So, what was your very first smartphone if you have had one?

My first was the Nokia 7650 on SymbianOS used to love that thing even with its VGA camera, 1st gen Bluetooth and tiny non upgradable 4MB storage.

It's funny to think now that it was considered a smartphone since these days even the cheaper feature phones do more... How about you lot?

My first smartphone was the iPhone 4. Back then it was a tremendous device.

Now it still is (for me at least).

Mine was a Samsung Galaxy Apollo (or Galaxy 3) which I had until last July when I bought my lovely Galaxy Nexus. Bought it from my old boss who'd just upgraded her phone for £40 or so. It had minimal app storage (about 200mb iirc), and ran Android 2.1 (also known as feckin' slow). I did a huge amount of messing with it to make it much nicer. My little sister is currently using it very lightly (this will be hard to believe but my 16 year old sister does very little phone use. Barely carries it with her most of the time)

KC910. Got it in 2010 and then got the Motorola Defy on contract a few months later.

Bought my friend's Blackberry Storm in 2009 which was an upgrade of sorts from my Sony Ericsson K800i. I used to imagine Blackberry being "cool" because it was always the tool of choice amongst business professionals but the Storm was like a crash course in owning a smartphone. The apps selection is almost non-existant. There was no Wifi and my house couldn't pick up 3G signals because it was in a fairly rural area so browsing was out of the question. It felt like a device rushed to cash in on the iphone's introduction and it probably was.

Then I bought an HTC Sensation after that and never looked back.

Mine was the Samsung Dart. It was A HUGE improvement over my previous phone. The only good thing about that old phone was that people thought it was a Blackberry.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
