Does anyone miss the Psion PDA from the 90s? - it may return!

Yeah, I know.

Or saying you live in a flat, gets them confused too!

Spare tire in the boot.

Pop the bonnet to check the engine.

Yorkshire: getting a sarnie for me sen luv.

The dual screen Axon M that just released pretty does this. Fiddled with on for a little, its not bad, but a ton of moving parts and extra pieces to break.

Our loverly country of ours, does have some cracking colloquialisms (had to look up spelling lol)

Yet, it’s not just a straight, north/south divide either.

That keyboard is awesome! I miss the days when companies were willing to try some more wild designs.

This was when phones were getting smaller.

This was the smallest phone I had. Loved this so much and think I had my first smart phone after this one

A friend bought one of those. He got fed up of it being so small, and was one of the few that didn’t play up.

So he MICROWAVED it, and guess what… Nothing, absolutely NOTHING. HAHAHAHA

in the end he dunked it n dried it out… Back before they could really tell.

He got a different phone in the end. lol

His face is the old moto star tac, where as I had a few, but between the 8110 (matrix phone) 7610 and the Ericsson K750I were prob my top 3

I was rockin’ the Palm m100 back in the day. It worked great, but I’m very happy that our cell phones and PDAs are combined today.

I miss my old Nokia phones. It was the best phone brand, and we were just so proud to own a Nokia phone :joy:

Nokia ruled the world back then.
I did have a Sony Ericsson k800i at one point but almost always Nokia.

My last to own was the Psion Revo.

This was a good form factor, pocketability, but it suffered from it’s battery technology. I think as a basis with today’s technology could be popular. The pivot hinge was so you could touch screen press but not push it over

The person who bought this is currently probably using a phablet.

Same here, but when apple came along, it killed Nokia. They just couldn’t compete.

The 5810 Nokia music (to prove its music status it came with a plectrum to use to touch the screen, only the bloody thing ended up scratching the screen GGGRRR) was the last Nokia I owned.it really was TOUCH too. You had to PRESS the screen and was really slow n awkward. Symbian software wasn’t ready for the new generation. The following year, the Nokia choice was another press the screen phone… Or the 3GS. I admit it, I jumped ship to iPhone. My first 2 year contract, cos up until then I got a new handset EVERY year.

Then I moved to Samsung. They’ve caused me some god awful stress… In the past. I then tried a couple of Sony’s Z5 and XZ, BBBUUUTTT they drove me.mad too!

Thankfully I had a really good contact at O2, so in 3 years, I went through 4 phones, and ended up getting the Sam S8. OMFG I. So glad this phone exists! In the last 8 years, it’s the best phone I’ve had since the 3gs.

Not saying now n again I’m not close to using a hammer on it, but 95% of the time, I love it.

My first iPhone was the 3G. Loved it. Hooked ever since lol

Oh Ja!

I had this kind of Palm.
But when I got it, it was out of fashion. :wink:

The same time got an IPOD (1. generation 32 GB)
which I used always in the sub (my classical music and my old films)
And I still have and use it.
In those times really nobody had such a smartphone as we know it.
So I was the only one using that “touch-pod”:
An “elder” man with the newest technology.
Those were funny days. Many greedy glances, whow!

I like the idea paying with the phone/watch. My Onplus 5T supports NFC after I upgraded to it from a Oneplus X. Now I’m only waiting that it will be released in Germany. Right now I’m in the US but the system doesn’t want to support my German credit card.

Sorry to hear your German card doesn’t work. The cards often authenticate with your in-country contact details so in USA if you add your UK card you must have a phone with the UK SIM in to receive your UK banking phone number authentication. So lots of phones, SIMs, etc.

Not exactly global, borderless money cards.


Hands on review

And you can buy one

Although judging by the review wait for a product revision.
