The good ol' days are still alive and well for me since I'm cheap and my upgrade time just rolled around recently... I'll get the Galaxy S2 pretty soon and will be glad to be rid of this wretched thing. Every update I downloaded was slower and more unstable than the last, and now I'm stuck with a phone that only works when it feels like working (and takes its time doing so). Rebooting is an hourly ritual. I haven't seen my Facebook news feed in 6 months. I'm out of memory and can't download apps anymore. On the plus side, finding out I actually have a data connection is like getting a Christmas present (it's rare) and I have plenty of time to meditate while I'm waiting for text messages to load (I have to delete my messages every week or two or that app becomes so slow I can't even type in it).
This thing almost turned me completely away from Android. I'm not sure if it's cute because it's one of the first Android phones and is early tech or if it's just a piece of garbage. It feels a lot more like the latter these days. It works about as well as I'd imagine a 486 would with Windows 7.
I guess I'll always look back on this and laugh. It's hard to even remember the fact that I was just thrilled to have a smartphone and didn't care how slow and horrible it was
