Things sure have come a long way since the first mobile phone was invented, and there have been plenty of duds or experiments along the trail to where we are today. So of course, we had to buy them and take a look for ourselves.

Linus constantly discovering how cheap phones used to be is so funny.

As someone who is somewhat of a PSP fanatic, the Xperia Play is such a cool device. I remember being super jealous of a classmate who used to have one.
Also very interesting how much they borrowed from the PSP Go for the physical design

Linus:
Should i get this rectangle or this rectangle...or should i rather have this...
Me:
*Pauses* *with full mouth* A bin of phones

It's crazy to realize how far tech has come when you do videos like these

I worked at a mobile phone retailer for 15 years starting in the early 2000s, I not only remember but used, sold and set up every single one of these phones over the years... aah, memories.

I feel deceived, that isn't Linus' hand in the thumbnail photo.

You feel kinda old watching this video and remembering the majority of those phones 😅 Sidenote about Nokia - they were just so big at the time that they could do all kinds of crazy phones, the lipstick one was from a series ''La Fleur'' if I remember correctly, all of them were kind weird like that, but considered very cool at the time

I had one of those Sony Play phones, it was amazing! Linus missed the fact that it came with a custom version of Minecraft which fully worked with the buttons and it also had a store for other popular games which had the controls integrated, it was great!

The funky Nokia shapes absolutely did sell massively. Most people had standard brick phones but there were bragging rights with having one of the weird or high end ones. Phones didn't do much and designs were so varied that a weird keypad wasn't really a problem

I loved this episode. Brought back memories of all the Pre-Smartphone Era mobile phones I used to own. I had a variety of Nokias, Sony's and Motorolas growning up. The 2 phones I remember most fondly fom those early days where the Sony Ericsson K800i and the Nokia N95-2, which was the Black version and I think I remeber it being pre-loaded with a full movie on it (I think Spiderman or something like that) 😁

I owned the Nokia 7380, the updated lipstick phone with a 2MP camera. The rotary dial for typing was really fast & one handed. Perfect for banging out quick text on the go!
Back then we were very used to Nokia's T9 predictive text & knew what would come up ahead of time which would further increase the wpm of our texts. Loved that phone, I still regret selling it when I did finally upgrade!
My father had the Nokia N93i, the upgrade to the N93, most notably it did have expandable SD card storage, so no limits on recording! It also had 3x optical zoom & in a very stylish packing.. complete with a little screen on the outta case to say who's calling with out needing to open the phone.
Do I love my current phone? Yes!
But do I wish phones were not always slabs still? Yes!
Nokia 6800, 6820, 9000i, e90, N95, 8910 & 7650 are some other very cool, practical & stylish phones!

Would have been nice to have someone there to explain the phones after Linus was done guessing and exploring. Seems like there's a lot of cool stuff going on in each phone that's being glossed over.

Unexpected blackface at 6:15

Imagine if Sony make a case that slides a gamepad as the old Xperia Play. That would be a smashing hit.

Can confirm the N93 was an amazing camera. First phone camera I owned that allowed me to take a picture of both pages of my school book and be able to read the text on all of it. Previously I had to take a pic of one at a time. Saved me loads of time and effort carrying my text books home.

Pretty cool to see how different the designs get compared to today's phones.

The StarTAC was a GodPhone: You could have a thin or "bulge" battery (as seen in video) on the lid, and then one of two sizes of backpack battery on the other side of the phone... this gave you the ability to A/B batteries without dropping a call. I called mine, a blue Brazilian-only color, "The Endless Customer Support Phone" and it was. It helped me sell a company. Still have it, with both batteries!

I had a Nokia 7600 and absolutely loved it, easily my favourite pre-smartphone phone.
It didn’t take me long to get used to the split keyboard and there were some great games on it.

man i had a 7600 back in the days, absolutely loved the thing. the split keypad was super quick to use with predictive text. had a lot of great app support for the time too, like clients for irc, ssh, msn, html (of course), and a pretty dope version of tetris
ah simpler times

Having owned the Xperia play personally the best part of it is that it was not only moddable but highly overclockable (mine ran stable at 1.8-2 GHz) and there is an app you can download for PC that converts PS1 games to run on the inbuilt Sony emulator. All controls worked perfectly.
