How does it feel to be objectively wrong.

Either way I was actually shocked to learn that Windows 10 Phone used the NT kernel instead of the hacked up 3.11 based CE "kernel." Sucks that it had a grand total of 4 apps I guess.

about what? live tiles ruled on win phone. They're slightly less useful on the start menu, but its cool to be able to see the weather and stuff at a glance.

like i can kind of understand if you never used winphone you don't get how much better it is than trash like ios. ios is almost unusably bad in comparison.

I loved my Nokia 521. Cheap, reliable. Shame it didn't work out.

In the list of "Phones that looked like something I could shove up my rear end for sexual gratification" the Palm Pre was high on the list (I'd probably put the Motorola PEBL above it on the list except I never had one of those).

I do kinda like the idea of every app being a webpage, that was the WebOS "thing" right?

Nokia Candybar, Motorola RAZR, Palm Treo, Blackberry Curve, Palm Pre, Samsung Galaxy S (the Sprint one with the sidekick-style slide keyboard), then the iPhone 4, 5, 6, 8?

It was kind of like the web in that each app could have multiple windows (or cards) --- e.g., you could have your list of emails in one window, each email could have its own window, and you could compose replies or new emails, each in its own window as well. Nothing else does that to this day.

It was also kind of like the web in that the UI was written in JavaScript, CSS, and HTML. There were a few apps here and there that had native code but if your app wasn't CPU-intensive at all, it was WebKit all the way down.

it doesn’t look like that at all. i got the midrange IPS 4K though and it isn’t slow as dogshit, which is ultimately what you want if you want to use the smart poo poo in your tv, so it’s ok in my book.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
