Yeah, I was thinking this probably sucked when it came out, but nowadays it has a certain charm to it because we've all just been slipping identical slabs of glass into our pockets for the last decade.
they had all the shapes, a friend had a lip-stick shaped one that had a camera and no number buttons, just a wheel that didn't spin, you had to tap up/down/left/right to select letters and numbers.
I remember how good the predictive text on my moto razr was - most phones would only let you auto complete to one longer word and you had to cycle through a list. the moto would do 3 words within one click, if you hit left, right or space. that with the skype java app truly was the future.
up until a month ago, I was still using my Xr which I bought brand new in 2019. I only "upgraded" to an Xs because the battery in my Xr was completely toasted and the Xs' is still fine, even though it's of the same age. With phones, there's just nothing anymore that makes me want to spend the manufacturers' insane asking prices. My girlfriend's far newer iPhone (I believe it's a 13?) does exactly the same things as my ancient Xr/Xs. Yes, ultra wide angle lens and everything but those are only small gimmicks, nothing truly important that would make buying a new phone worthwhile to me.
I was using the first gen SE up until last year when it stopped getting iOS updates for so long some of my most used apps would stop working. It was also falling apart merely held together by tape. I hope my 14 Pro will last as long
@@dustojnikhummerexactly. If I have one small nitpick with a lot of people who talk about old texting, they always call multi-tap “T9”, which is incorrect. T9 was a number based lookup system that let you type the numbers that had the letters you wanted on them. It would then use a database, context clues, and prediction to determine which word it was you actually wanted. This made it so much faster. Instead of having to type hello 4433555(pause)555666, you could instead just type 43556, which corresponds to “hello” in the database. It was actually a super slick implementation, and due to the way it works, allowed you to add words to the dictionary really easily. T9 is leagues better than multi-tap, and it irritates me to no end when people conflate the later as the former.
yeah, T9 makes it so you don't have to tap the same button multiple time. you can type hello with "43556" instead of 4433555.555666 (dot being a pause)
I had one of these back when I was in my late teens. I actually liked it. Load up the memory card with videos or music and you have plenty of entertainment while on the bus or metro. I remember people hating on Symbian so much, but I had no issues with it. I was even able to connect the phone to my laptop over USB or Bluetooth to get access to the internet via the GSM modem which was fully exposed as a windows device when connected. That alone blew people's minds in 2003. Lol. Wade, you need to review a Sony Ericsson P800 and/or P900. It also ran Symbian, but a newer version, with proprietary bits added by Sony just because. The P800 looked like an overgrown T68i with the cheapest and most flimsy keypad and stylus I have ever seen. Perfect nugget.
Symbian was fine for that kind of phone. Nokia didn't really do well with dropping it into smartphones (and even then they went with windows phone), but for this kind of more "than a brick less than a smartphone" level it was pretty good.
Huh 🤷🏼♂️ what are you on about. I have a 6t (OnePlus) from 18 i still think of it as new. Since there haven't really happened much since. But man the Nokia 3210 was tha shiet. And it feels like yesterday it came out and I'm not even 40 yet.

3:56 whatever noise you made right here activated my Siri. That’s the most confusing thing I’ve had happen all day. One way or another your videos always make me laugh!
You're describing standard typing (pressing 2 twice for "b") as T9. That's wrong. T9 is predictive text. So for word "hello" you would press 43556. With standard text (non predictive, non T9) it would be 4433555555666 instead. So there you have it. The difference between T9 (predictive) on and off.
Also, with practice and decent predictive text, t9 was easily superior to standard. If the predicted word was wrong for what you typed, you could hit pound to cycle through the different options, and after a while you'd memorize which words were first/second/third etc in order, so you could type without looking with pretty decent speed. Made texting in class so much easier than full qwerty keyboards, or even worse.. Touch screens lol
They did end up making a version with a regular keyboard though, the 3620 and 3660! Hope we get to see more ancient high-end nuggets ESPECIALLY the teardrop one, PLEASE
Filming the screen as you individually select and play a sequence of 10 second videos, the boldest cinematic decision I've seen all year. Stanley Kubrick, eat your heart out lol

