...the world you grew up in no longer exists.
>>526142965Kinda similar though. The change didnt happen over night. Im 42
>>526143043It’s a grotesques parody. I’m 44. Two more years.
>>526142965Time is accelerating.
>>526142965W880i was the best phone I've ever had
The world I was always forced to interact with against my will? Yeah I don't miss it really
>>526142965Yeah. No phones with dials wired to the wall.
>>526143087Depends on where you're from I suppose.
>>526142965I used to have that phone
>>526143135Getting all warm and fuzzy seeing this old badboy. Remember my mind being blown away when i found Java GBC emulator on the early internets for these phones, sitting in recess playing pokemon crystal on my goddamn phone.
>>526143513*mogs you*
It does in our minds. The trick is to never talk about before times so the algo can't use the data. All these generational divide and conquer threads and millennial nostalgia posts are used to build databases. The algo can only go back so far. It needs to steal you analog memories as it's running out of data sources. Remember to tell d/c shills to fuck off.
>>526143129The niggers at CERN actually did manage to spawn in a micro-black hole back in 2010 or w/e they fired it for the first time!We're being spaghettifiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>526143790Those were only practical when phone numbers were 4 digits long.
>>526142965I hate iphones I hate bmw'sI hate the north face jacketsI hate Columbia jacketsI hate labubu slopI hate tiktokI hate any pink productI hate social media
Nice phone youve got there. Better throw it out so you can get harassed by facebook notifications and glowies can find your exact location.
>>526142965I just realized that I have zero memory of my first mobile phones. They must have been utter crap.
People say the yearn to retvrn to 90s/early 2000s in just nostalgia and wanting to be a child again. To be honest yes that does come into it a little. And it's not that everything was perfect then. But it was still objectively better than today.
you can still buy them right now though
>>526143573I remember wanting this phone for months and then when I finally got it the slider mechanism fucked up so I had to hold it in a certain way for it to function. Then a year later I got the HTC Desire, which would prove to be the beginning of the smartphone nonsense which has become a cancer on society.
>>526143790Get on my level Goy.
>>526146256Ahoy-hoy
>>526142965It can if you want it to. Subvert expectations. Reject modern slop technology. Read more. Grow your own food. Invest in physical media
>>526143513I got this phone for my 12th birthday. Peak 00s phone. I’ve been considering buying one but I don’t think it will work with my sim
>>526142965>my mp3 player phone now has a bigger screen and can do other thingsits over
Would any of these phones still work?
>>526143513I had this in the white color and got pokemon yellow from a guy at school. but really these old phones sucked ass, even writing a text message is a million times better on a touchscreen.
Everything downhill from here
>>526146496Your MP3 player now tracks you, serves you ads, and can be used to plant kompromat on you. It actually is over.
>>526146210I also got this phone, I remember it was being called the best phone ever made by many websites. it only cost like 400 usd too. nowadays the best phones cost a shitton.
>>526146508not if they only use 1G and 2G networks in a region where those networks no longer exists
Millennium era tech gadgetry was so kino
I had this one until I dropped it in the ocean
>>526147043
>>526146496the only change in a smartphone since it came out was the ever increasing spywareeven worse, your new toy can do less things than the old one
>>526143573>messages your gf on bbm
>>526146962My mp3 player is still a Tungsten E
>>526147112We gotta go back
idc+I live better than before
>>526142965My good old Gaming machine.Those java games was a blast.Galaxy on fire 3DAbyss 3DOrcs & elfsHeroes lore zero , wind of soltia Gothic And this was a tip of the iceberg
>>526143135Overhyped.V630i was the peak
>>526146508Not really.1 and 2 G networks are dead and now within a few years the 3G is gonna die for good.
>>526142965Ahhhhh. My first phone was a C510.Sony Ericsson had THE nicest dumphone software ever. Shit was so good.I even remember seeing some people using the speakers that came with the walkman phones.>>526146210I went with samsnug instead for android, still regret that. HTC was the brand back then. One of them did have an Ericsson chipset though that was quite good.
>>526147169She was using Nokia because she was White. You might've been texting ur mum by mistake, m8.
>>526147169Blackberry should have been the archetype for smartphones.
>>526143129No it isn't. You can control your perception of time. You can slow it down and live a long life.
