I actually had a palm pilot, then a Sony Clio for reading RSS feeds on the subway commute in the very early 2000s. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] realitista@lemm.ee 1 point 1 year ago* (1 child) The original (best) Trēos were on PalmOS, but they did make some windows ones later. The Sony Clié was a sexy beast. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago Yea, that Clie (thanks for reminding me of the spelling btw) was great. It had a decent lithium battery (palms had alkaline batteries ant the time) and fit in my pocket as well as the early iPhones. I ended up using the dock from the old Palm Pilot with a usb cord grafted on the end to download images from those ‘one time use’ digital cameras from Ritz. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago My first smartphone was a Nokia running Symbian with a fold out QWERTY keyboard. I actually loved It, except for the ridiculous paucity of compatible apps.. permalink fedilink source parent [–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Yeah, I was thinking about Symbian too. The basic functionality of an Android phone today, Symbian already had with the limitations of its time. In 2003, you could use your Symbian to share internet to a PC, navigate maps, edit documents, take pictures, edit pictures, browse the web, etc. There was a good amount of third party apps too, including browsers like Opera and games like Chessmaster. And this was a shitty OS for this, Maemo was way better, but it came later. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) I used a Symbian phone to find a cafe in Providence once while working there in winter 2005/6 or so. And got charged like $2 from Cingular for loading one yelp page listing. I was so cold, and had to shit so bad I didn’t care. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago I remember. Mobile internet was ridiculously expensive. Browsers used to have an option to not download images and videos, that used to help a lot. Then Opera Mini came and these problems were gone for good. permalink fedilink source parent
