          Many ringtones were basically memes in audio format. Like arnold shwarzeneger talking or akon and lil wayne lyrics. MIKE JONES!

            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.

        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.

      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.

    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.

          Correct. You could plug a yellow video cord into it. Like how you’d hook up a camcorder to your tv

            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.

      If you go back even earlier, you couldn’t even call outside your geographic region. Nationwide calling was a big deal!

      No, you had night and weekend minutes. You had a package of texts like 300, 500, 1000, and texts over the limit cost something ridiculous like 15 cents or something.