>>526142965I grew up when there was still respect for the Constitution and the rights of free citizens. Now the government can manipulate and destroy your life and just claim national security when you complain. People have no idea what we gave up because of the retarded shit 4 brains that destroyed our rights
faggots bought nokia (the apple of its day)chads bought sony ericsson
>>526145012north face makes pretty good jackets, or at least they used to, I've still wear the same two north face products (fleece and shell) that I got in 1999
>>526146948hail fellow treo chad, I miss 2004 so much it drives me insane sometimes
>>526142965Is changing and has always been changing, only the pace is different. We are entering warp 1 speed.
>>526147112The ones that still work are expensive If you can find one They are collectors items
>>526148592Wow. Just looked at Orcs & Elves and it looks like a surprisingly nice dungeon crawler. For some reason, 2d gaming feels comfier on these smaller devices. Are there any modern phones that have kept the old style aesthetic?
>>526150667this, touch screens are shit for fast texting, I used to be able to walk and text at full speed on a backberry with one hand
>>526150895So did Arcpteryx and Patagonia before white women started wearing their shit to the mall.
I had the poorfag phone, still good
>>526142965Get with the times you little bitch
>>526151319Maybe the pixel dungeon.After the rise of the smartphones the mobile gaming started to fallen an endless slop hole.
>>526142965>...the world you grew up in no longer exists.and that's a good thingif you just want nostalgia, you can literally get the same phones / mp3 players for a few euros in a decent conditionbut in generalyou can get so much better stuff today (maybe not the mainstream bullshit)>>526143475that was my first phone
>>526151319Btw don't forget to try out the Doom RPG it was a good dungeon crawler game.
>>526142965Yeah, I grew up in a world without cellphones. You guys reminiscing about some old phone is comical. Imagine a time when you didn't need a phone connected to you like an umbilical cord and people could just function without staring at a phone all day
>>526151778>without staring at a phone all dayYou didn't stare at these phones all day though, it was just for the occasional text or call.
>>526142965These things sucked dude
as a zoomer those keyboards with only 9 keys seem obnoxious
>>526151623>>526151729Is modern mobile slop associated to any frameworks/languages in particular? Is Java where it peaked? I've started some game dev, mostly 2d, but I suffer from analysis paralysis due to the high number of options available. Obviously I have to make the right choice since it's impossible to walk back once you're too far into production. I've thought about Monogame, Love2D, Raylib, Pygame, etc.But now I feel that game dev specifically for mobile is a nice solution because there are less options to choose from, igen? What else is there besides Java and Phaser?
>>526150351Had a couple of E61s. Now that was the best phone ever.
>>526152876Those days it was the java program what it used to mobile game (in precise J2ME or another name Java ME)It has it's own limitations but it was the most soulful language to build a game on mobile.Nowday's the program codes are changed and the java becomes obsolete.We had hundred times of better program languages but the soul output and the jeet influence crashed the whole thing.That's why the old Gaming was the best gaming.
the salad days
>>526152807>keyboards with only 9 keysNumpad...
>>526153333It was cranky and bit hard to used to it but in the end it gived us the best experience what people can feel.
>>526153275If you had to develop a mobile game today, what framework would you use?
>>526142965It was all a dream. Still is.
>>526142965Back in the day, there was a company called Danger that made the baddest mobile phone with a swivel screen. Countless of times I felt like a chad when bitches contact me and I flick my wrist and out like a batarang my screen kicks out and I am typing with two thumbs accurately with lightning speed on my native AOL client app. It had an infrared port like a christmas decoration. Sidekick had the best default tones that would blare off when I was still dating and fucking my wife. She laughed at me with my sidekick mogging me with her fucking iphone. Then she bought me an iphone because she couldnt be seen with anything less. The rest is history. I still fuck and lick that pussy more than twenty years after. Thanks Danger for making me feel like a chad. See case agents, its not all TKD and doom and gloom. There are gems like these. Fuck you for the temp ban jannies that wasnt fair!
>>526153501It depends on your goal.For vn like it's renpyC# (with Unity) for 2D, 3D, and AR games(Unreal Engine) for high-performance 3D games.Take my opinion with a grain of salt.I'm really beginner in this field.
>>526142965Only real ones remember the kiosks...
>>526146870i could write a qwerty text message novel under my desk and send without even looking at the screen. cant do that in class with a touch screen
>>526142965That's kinda good. I only miss the internet that wasn't censored and corporatized to shit.
