A bad phone with bad call service (because 2g only)
Similarly with bad Internet (because 2g only)
About as a good as an iPod at playing music but tiny storage for the time


Original iPhone is super trash, it did not even begin to be useful til the 3g

Nah, you're pretty wrong here. It's okay, we can't all bat 1000

wait so if iphone was bad at that time in 2007, then what's 'good' in 2007 according to fishmech?

is lg prada the gold standard of smartphones back in 2007 according to him? can we just smack someone in the head and say "remember the lg prada" every time someone have some nostalgic feeling towards the original iphone?

"google promises not to gently caress up your wires while moving them around" would make me rather nervous too. they'll probably cancel the project mid wire move and just let them all fall off the poles
