Android is my favorite currently, but when I was growing up it was Symbian, comparing it to java it was miles ahead with way more advanced capabilities!
Damn this makes me feel old. I’m from before phones had OS.
Growing up? Oh no I’m old!
hahaha
You make me feel so old, dude. My first handheld device was a Pocket PC in 2000, and I was already grown up by then.
my first handheld was the classic gameboy haha
Oh lol, well if that counts, then mine too!! I was thinking general-purpose device comparable to a modern smartphone.
thats so cool… it ate so many batteries though and didnt even have backlight haha still love it, and especially the opening nintendo sound
My favorite music was the end-credits music of SuperMarioLand. I would play through the whole game just to hear it, and then keep it going on infinite loop until it ran out of battery.
i loved its for sure too! thats cute hahah
I was all over Dialtone 1.0. That was rad, really responsive. Pick that bad boy off the wall and it was ready to go! Limited feature set tho 😆
Palm OS was ahead of its time as well. It’s a shame that they couldn’t adapt fast enough to keep their relevance.
Though I grew up in the age of feature phones. The Razor was all the rage. Man, it was so thin.
i am so surprised i have never heard of it, but i keep seeing it in this thread

Palm OS, hands down.
never heard of it, very interesting!
They had some really impressive devices in the early 2000s. You had to dock it to your PC and sync all your stuff to it, kinda like an iPod but for emails and documents. Some of them even supported external keyboards!
oh wow this seems so cool!
My first was Symbian but my favourite will always be Windows phone. I still run square home launcher to get that familiar tile screen on my pixel 6 pro
Landline
Mine was a party line because we lived out in the country. I had to listen real careful for clicking sounds cause our neighbors could pickup and listen to our conversations.
@schizanon that’s unsettling!
oof…
Maemo and Windows Phone Metro.
oh wow i have never heard of maemo, sounds really interesting i will check it out!
There’s a modern-ish fork of it for PinePhone. I haven’t yet tried it, but I intend to!
