100% would go back to translucent electronics. Used to mod my iPhone with clear glass replacement backs, back in the 4/4S days. By the way, I got my first cellphone around the same time as you, summer 2003. It was a Nokia 3300, which was actually a fairly advanced phone for the time. It was basically a cheaper, less capable version of the N-Gage. Same form factor. I remember people commenting “why do you need a keyboard on your phone??” LOL
i actually had an N-Gage which i swapped the case for a transparent one and then i got a keypad light board to go with it, you put it between the keys and the mainboard, it had an RGB LED for every key, a little antenna which detects the RF from the phone and a power connection which wraps around the edge to the battery at the back... it was like a christmas tree in my pocket
@@jayrb2801 If you think N-Gage was great, you are lying about having actually owned it. It wasn't great, it was garbage and that is also why it completely flopped as a product.

I think the point is that Apple Lightning chargers are used for other apple devices besides iPhones, or indeed, one model lf iPhone. You can use a lightning charher for the magic keyboard and magic mouse, magic trackpad, iPad, iPod, and iPhone. Apple has made Lightning a standard within their own products, whereas this phone shared the charger with nothing else.
My first phone was a Nokia 5110. My phone plan had 250 texts, 150 minutes, and free weekends, but not free nights. It had interchangeable faceplates, which I took huge advantage of. I had like 30 faceplates for this thing. I forget what games were on it, but remember it had snake. It got confiscated at school like 15 times. Good times.
Nokia 3310 and later 3510 with removable faceplates :) then a Samsung B2100 and Samsung xcover 2 then back to the b2100. Don't like the android/microsoft/ios thingie
My 1st phone was a HTC Desire C in 2013. Had 100 minutes, 1000 texts and 250mb of data @ £10/month. 2nd phone was the LG G4C in 2015 with 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 500mb of data @ £12/month. Currently have the Honor 9 with unlimited calls and texts with 12GB data @ £30/month

That's because the videos on TH-cam aren't made by a bunch of non-professionals like they say. That's a lie TH-cam has been feeding you from the very beginning. They're actually made by the big TV corporate networks in response to falling viewership of traditional TV programming.

Not quite, I get what you are saying but it still uses the USB standard at 5V 1Amp (well actually Amps can range from .5 to 1.2). It’s hard to argue that Apple is non-standard solely because of their huge market share. When you make up 30-50% of the tablet/phone market the non-standard seems to become common enough to be called standard.. ya know?

I got my first phone in '99, a BT Cellnet Philips C12. Fantastic thing about that phone was that if you pulled the battery whilst a text was sending, it would still send but you wouldn't get charged for it.
@@williamwinder3466 I turn 31 next month. It really is crazy. But think about how old 30 seemed when you were still 15. When you are young it seems like that is forever. When you hit 30. 15 seems like it was just the other day.
he said he was 16 in 2003 that is not old and the phone is not that old to i find one on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorola-V100-Blue-Mobile-Phone-very-Rare/183201961019?hash=item2aa7b0143b:g:dG8AAOSwZbha5kfo&frcectupt=true
They should get new ones *from a shelter this time instead of paying a grand for them* when the kids are old enough to take care of them! (as Linus apparently ain't no time for that)
I had this phone too. It is a amazing texting phone at the time. Was offered from my network operator (in Europe) with almost free texting plan. I had it for over a year. Just loved it...
On Telus AND Rogers (i.e. the Carriers used where Linus lives and works), I STILL can use my old Motorola Startac AND Razr phones from 1996 and 2004. The Razor uses the Edge (2.5g) network and for SOME REASON the Startac which uses AMPS (i.e. the ANALOG Advanced Mobile Phone System) mobile phone service STILL WORK! The Moto Razr still works perfectly fine and I can even access 1.5g (Edge) data and voice anywhere in the Metro Vancouver area (which is geographically about the same square area as greater Los Angeles!) AND in some areas near downtown Vancouver and Surrey, I STILL get Startac Analog AMPS voice service! WTH? I thought AMPS was discontinued BUT it seems it's STILL Active as I'm getting analog AMPS tower voice service in 2019! My first phone in 1987 was some fancy brick phone which literally WAS the size of a brick! In those days it was $2.00 PER MINUTE for cell phone voice service, so one hour of talking to a friend would cost you $120 CAN (85 euros) YIKES! No wonder my first phone bill was like $2000+ CAN! These days, for that $120 per month amount I get 20 gigs a month 4G data plus unlimited voice and text only messages on a business-plan provider!
Since I'm IN the Vancouver, BC, Canada Area and use Telus, I'm STILL surprised that my 1996 phone still works on AMPS service which I thought Telus discontinued YEARS ago! For some dumb reason, I can make a voice call in downtown Vancouver on a decades old AMPS phone! .
man, it looks really nice, I really wish there was a phone like this right now, the e-ink, the vintage mushy buttons, flip screen. Despite growing up as a 17 year old with a iPhone X, I seriously have a fond with these phones.
It actually still surprises me that cellphones from around from 2001 and earlier had yet to adopt colour LCD screens (given that devices like the Game Boy Color had been on the market for a year or two then (or even a decade, with devices like the Atari Lynx or SEGA GameGear). Guess battery-life was a tad more important to us back than it is nowadays.
It just wasn't a necessity. Wouldn't have thought to have a color screen because there weren't almost any pictures to display. My phone had Snake, the game, on it.

