Imagine you were me in 2005 with an HTC 8125 that had a sliding keyboard with actual QWERTY keys, and I wake up to find that all “smart” phones are black slabs of glass that I’m suppose to poke at with my paws like some kind of animal.
I’ve since come to terms with the glass keyboard of my iPhone, but I maintain that it was not progress. Besides, the person in the story was only two years out from seeing an iPhone for the first time, like everyone else at the time.
- samatman 6y agoYeah. I prefer a slab of glass all around, but I went straight to smartphones from flip phones. I've yet to meet a HipTop user who thinks that the modern smartphone is an across-the-board improvement.