>>526153779Man, I hate Unity to its core. I say this as someone used with code focused frameworks.
>>526142965OLDCEL THREAD..............
>>526153112It was, I liked E52 a bit more, because of how small and handy it was for normal private use every day.
>>526145962everything was soulful then
>>526143135I had k550i
>>526151435its actually not i have blackberries and other physical keyboard phones i play around with typing on them is way slower than touch screen not as nice though i love that feel of blackberry keys there is this chink company who has made motherboard replacements for the blackberry classic which run android i have one preordered pretty excited for it https://zinwa.cn/
>>526151727Apple lost all real proprietary uniqueness that was its claim to fame, old ipods were actually neat tech.
>>526153333i still get ebooks like this irc is the only good source for them kek
>>526148592>GothicWhat?
>>52615671516-bit looks perfect with CRT Royale NTSC S-Video.Just soft enough to round every pixel as the CRTs did at the time, and just sharp enough to see every detail at the same time.I fucking love it. N64 looks better that way too.
>>526157373crt shaders are gay just buy a crt
>>526142965Yea, we got older and aged past silly child things
>>526150788I bought siemens :)
>>526151483Ah yes I remember downloading 3mb 45x45 pictures of scantly dressed women 100kb at a time. Slow connection on these phones were the starting point of edging
>>526142965No shit.
RIP.
>>526157434My housing situation is gay, a flat panel will have to do.

>>526157947It's more the having to move soon part.There'll be a cunthole ray tube in my next house and it'll be tittytron.
>>526158051Thanks m8anon
>>526142965I always thought this phone looked kino. For me, it was the Nokia N81. I have my old one and it still boots up
You now remember playing japanese pokemon roms in this thing 20 years ago
>>526158058Was a good year.
>>526147169i still have my nokiathe only made in finland product i've ever hadmy hands turned autistic and chubby when i touched it
>>526153753your image is god damn low res, phone faggot
>>526158092dont get a trinitron get a good jvc/panasonic theyre way better imo the best JVC models H1400PN / H1300SU / H2000PN, Panasonic H1390YN / BTM2090Y / M1950Y these ae all the same despite being labelled jvc and panasonic usually cheaper because people dont onions out about them like sony for some reason idk why but theyre way better i went to some guys warehouse and tried out a bunch of different sony ones when getting mine and found the JVC to be the best
for me it's the Motorola V8good times but I don't really feel the -algia in this nostalgia. I accept that it's gone and I'm grateful I got to experience it
Good news boomers! For $79 you can have your sliding mechanical keyboard back!It also improves your battery life so your phones battery last as long as it used to in the good old days!
>>526159250i was the asshole with the xperia and droid and the likea comfortable keyboard, not that shitty blackberry thing
>>526142965I remember the blackberry phones with the full keyboard and BBM chat which wasnt a zogged glowie shithole. Now I can barely type on these faggot ass touch screens and kikes have access to all my chat logs
>>526159408I miss real buttons.
>>526158058>dat armitron up top
>>526147112i miss this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>526142965I still own and use a golden age Samsung flip-phone as my primary cellphone, miss me with that permanently connected to the internet touchscreen normadrone goyshit
>>526157769I've still got a number of those little Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 booklet guides from magazines next to my stack of old games
best phone i ever had
there are zero (0) phones with a physical keyboard on the market in 2026, all the models with that feature were retired several years ago. isn't that peculiar?
>>526159624i actually used this one the other day for pokemon channel interested about the cheat numbers tho did you ever call any i wonder if it was phone sex with cheats and thats why they have a different number for under 16s.. babestation with cheats maybe kek
>>526143135I miss when phones were small and the assumption was they'd get smaller.A phone should be a phone and nothing more.
>>526159513buttons and battery lifegood timessaw a few small scale recent ones but it seems no large company is interested in that form factor any more :(
>>526142965You can still buy this you fool. But you won't. Right? You just want to bitch.
>>526159666I broke that thing within a month.
>>526159709Don't worry boomer! They are releasing one just this year. Plus, a sliding keyboard you can use for any phone! Finally the glory days are back! Maybe my wife will come back too now...https://youtu.be/69VgtIJOtdQ?si=WMZ-xbg7ubCxyP2x
>>526143129Full Speed. Buckle up.