"It's packed in the EU"
My life is a lie
I don't think I've ever seen Linus so excited!
@The BFI xd
He's more exited on the new Floatplane video where he disassembles/destroys his $50000 RED 8K Helium camera in order to water-cool it.
He overly excitable... over unexciting things usually.
My main takeaway from this video is that Linus is young enough that his first cell phone had a keyboard. 😑
chanm01 didn’t they all have? Only new smartphones don’t have keyboards as far as I know
PlatinumBladeStudios well there was also the flip phones that just had a num pad
Amazing Lagann flip phones were popular around the same time Linus said this came out
My father's first phone was a Nokia 5160 lol
@Faustinus Karyadi So it was released in 2000?
2003: *flip phones with headphone jacks*
2018: *Notch city*
We have got a new slide phone tho!

2019: The return of flip phones
My inbox is now full of first phone videos
Oh, Linus... So young... My first cell phone was one of those Nokia bricks. Around 2003 I had a Motorola Timeport P8767, which my friends nicknamed "the Porsche"
17 years later and the meaning of WAP has totally changed
When you're worried about limited mobile data, but Linus saves the day. :D
Lucky i have unlimited data :D
Same bro 22 GB of fast data then the rest is slow
One day i was wondering how 30gb of data can cost over 100$ in America. In finland you can get unlimited, 4g plan for 20$😂
@@kaukon :D CuuuL
@@kaukon 30gb for $100? Damn that is super expensive. I got 31GB Lte for like $9
Did you record this video with that phone
Nah, It doesn't have enough memory to record it :D
Nah that phone could probably do better than 144p
When he says: here in 2018
*TRIGGERED*
Ikr
The video was filmed in 2018....its just now being posted
And I thought you were triggered because of the "here" ....
Shane Downes thanks Sherlock very cool!
I got my first phone in '99, a BT Cellnet Philips C12. Fantastic thing about that phone was that if you pulled the battery whilst a text was sending, it would still send but you wouldn't get charged for it.
Atleast it has backlit keyboard.......
HOW THE HELL IS LINUS THAT OLD ????? HE LOOKS LIKE A 19 YEAR OLD !!!!??!?!??
I honestly thought he was on his forties.
He's only 32. Is that old? cause if it is then I feel old. I'm not 32, but i'm close.
I definitely feel old
@@williamwinder3466 I turn 31 next month. It really is crazy. But think about how old 30 seemed when you were still 15. When you are young it seems like that is forever. When you hit 30. 15 seems like it was just the other day.
he said he was 16 in 2003 that is not old and the phone is not that old to i find one on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorola-V100-Blue-Mobile-Phone-very-Rare/183201961019?hash=item2aa7b0143b:g:dG8AAOSwZbha5kfo&frcectupt=true
Who else tried to calculate Linus's age at the beginning of the video??😂
Thats the first thing i did
That feels when even Linus is younger than you are....
Linus was 16 in 2003.....i was 22.....
He is 31
Cool I am as old as Linus
1:12 wait.... this was uploaded 2019...

