That does seem a bit ahead. I remember being excited about different color backlights around 2004, maybe.
Yeah, it was right when it hit the market. We weren't rich, so having one bougie item others were jealous of was kinda fun for a change.
It was the improved model of a Nokia 3510, 3510i. This is a rare thing, but you'll have to translate the article as Wikipedia didn't have an English article on that. Oh it was marketed as the Nokia 3595 in the States, announced in 2003.
So yeah, this post is one of those "ohgodimold" feels because the current generations views on how old things from my childhood look like are coming out.
Hell, one day someone guessed my age. They guessed "a bit shy of 40?" and at first I was offended but then I remembered they are technically correct and it was rather depressing of a feeling. "No, haha of course I'm not... wait... yeah, actually.... that is correct (screaming internally)."