>>526159709there are a few this one has just launched https://clicks.tech/en/communicator unihertz also makes a new blackbery clone every year o so https://www.unihertz.com/pages/new https://www.unihertz.com/products/titan-2in general physical keyboards are just worse than having a full size smartphone theyre niche/novelty so the big phones brands arent gonna make them
>>526159876stop sitting on your phones, fatboy. i had mine for like 3-4 years
>>526142965Nor does yours.Where do you think apocalypse cults keep coming from?Worlds end and are ending all the time.
>>526142965I don't miss that world. I remember doing all sorts of weird things to make it do what I wanted it to.I call infrequently so even flipping the phone closed isn't appealing either.
REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU
>>526159876two main issues with 'JuSt BuY oLd ThInG LOOL'no new batteries for themoutside of specific high power models there are no modern codebases for themi would still be using my droid v4 if the battery hadn't died
>>526143573>*mogs you*u wot m8
>>526159709why do you say peculiar?
>>526159949in general blackberry nub keyboards are shitphysical keyboards are superior to that and touchscreensdon't conflate the two, blackberry sucks
THEY TOOK THIS FROM YOU
>>526160236the nomad was way cooler than the game gear
>>526160236enh, they can keep that onehow many batteries did this thing put into landfill lol
>>526153333i remember downloading porn from the sexnet in IRC
>>526160182what do you mean by physical? like this? i have one of these devices its shit to type on kek
>>526159717I remember phoning one when I was young, guy on the other end was useless and sounded half asleep wanting me to hang up asap. Probably stoned off his box kek. What a great job.
COME HOME WHITE MAN
>>526160327yes but i tried to avoid the pop switch thing, get one with actual buttons
still got mine
>>526160559Rockbox Sansa Clip was the mp3 player that should've been the default.
>>526151483That was my second phone after k300i
the sony eric x1i is my gold standardit's still in good condition tooshame about the battery, and being windows mobile
>>526147112>>526150788These look ace. Buttons seem to force actual aesthetic design, rather than just having a flat screen with a black back.
>>526151435>touch screens are shit for fast textingAgreed. Nothing beats a tactile interface for typing. Also, "studies show" tactile interface is quicker.If we can't get rid of the FAGMAN AIDS infesting modern phones, it would at least be nice if they made models with built-in keyboards.
I miss texting girls in microsoft excel, zoomers wouldn't know the struggle.
>>526146948Fuck bro, the treo 650 was peak. I had one of these and it was so awesome. Used this in high school and faggots would make fun of me. Little do they realize they would all be using iPhones. >>526150971This and the windows mobile phones of that era were so good. Then they got shitty. Blackberry held out while iOS and android ruined everything
the sidekick was the meta before the iPhone.
Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on modern flip phones like picrel?
>>526160662completely forgot about this
>>526160758companies don't want the manufacturing costs of making hundreds of millions of little buttons. its infinitely cheaper to do it on screen
>>526161112kinda want onecurrently using ye olde nokia how portable are the hardware drivers tho, i'd be wanting rid of all that google shit before i use it
>>526156467>E52The microUSB was nice. Also 600mhz, think that's the fastest S60v3 was ever on, rather an odd phone to do that on.
>>526161533
>>526142965Every threshold point where technology advanced significantly has cause equally significant societal changes. There is an animal analogy for how it works, technology is like an ambush predator, it will sit still for a while but when it pounces the situation changes dramatically, society is more like a prey animal it just meanders around a field sniffing each others farts but when a predator pounces "the herd" takes off running, sometimes coherently but many times they will disperse chaotically, some lag behind the others, some going off in entirely different directions, and regardless of whether or not the predator scores a kill (paradigm changing tech breakthrough) the herd of society will remain in chaos until they all regroup in a different field, only its more chaotic when a kill is scored. But, sometimes they dont, sometimes the herd gets scattered so much that it results in that herd permanently breaking into new herds.
