My first Internet phone was the Nokia 9000, which was limited to GSM (9600bps). I built and debugged one of the first major music streaming services on that connection because I was working remote and my DSL got cut off. I had to add a 2Kbps stream option to the production servers for myself just so I could test it.
- rboyd 11mo agois this the phone Val Kilmer had in the movie The Saint? badass phone
- qingcharles 11mo agoYes! I was so excited he had that phone in the movie. They even include an owner in-joke, which means someone in the production must have owned one of these phones. Everyone I lent the phone to would pick it up the "wrong" way -- they would put the external screen to their face, like every other phone. But the mic and speaker were on the back. I had to quickly find the scene in the movie here: https://imgur.com/a/hojf5DZ https://imgur.com/a/hojf5DZ
