SubwayGuy Posted March 30, 2010 Share #26 Posted March 30, 2010 Compared to current phones,any phone from 2000 to I say 2005 were basic but rock solid built phones.Todays phones are sooo computerized and sensitive if dropped. Yes that one was rock solid and built like a tank. I remember the 2nd phone I got I dropped from 3 feet up and destroyed the screen...the one time I actually bought technology insurance and used it to replace it. 2 weeks after getting the replacement I walked into a desk because some a-hole in school moved it as I was walking (not on purpose, but he's still an a-hole for it) and the front (not main) screen cracked. However, they have improved them since then. The one I have currently I am pretty happy with, don't know what I"m going to do when the contract is up in a few months.

Dan05979 Posted March 30, 2010 Share #27 Posted March 30, 2010 I don't remember my first cellphone. I do know that I've had the same cellphone number for just about 10 years. I've only had one other cellphone number. Before that I had like 10 different beepers. I used to be on Nextel for about five years or so. I was real happy when I finally dropped them. I've been with Nextel for 11 years now, and I really couldn't survive without the radio/phone option. I breifly switched to at&t when I got my iphone wich was one of the dumbest things I ever did and had switched back to nextel quickley. Yes you get alot of dropped calls with nextel especially when your driving around town, but I love it, and Its a life tool in my line of business. My first cell phone was the Motorola Startac. First Cell phone for the family was the old Motorola flip phone, it was fat and grey in color, carrier was cellular one. And my favorite beeper was my Motorola airtouch with the blue screen.

error46146 Posted March 30, 2010 Share #32 Posted March 30, 2010 imo the thing today is that some people forget what the main purpose of the telephone as alexander graham bell intended is: to make and recieve telephone calls where you talk to the other guy have a nice conversation and thats it. i think mr.bell would be shocked to see how many people's lives totally revolve around his invention way beyond just talking to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, people use handhelds for different purposes. Still doesn't make it not a phone. Last time I checked, a physical talk or end button has nothing to do with whether something is a phone or not. The times they are a changin' grandpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
