'memeber sharing ringtones with your friends via Bluetooth?
Oh yeah, and giving each person their own ringtone
Remember when snake was the best mobile game. lol.
Many ringtones were basically memes in audio format. Like arnold shwarzeneger talking or akon and lil wayne lyrics. MIKE JONES!

Anyone else assign someone the ringtone "silent" ?
You can still do that on Android.
You know, if you wanted to.
Can't remember the last time I heard a ringtone. Don't even know what ringtone I have. The world has turned awfully quiet in that regard.
That 8 bit tone of Sweet Child O Mine
You mean over IR
This thread has two different layers of feeling old
Unlimited mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends. 500 minutes per month. Good times.
Oh shit, I forgot they used to do unlimited minutes only to the same carrier, so long-distance gf and I had to coordinate our carrier choices
I only had 200 minutes, but it was 30 bucks, so I couldnt complain.
I still live like I have limited minutes, and can honestly say I don't think I've used more than maybe...20 minutes a month? Maybe less. I just checked my last 3 bills, and t-mobile doesn't list minutes anymore.
After inflation that's like $700 today though.
I remember when some friends had unlimited inbound calls. I'd get texts to say call me so they wouldn't have to pay for minutes lol
I had contacts that called, let the phone ring once or twice in order to ensure a missed call on my end, end the call and wait for me to return the call.
I remember having unlimited texts in the evenings and weekends. It used to pop off after 7pm
Hot damn look at that sidekick. What a perfect machine right there. So good the team got hired by Google to port their Hip OS and turn it into Android.
The Sidekick is still my all-time favorite phone. I bought the first Android phone, the g1, solely because of the Danger team being involved in it's development. I still use an Android phone but it's never been as exciting as that Sidekick was.
Oh is that why the first android phone was so good? I had a developer edition of that and it slapped. Keyboard was amazing
I remember waiting until 9:01 just so those bastards couldn’t try to charge me shit

I had one of those Sidekicks!
Same! I loved it. Flip flip flip.
Did you know it had a video out jack on it? You could plug it into your TV and watch YouTube! Lol
Wait what kind of Jack? HDMI wasn’t out then right?
Correct. You could plug a yellow video cord into it. Like how you'd hook up a camcorder to your tv
Did that carry audio?
You’re talking rca right? So did you get audio through the phone?
I think, and mind you how long ago this was, but I think it was either mono or maybe just the phones speaker. I only tried it once so I'm not really sure on that.
No way that's wild
You guys remember bag phones
When these things existing my uncle was driving me somewhere and he had his scanner going in the car. We were able to listen in on those analog phones; crazy to think of these days with ubiquitous encryption everywhere.
My parents have told me...
