wow looks so 1980s~!

 

hahaha! yeah!! I remember using the old school VM phones. I was really into them when they had the weird names like Oystr and Perl and stuff like that.

I remember I had one like the pic you showed, and they released a phone with a full keyboard and i was drooling over it, but the plan was ridiculous. 5 cents a text or something and even more per minute. ended up paying 40-50 a month with light usage.

Then I went to a Sidekick III and stuck with sidekicks until the Danger team produced Android, and now look where we are.

oh, i remember catching a lot of shit for owning Sidekicks when blackberries were the phone to get. now all those same people are on Android phones and im like, "yeah, all these android features began in Sidekicks.... you missed out." hahah

 

Not off topic at all, as you segue the whole thing nicely as a prelude to the Motorola Triumph - Android Forums.
