i had a jordana 720 as a teen. it was, at the time, pro as gently caress

also had the nokia 770/800 maemo devices. they were p. neato an vaguely useful as an internet device in an era of lovely smartphone platforms. i still have my n800 for use as a prop in halloween costumes (wrist computer/pipboy)

umpcs were unmitigated trash. woefully underpowered and no battery life.

i didn't have an orinoco card back in those days, but i had a usr 56k modem with the popout x-jack connector, and some of the payphones in my city had rj11 jacks on them for just such use.

in hindsight it was cyberpunk as gently caress

but the jornada had a built-in modem whose jack popped out the corner

i think i used it to send a fax once

that may be what i'm remembering. i did have a 33.6 and a 56k usr pccard with the popout x-jack too

we got dial-up with our 1st gen dsl, so i used that. also faxed a bunch of all black pages to a local computer store staffed by dicks.

had an hp 200lx too, that thing was dope as gently caress, if only because you could run anything dos based that didn't require cga+ graphics

google: "this is our flagship device, so we will support it for a whopping 18 months!"

apple: *still supports the iPhone 5, released in 2012*

no, it makes perfect sense. the only idiots spending $1000 on an android phone are the idiots that buy a new phone every 9 months anyway, when the latest "flagship" launches. why bother to support a phone for longer than any of your primary market will own it?

what if my phone were like a puzzle?

every new release i'd have to figure out how all my commonly used functions were accessed and were everything had been moved to.

maybe one random feature could be broken or depreciated with each release, like a game of roulette.

download the wrong app? it encrypts your phone, or uploads all your personal data and contacts to spammers in shenzhen - jackpot!

my advice is always buy an iphone or just buy whatever loving piece of trash catches your eye since they're literally all garbage and will be broken in some way out of the box. sure, some are worse than others, but you already know what to buy if you want a phone that works, and it ain't an android.
