Technology Themed Thursday! SMARTPHONES

The HTC Dream AKA T-Mobile G1

The first Android phone to hit the market back in 2008

I now have one.

By today's standards, it is nothing particularly special.

But by my own standards, it is amazing.

I got my first cellphone at age 18. A standard LG model. No texting.

Two years later I got my second phone. Standard LG. Unlimited texting. No data.

A little over a year after that I got my third. A Motorola. Standard. Piece of shit.

I got sick of it fast... so I jumped and bought this used phone.
BECAUSE I COULDN'T STAND BEING BEHIND THE TIMES ANYMORE.

It does enough to keep me happy. I still have no data, but I connect to wifi everywhere.

I have Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and whatever other apps.

I also have Game Boy emulators to play some Pokemon on the go (like REALLY on the go).

It lags... but I also haven't rooted it yet (to unlock and put a different interface on).

I just ordered a new case for it. It will be orange and black soon.

And I have the headphone adapter so I can play music in my car.

I like it.

Since then, the iPhone 4 is coming out, Windows has a phone, the G2 is coming out, Sony leaked a Playstation phone, THE 3DS IS SO CLOSE. It's whatev.

I'm still completely lost and drowned in all of the current technology.
But I hold onto other older technologies.
VHS and cassettes, Zip disk, the Virtual Boy....

Vintage. Retro. Classic. Nostalgia.

I have no way to wrap this post up.
I like my phone.