REVIVE LINUS CAT TIPS
Give it to us Linus!
He can't because he doesn't have any cats anymore.
They should get new ones *from a shelter this time instead of paying a grand for them* when the kids are old enough to take care of them! (as Linus apparently ain't no time for that)
He doesn't have his cats anymore? What happened?
@@Kain652 See hundreds of comments about that on *LinusCatTips* - last video *_100k subscriber update_*
This 8k footage is great
360p oooof
Still WAY better than this phone.
I had this phone too. It is a amazing texting phone at the time. Was offered from my network operator (in Europe) with almost free texting plan. I had it for over a year. Just loved it...
4:47 JerryRigEverything wants to know your location
It Still working in India...
2G is Available here 😂
On Telus AND Rogers (i.e. the Carriers used where Linus lives and works), I STILL can use my old Motorola Startac AND Razr phones from 1996 and 2004. The Razor uses the Edge (2.5g) network and for SOME REASON the Startac which uses AMPS (i.e. the ANALOG Advanced Mobile Phone System) mobile phone service STILL WORK! The Moto Razr still works perfectly fine and I can even access 1.5g (Edge) data and voice anywhere in the Metro Vancouver area (which is geographically about the same square area as greater Los Angeles!)
AND in some areas near downtown Vancouver and Surrey, I STILL get Startac Analog AMPS voice service! WTH?
I thought AMPS was discontinued BUT it seems it's STILL Active as I'm getting analog AMPS tower voice service in 2019!
My first phone in 1987 was some fancy brick phone which literally WAS the size of a brick! In those days it was $2.00 PER MINUTE for cell phone voice service, so one hour of talking to a friend would cost you $120 CAN (85 euros) YIKES! No wonder my first phone bill was like $2000+ CAN!
These days, for that $120 per month amount I get 20 gigs a month 4G data plus unlimited voice and text only messages on a business-plan provider!
@@StarGateSG7 actually EDGE is "2.5g", an evolution over "2g" GPRS and CSD.
@@StarGateSG7 it's Canada you can't discontinue a product that you still use when you barely even have fibre
Since I'm IN the Vancouver, BC, Canada Area and use Telus, I'm STILL surprised that my 1996 phone still works on AMPS service which I thought Telus discontinued YEARS ago! For some dumb reason, I can make a voice call in downtown Vancouver on a decades old AMPS phone!

For Linus to be allowed a daily driver, he had to become a daily driver :)
Same deal I got with my full time working parents and my two young siblings,was no issue since we got along
2:16 WAP means something else in 2020
Didn't iJustine just post this same video? Oh and JerryRigEverything...

Ya MrMobile mentioned that they planned it.
It's a conspiracy!
Still higher resolution than iPhone XR

Lame joke.

arfbarfultima AVGN does not approve.
man, it looks really nice, I really wish there was a phone like this right now, the e-ink, the vintage mushy buttons, flip screen. Despite growing up as a 17 year old with a iPhone X, I seriously have a fond with these phones.
the 360p was intended.. it was to give us that retro feel to suit the 'phone'.
@@dannyjohnson8769 not really I thought that but my eyes are bleeding so I still don't like 360
if it was intended to look genuine for the time it would be 240p not 360p.

3:59 that voice crack though😂😂 Storaeegeee case😂😂😂😂
Why is everyone posting the same video? MrMobile, iJustine, Jerryrigeverything, etc.
I was thinking the same. o.O
It actually still surprises me that cellphones from around from 2001 and earlier had yet to adopt colour LCD screens (given that devices like the Game Boy Color had been on the market for a year or two then (or even a decade, with devices like the Atari Lynx or SEGA GameGear).
Guess battery-life was a tad more important to us back than it is nowadays.
Colour lcds back in the day were power hogs......and there was no need on early cell phones, they only had text against a background.
It just wasn't a necessity. Wouldn't have thought to have a color screen because there weren't almost any pictures to display. My phone had Snake, the game, on it.
Yeah it wasn't till like 2008 when smartphones became a thing that they started using colour screens.
The Ericsson T86 had a color screen if my memory serves me, year 2000.
No. Flip phones had color . flip phones with color came out early. I had one in 2006.
I paid $70 so its not worth it
*gets 7500 dollars profit off the video*
Edit: wow guys thx so much for all the likes!
Totally worth it
That's not how it works
Average money per 100000 views is 300 usd. So not 7500 dollars. Closer to 2100. Plus sponsors.
