LOLOL I remember that one hahaha

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew Thought you might!

For all the young ones out there, this was bleeding edge tech in the early 2000’s

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab Booom, blast from the past! I remember having one of those now actually. LOL that is crazy!

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew yeah, and the snap on covers you could get for them!

[Madchatthew]

@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?

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew OMG yes, they did have a belt clip! I think that’s where Blackberry got their design from. Another device I really liked.

[Madchatthew]

@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.

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.

I remember snake on that phone! That was an awesome game!!

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew not tried it myself but am intrigued.

[Madchatthew]

@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.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew I traded in my old oneplus handset as a part exchange for the Samsung I now have

[Madchatthew]

@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.
