@Madchatthew Nokia 5110 anyone?
LOLOL I remember that one hahaha
@Madchatthew Thought you might!
For all the young ones out there, this was bleeding edge tech in the early 2000’s
@phenomlab Booom, blast from the past! I remember having one of those now actually. LOL that is crazy!
@Madchatthew yeah, and the snap on covers you could get for them!
@phenomlab oh yeah LOL, I remember those. I had one of those as well. Usually didn’t they have a clip on them so you could put them on your belt?
@Madchatthew OMG yes, they did have a belt clip! I think that’s where Blackberry got their design from. Another device I really liked.
@phenomlab yeah I liked those Blackberrys as well. I never had one but played around with one that I knew had one.
My Samsung a53 wouldn’t charge so I’ve done away with Samsung and got a Nothing 2a.
A very similar sort of look to the iPhone. None or very little bloatware, decent battery life to boot.
@phenomlab wow! takes you back doesn’t it .

Didn’t Nokia have somewhat of a rebirth a few years back?

Although apologies for taking it slightly off track.
Have either of you used a phone where you could install and run ubuntu on it for phone software? I know they have roms out there for that and I think they also sell phones with a version of it installed.
@phenomlab yeap… this brings good and old memories…
I used to play snake and cover almost of all the screen… I still remember all of the ringtones on that phone…

I remember snake on that phone! That was an awesome game!!
@Madchatthew not tried it myself but am intrigued.
@phenomlab they have roms that will work on various phones. I am guessing that they would have a rom for your oneplus phone if you ever decide to play around with it. I was wanting to install it on one of my older samsung phones but they didn’t have a rom for it at the time.
@Madchatthew I traded in my old oneplus handset as a part exchange for the Samsung I now have
@phenomlab Nice! Now it seems like providers will have a deal where you can bring in any old phone and they will trade it for free for a new one. They had a deal like that with that new samsung fold phone. I was almost tempted to trade in the S8+ but I don’t need another phone laying around haha
Here is an article I found that names some of the different linux OSs for phones. Just for an example of what I mentioned above.
