
>>51637498
You basically get "this number called you" and then you run to the nearest payphone.
