2008. we were gifted an iphone 2G 32gig model somehow.
the shock/surprise/awe on my face is something i remember. by that point, i was a regular internet user who "had" heard about apple and iphones on tech websites and stuff (youtube was not even on radar, remember EDGE?)
so it was text for the most part on nokia N series phones. getting an iphone in hand felt like leaving a horse carriage and strapping on to a saturn V. fun times
- zekica 4y agoI had the opposite experience in 2007, Nokia N series for me was miles better than iPhone OS 1.0 - it did a lot more than iPhone: - GPS navigation in the background - Chat applications - IRC, XMPP in the background - Photos and videos better than compact cameras - HSDPA 3G (3.6Mbps) - Sharing 3G via WiFi - tethering - Device to device file sharing - Real 3D games using OpenGL ES 1 - TV Out The (really important) things that iPhone had were: - bigger screen, - capacitive multitouch, - better GPU acceleration - a lot better input latency
- justsomehnguy 4y ago>bigger screen, - capacitive multitouch, - better GPU acceleration - a lot better input latency Yep. All Nokia fanbois (sic) omit what S-series were - a lagging, slow in the UI, cumbersome. 5800, which was a 'response' to iPhone was just a facelift with all the problems still there. It's an impprtant lesson on how a better UX won with overall lessen capabilities (should I remind about MMS? Should I remind what it was effectivly killed by iMessage integration?)
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoi had an N70 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N70 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N70 can you imagine going from this brick to an iphone? maybe you had one of those communicators or meego whatever nokia was doing... those were good devices for the time but i did not have them
