I had a couple Windows Mobile/Pocket PCs. They were flawed, yet awesome in their own way. Early Android was clearly better, but sadly it's become a locked down spy fest. I'd love a new real "Pocket PC".

I really would like a modern phone similar to a Danger Hiptop (aka the Sidekick) just for the actual buttons and scroll wheel and the coolness of flipping the screen open.

I loved my G2.

It's in my nightstand drawer now, plump from bad battery bloat. I ran it for 10 years as my bedside alarm clock. It ran a long gone app called NightClock.

Do we have any community for vintage phones already?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Nowadays, we don't even get keyboard covers for popular phones anymore.

I had a similar one that ran windows (CE maybe? I don't recall)

A friend of mine had the Droid.

At that point I was rocking the T Mobile Vario, which I believe was an HTC. It was, sadly, dog shit. Windows Mobile was not a fun time.

Windows Mobile did everything wrong. regarding the "mobile" aspect - lol

I had such a hard time with the HTC Diamond - it was super expensive at the time, so i really wanted to work with it.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, after this I had the Vario III, which was an HTC Kaiser. The phone was great (if somewhat underpowered), but WinMob was still clunky and shit.

My next phone after that was an iPhone 3GS, and I’ve been iPhone ever since.

Found memories: and the memories are French.

I would love a Bluetooth keyboard cover like that for my s22