Nice phone, some comments here: 1. The 3650 was based on the Nokia 7650, but had some hardware improvements such as Expandable memory (through mmc cards, the predecessor of sd cards) and video recording out of the box (7650 only got it with firmware updates). 2. The 3650 runs on Symbian S60 platform, 1st edition. Symbian was purposefully designed to be fragmented and customizable for different form factors, thus different platforms were created that were not cross compatible (e.g. S80 for nokia communicators, UIQ for Sony ericsson P series). It was not until 2008 that they agreed to standardize on S60 5th edition (powering phones like the 5800 xpressmusic). 3. The north american version was called the 3620, and it was codenamed... SHREK !😮 4. A later revision called the 3660 used a conventionally styled keypad and had an improved display. 5. The Nokia 3650 was the first phone to adopt the famous BL-5C battery, variants which are still in use by HMD today and of course by shanzai Chinese electronics
(2:10) That is _not_ T9. T9 is the system where you press once for ABC all together, and it picks out the most likely word you want. So if you wanted to write "nugget", you pressed 684438 and the only word matching is "nugget". But if you want to write "never" that's 63837, and that gives "meter" and "never" so you cycle through the words with # and it will remember the most chosen option or most likely option based on previous word.
(3:45) No you don't know how to T9, since you disabled it at 3:19 (the phone even said T9 was disabled). You're typing without T9. You're calling what is T9 "predictive text" (which it isn't exactly) and you're calling what's not T9 as "T9".
(0:40) When you mentioned that it was the first Nokia with a camera, that was interesting. Then you added "in North America" and imagine the Squidward meme of him walking away with his folding chair. So it isn't the first Nokia with a camera then. Plus neither of you or me are from North America either. So not very interesting fact.

Franks wants an outdoor enclosure. Time to double the video content output to pay for the renovations!
God, I remember my dad gave me this phone back in high school, the keypad was so awkward to use lol, but other than that, I remember downloading tons of Symbian and Java games to it. 😅
Oh btw, the Nokia 3660, has a similar shape to this, but with the regular T9 keypad layout instead of the rotary phone ones like in Nokia 3650.
When you brought that phone in my school, you are automatically a celebrity.
Me watching this with two Nokia 3310s next to me 😂
Cooooool
Shut up!
Nice phone, some comments here:
1. The 3650 was based on the Nokia 7650, but had some hardware improvements such as Expandable memory (through mmc cards, the predecessor of sd cards) and video recording out of the box (7650 only got it with firmware updates).
2. The 3650 runs on Symbian S60 platform, 1st edition. Symbian was purposefully designed to be fragmented and customizable for different form factors, thus different platforms were created that were not cross compatible (e.g. S80 for nokia communicators, UIQ for Sony ericsson P series). It was not until 2008 that they agreed to standardize on S60 5th edition (powering phones like the 5800 xpressmusic).
3. The north american version was called the 3620, and it was codenamed... SHREK !😮
4. A later revision called the 3660 used a conventionally styled keypad and had an improved display.
5. The Nokia 3650 was the first phone to adopt the famous BL-5C battery, variants which are still in use by HMD today and of course by shanzai Chinese electronics
(2:10) That is _not_ T9. T9 is the system where you press once for ABC all together, and it picks out the most likely word you want. So if you wanted to write "nugget", you pressed 684438 and the only word matching is "nugget".
But if you want to write "never" that's 63837, and that gives "meter" and "never" so you cycle through the words with # and it will remember the most chosen option or most likely option based on previous word.
(3:45) No you don't know how to T9, since you disabled it at 3:19 (the phone even said T9 was disabled). You're typing without T9. You're calling what is T9 "predictive text" (which it isn't exactly) and you're calling what's not T9 as "T9".
I had a 6600 which came a little later. Loved that phone and it's funny how kids doesn't even realize that these S60 phones were also smartphones.
(0:40) When you mentioned that it was the first Nokia with a camera, that was interesting. Then you added "in North America" and imagine the Squidward meme of him walking away with his folding chair.
So it isn't the first Nokia with a camera then. Plus neither of you or me are from North America either. So not very interesting fact.
I’m glad I didn’t decide to get a cellphone until the iPhone came out.
T9 is predictive. You pick the letters of the word. Seeing him type it that way hurt my soul.
I love how this nugget is over 20 years old , still had some battery left and even though it's tortured , it did the job . My next phone will be dumb I'm tired of all the ads
"You are wasting your life was I type a phrase via t9 on a Nokia 3650."
And it wasn't even via T9
I used to transfer videos and music over infra red.
It was the era of amateur prwn especially when the .3gp format exists
In europe they sold the exact same phone with a normal-ish keypad, wild this one also got made too
This is why the successor the 3660 the fit a standard t9 keypad in the circle
Maybe you shouldn’t go back to 2001…
Dank, I just wanna thank you. You got me into critical listening, and helped me invent my drumming style, and now, I just got my first set of serious headphones, a pair of Sennheiser HD560s headmaphones.
