Ten years later; still works

Yeah. I want to find my old Razr again and put it back into service.

Why those things are unreliable and most of all easy to get hacked and you finding out 10 years later that you owe the bank $500k for overspending lol

Cyberdev, if you were talking about my comment about my Razr, I remember it being reliable (and I loved its deep maroon color!). I certainly can't say the same about every smartphone I have wasted money on since. Just my experience. Better yet, to make me happy, give me back a basic wired phone line in my apartment for reliability. It may have all been old technology, but at least it worked.

No I was replying to the OP lol

I should say that, first, it's not really usable - you cannot activate a phone this old on Verizon anymore (and it was a Verizon-only phone.) I had to airplane mode the phone to get it past the activation step (this phone is so old that the tap the four corners trick doesn't get past activation.) Second, yes, you'd have to be really, really desperate to use this as a phone or a smart device of any sort, even if you could activate it. (I was actually amazed that I could log into a Google account - if I were Google, I think I'd be blocking Eclair devices from actually connecting at this point.)

Just pointing out that ten years after it was released, the thing still actually works.

Believe it or not, this thing still 'works'.
It is analog only, so that is why I had to quit using it.
Motorola made some tough equipment.

This thread makes me want to post a pic of my OG Droid that's still rocking to this day as my daily alarm clock.

I love that it still works, but yes, not actually *usable* by todays standards. HTC was a beast, and I wish it still was.... :'(

I still have my OG Incredible.... I wonder if it boots up still
