I had the star but without the wifi. It only ran mobile Java apps and games, most of which were developed with physical buttons in mind. So most apps would just fill half the touchscreen with a grid of emulated number buttons (like on an old phone) just so you can navigate the app. It was so shit. I loved it. Brings back memories...

I inherited an F480 from my dad and it became my first phone through senior school.. until I had another Samsung smartphone bought for my birthday a few years later. The phone worked so well for me, it wasn’t the best but I’d had worst before! After I never needed it, it got passed to my uncle and then I lost track of what he did with it. Then for the sake of nostalgia, last year I bought one of these for myself but when I booted it up it turns out it was an F480i, which is an improved model from the normal one and one thing it did improve on was the finger scrolling.
I still have my old S5230 from like 2011. Compared to modern phones these things were tiny. One genuinely neat thing about it is that it came with a pdf reader. I would cut classes to read books on my phone because I was just that damn cool.
Same phone lol, love that old style and still runs games on 25 fps and browser worked great, but i lost it cuz i tried to flash android 6 to it and it got bricked 😭
Wiping phones is very important. Bought a box of random electronics from this nice woman and after charging two of the phones in the box, one had clam pics on it... not great ones either...
The first Galaxy generation a year after this was really when Samsung actually started to get halfway cromulent, they REALLY found their feet with the Galaxy S in 2010 though. My dad had the Galaxy S Captivate (the AT&T exclusive trim) to replace his old flip phone and, after he finally ditched it for an S5 in 2016, gave it to my sibling who used it til it finally started bootlooping 2 years later. Damn thing lasted 8 full years and it was still surprisingly usable after all that, couldn't run a lot of high power apps but anything browser-based ran fine on it and the app support for Android 2.2 stuck around for a long time, just cause of how many $20 burners used (and still use) it. Great phone for the time, and held up quite well.
My first touch phone was from around the same time. It was the Samsung Instinct(M800). The phone was so bad it lagged when I typed to text people. There was nothing like typing a full sentence, only to have nothing happen for a few seconds, and then BOOM the phone buzzes to life with the haptic feedback as the words appear one by one on the screen.
From 2011 through 2013, I had an LG that was eerily similar to this! Bought it because it looked kind of like a smartphone with the touchscreen and all, but had a similar horrendous chuggy OS on it. It technically had a (tiny) virtual QWERTY keyboard that would come up if you dared to type a web address in the “browser”, but it didn’t support QWERTY for texting. You had to type all your messages using a T9 keypad!
During that time I had a similarly crappy LG KP500 also known as the LG Cookie. Back then you were one of the cool kids if you had an iPhone so there was a custom firmware you could flash onto the cookie to make it look like iOS 4
I had one of these as a hand me down from my grandpa (it was an F480T, which was a Telstra version), I actually didn't mind it honestly! If only I know where the charger went....
The lg rumor touch was my first phone, I told my parent that I really wanted an android. The sales guy told them it was basically android... It couldn't run apps at all other than pre installed paid games. Shout out to that sales guy!!
This was the first smartphone to arrive at the shop where I worked at the time. The model name is burned into my memory because it was such a pain in the buns.
I remember when Samsung made their own line of Wave and Wave II phones with the Bada OS. It seemed like a pretty good challenger to the Androids back then, including Samsung's own Galaxy phones. However, few apps jumped into the Bada ecosystem and it faded and met a natural death.
I'm pretty sure I had one of these and at one point took it apart and now the buttons are gone lmao God this thing had some weird ringtones I remember one of my friends at school being obsessed with it
The first touchscreen in my house was either my DS Lite or my dad’s galaxy s5. Yeah, my parents waited a while to get smartphones and I also got my DS used.
My first touch screen phone was a white mytouch 3g back in 2009 ish, it came with Android Donut. I ended up case swapping it with a black shell. I still have it and it still works.
