This reminds me of a Youtube series a guy did called When Phones Were Fun.

I had the Touch Pro 2 and loved it! Windows Mobile was a complete mess in the best possible way.

Nonono. To hell with that phone and that company. i bought one and it just now got delivered, three years later.

It’s underpowered and a broken mess. And the keyboard isn’t the best, which is insane for a phone whose whole selling point is the keyboard. I was expecting it to be on par with my old Sidekick phones. Nope. So disappointing.

Really? Performance-wise, Firefox on Android runs great for me. No battery drain.

It is lacking in a lot of features though.

Yeah this is my solution. I run Bluebubbles on my Android phone and have the bluebubbles server running on an old mac mini.

This was a huge part of me being able to switch back to Android after being on iPhones for 6 years.

Yeah, the person who thought this up should be forced to do it for 24 hours straight, with only 10 seconds for each guess, and for every one he gets wrong, five minutes gets added to his time.

We often have prices changed when a customer reaches checkout.

I know this isn’t your fault or anything but damn, that seems lightly customer hostile at best, and deeply unethical at worst. It sounds like it should be illegal.

The Android app data folder is absent, likely by design, to prevent accidentally messing up any app installations. Any folder that Android tries to hide on your device is still hidden in File Explorer.

Omg I am the owner of my phone. If i want to see all my folders, show me all my folders.

Another company releasing another unfinished product, with no estimated date on when ultra wideband will be implemented.

Please people, don’t buy unfinished products.

For what it’s worth, Sony Xperia phones have a microsd card slot and headphone jack, and I just replaced the battery in my xperia 1 III about a month ago. Best phone ever.

P.S. Sony’s commitment to OS and security updates still sucks though. I think on the new 1 VI it’s three OS upgrades and 4 years security updates. Sony always has to find a way to ruin good hardware.

Unfortunately it still trips, because even though it’s a locked bootloader, it’s not a ROM that’s signed by Google, and therefore does not pass SafetyNet, unless you use things like Magisk Hide, Zygisk Next with Shamiko, and stuff like that, but for that you’d almost certainly need to root and unlock the bootloader again. It’s a cat and mouse game.

Yeah. Back in the day I used to use BoldBeast call recorder. Now I use Basic Call Recorder (BCR) on my Android phone and it auto-records every call perfectly.

“The file you are trying to download is no longer available.” 🙁

There are dozens of us!

When the tape drive fails and eats your tape in the process, you better hope you have a second backup or you’ll be crying salty salty tears.

I worked in the service center for a tape-drive manufacturer and I would routinely see the drives we got back for repair. They were often taken apart by the customer in a frantic and desperate attempt to get their cassette out. The cassette was almost always still in there though, with multiple feet of tape snagged and wound around everything.

That’s not cool at all.

Does anyone else see the creepy upside down smiley face in the corner?

Sorry you have to deal with this. I know it wasn’t in your list of options, but you could attend HOA meetings, bring up the internet issue and see if they’ll change the current setup, or you could get elected to an HOA board and start pulling the strings of change. That’s more of a long-term goal though.
