As of October 29, 2023 I’m still using a iPhone XS Max 256GB on iOS 17. Someday I’ll upgrade withe to another iPhone or an Android phone, I like Motorolas, Samsung, and OnePlus, and my friend has a very nice TCL 20 Pro.
You kinda hav a white persons voice
Android will always be superior to iOS
What song did this person use in the intro?
My favorite phone from the dawn years of Android was the Galaxy Fascinate, the Verizon flavor of the Galaxy S1. I remember seeing it in the store and being mind-blown by how beautiful and vibrant the 4 inch, 800×400, AMOLED display was. In retrospect, it doesn’t seem like much, but for the time, it just felt so cutting edge and awesome. It really laid the foundation for an era of incredible Galaxy S phones that have been released since.
Ready to revisit this. I want another Droid. I want back the original warm fuzzy feelings I used to have about Android.
5G is going to give us cancer
Phones are even worse now.
The Samsung Instinct was targeted at the original iPhone.
I loved the rugged design of the old Motorola Droid phones. I had the Razr Maxx HD and didn't need a case for it. That phone had a multi day battery life as well. I think the longest I got on idle was nearly a workweek. I remember going on vacation in the mountains in 2012 for five days and coming back with it still having about 10 percent battery.
I switched over to Samsung in 2013 or early 2014 when the whole Droid branding went away and "Hello Moto" replaced it.
I still have the stock "DROOOID" notification on my current phone (a Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G) and plan to keep it when I get the S22 Ultra next spring.
My four year old nephew (who was born well after the Droid days) laughs hysterically whenever my phone has a notification and does the Droid sound.
My dad had a Droid…. TWICE (Different models)
I got chills from that Droid add.
That 💩 slapped harder then most of today's radio hits.
Man, I remember that phone! I was just getting out of high school and my mom had one! It was the coolest dang thing, but I never got one because Android wasn't blind accessible back then, or at least they didn't do it well. I got an iPhone the next year, and my family switched over to iPhone in the 5C era. I kind of think my mom still misses her Droid and Droid 3, though! LOL!
4 years later and iPhone had widgets
i wondered why we are not making phones with physical key boards anymore. those were super fun back then and still wish they are still around. hate tying on the touch screen~~