>>526142965>...the world you grew up in no longer exists.YesYou are correctNokia was pushed out of the US because they wouldnt bend the knee and backdoor their software for glows so they were kicked out of the JewNited States of JewMericaAll you get is a ticking time bomb Apple or Samsung, both of which are backdoored by the glows
>>526162269Enough waxing philosophical, every paradigm change has caused both good and negative societal changes. When the new paradigm was something like ocean faring vessels, those changes likely werent as drastic as we see today but they still occured, and it is likely that the men of those times did see them as quite drastic. The problems which have arisen are not new, not by any means, if you search for ancient primary sources you will find the same grievances back then as /pol/ has now. The difference is the form that they take, ancient pedos were just as deranged as today's pedos but they did not have the ability to groom any given child on the fucking planet. There have always been troons, there have always been commie subversives, etc, but they could not so readily connect with other filthy minded fuckers, and when they did try to spread their filth they always ran the risk of simply being beaten to death. But, every advantage that societal rot has gained has also been gained by decent people. The problem is that trouble makers are going to cause trouble and decent people tend to avoid trouble. Or rather, that avoiding trouble is confused with preventing trouble, it becomes "if I just focus on myself everything else will sort itself out eventually", but that doesnt work, it becomes obvious that it doesn't work and then decent people eventually realize that nothing is going to sort itself out unless the rot is excised. We are arriving at that point. It feels like we should have already been there a decade ago, but that train is still pulling into the station. It will arrive and when it does there will be a reckoning.
>>526143790
>>526143790I remember when I was 8 and felt so smart being able to use one of those.
>>526162301a lot of noise is made, mainly by richoids, about how terrible societal collapse is but likerome's still thereitaly still has a human populationthe inevitable collapse of an over centralized government doesn't magically wipe out people and culturelike these retards have bought their own hype and forget that 'king' is just a jobpeople can always get a new oneas if the global logistics network of humanity is gonna just shut down overnight because empire a or b crumbles inwards, lol
>>526142965I create the world I live in so I'm not worried. I can go retro, innawoods, comfymaxx if I want.
>>526160343Kek I think I had the black one as my first cell phone around 2002 or 2003...KekIt was just for emergencies... to call home in case of severe need.And then one time for no reason "we" discovered that the girls were texting each other all the time and so were the sms born for me and most of my colegues.Because the girls were texting each other all the time instead of using the cellphones for emergencies only like all our parents told us too.By the way, back then one sms actually cost 5 to 10 cents.
>>526150758Explain.
Had this one from the year it came out (2007) all the way to 2019. It's all I ever needed if it were up to me. Then the 2020s came and it's nearly impossible now to do anything without a modern smartphone in this country. Even my job requires me to clock in and to clock out through a fucking app. Not to mention MitID, the government run app that connects to every facet of daily life. Pay the electricity bill? MitID. Do your taxes? MitID. Read your mail? MitID because physical mail doesn't exist anymore in Denmark since 31st December 2025. You WILL use the goyphone (24/7 spy device) and you will be happy
>>526145962I didn't even live through those times and it's just obvious they were better in near every conceivable way.Every time you bring this up to anyone who shills modern living, it's evident that this is the case, because the only thing they ever say about it is:>Yeah but people were really homophobic back then
>>526158859You only replied because of my dig on the kikes. Fuck off Israel will not exist.
>>526142965I was born in 2006
>>526156912I can always tell when someone typed on their blackberry even if you had tactile keys like the sidekick. The keys were too close to accurately type at the speed that I was typing. I know. I use to maintain blackberry enterprise servers. Constantly misspells because of shitty design.
>>526157351
>>526142965The bible says not to love the world. This world is as gay as it is doomed.
>>526142965...the world you grew up in no longer exists.>this is true for literally every single generation of humans since the start of time quit being a bitch about it
>>526142965Fuck these were so cool, and flip phones. When I got my first slide phone as a kid I was so happy about it. Might be just me but even technology is lame and gay now like everything else, nothing good or interesting is being made.
>>526159595God damn, had exactally one of these. Never truly learned how to text with these kind of phones desu
>>526160110Tbh if Nokia decided to go with just android instead of their own OS when making Lumia series it honestly would have a decent chance of take over a moderate portion of low-end smartphones market.Lumias were cheap, very repair friendly, you could swap batteries by just popping off the case, you could swap cases for different colors whenever you wanted.I liked mine but god damn it that OS was a total disaster.
>>526163536lurk moar
>>526162780You have to do new things as often as possible.
>>526143135Why does cool of better products often lose to worse less cool options in captialism?
>>526151727The deaf of the iPod is genuinely sad to me. Cellphones desu always were shit, until iPhone broke the mold. But the CD player through iPod era was magical.
>>526164261if you still have one laying around and wanna fuck with it you can install desktop windows 10/ 11 on some of them kek
>>526163232I lost my virginity in 2006.It was a good year for both of us.