Except for the fact that "bootleg Master system" was actually officially licensed by SEGA themselves. SEGA couldn't sell their consoles on their own due to the laws at South Korea preventing hardware from Japanese companies being sold there, so they turned to SAMSUNG to make a deal for them to produce the consoles as exclusive editions in South Korea. In a similar sense, Nintendo turned to Hyundai to release their consoles in South Korea.
i remember i got this as a gift and also my sister got the same model. but for some reason i got with some kind of developer OS because i could access root files, secret settings, etc
This was my first touchscreen phone back in 2009. I used it until 2011 when i got my first proper iPhone. The only thing i didn't like about it was the reverse scrolling, otherwise it was okay for its time :D
I had a phone that was similar in like 2010. It was a Tracfone that ran J2ME, not Android. I used that thing somehow until around 2013 when I got a ZTE Grand that I used until 2019 when that version of Android stopped being supported for anything. In 2019 I got a 20 dollar TCL at Walmart that I am watching this video on right now. This thing is indestructible let me tell you. It's been dropped in water many times, dropped down the stairs, off the roof, and much more and it still works perfectly to this day. 32 gigs of storage is a bit small for the ~1000+ PDFs I have on it but it has an SD card slot. The only thing is the Micro USB port, but then again I can buy those cables at the dollar store.
I used Samsung's SDK to write widgets for those phones. It was the only way to to install "apps" to these phones (i know a widget is not an app but some widgets behaved like apps like the built-in Facebook widget). It all was extremely laggy and it didn't even support https connections.
Our first smartphone was some sort of Samsung. I wasn’t old enough to remember what the model was but my dad got rid of it after like 8-10 months because it was awful, instead opting for the (at the time) brand new htc one m8
This reminds me of the first original Samsung Omnia windows phone. My sister was using it at the time, and touchscreen was just horrible. There was a stylus that came with it since it barely reacted to your finger. Funny thing is that I still have this phone and it still works.
I'm in the minority here, but I'm quite fond of these nonsmart TouchWiz devices. I was on T-Mobile here in the US at the time and they had a ton of different variants of these. I ended up with a Samsung Highlight. The OS was definitely a lot more polished and wasn't as laggy at that point, but it enabled me to get a phone with unlimited data and messaging far cheaper than a smartphone and still give me most of the functionality.
My mum got one of these used, free from a neighbour in about 2010. Even then it felt awful and backward compared to a friend's ipod touch. Got replaced by an Android Samsung in maybe 2012/3, but was daily used til then
Was this the Aussie mum default smartphone? My mum had one for a few years as well. I don’t remember hating it, but it was pretty basic. She liked the long battery life, and would play solitaire on it in front of the tv most days. Now she’s using a Motorola android phone with much better screen and camera, but still playing solitaire. Love you mum ❤️
First touchscreen in our house was an LG 500 or something, that was €149. My first ever touch screen was a LG cookie fresh, that I still have to this day.
My mom used to have a Samsung Star (a.k.a. the Tocco Lite), which is it's a budget version of the Tocco but without 3G and Wi-Fi. It had a very different UI than the Tocco and it has a better touchscreen navigation than the Tocco.
My first smartphone was a Galaxy sII. I put a lot of thought into if I was going to go Android or iphone, and I decided on Android because it could work with any system where is iPhone could only work with apple systems and I do not have an apple system at the time.
i had a samsung sunburst--my firsy phone actually. it was the only "free" phone at at&t that came w a touchscreen, so i got it and spent the 2 years i had it wishing it ran android
I haved a sgh u800 from samsung, same ui same ringtones everything. I remembered having a custom theme skin on the ui, and also I know I also can make my personalised one
Abi seni yıllardır takip ediyorum inanmassın belki ama tüm videolarını izledim.bir çok sey öğrendim. Bi cesaret kapının önünde fiesta benzin aracıma komple motor yaptım. 3 ay sürdü ama başardım. Allah ragzı olsun senden.
I just got an F480 and it has a much newer firmware installed on it. It doesn't lag and it even has kinetic scrolling. The UX of this original release looks terrible.
I actually had one with that exact os and so did my cousin. the ui navigation was better than on this one and it wasn't as laggy as this one is. A GT-C3510 it was. It had the flick and go navigation for lists it was totally serviceable, not amazing or anything but usable. I just used it as an mp3 player. It didn't have wifi just wap (which is garbage and I never got to use). the camera was awful. One deature that I found super useful that I find Missing from modern smartphones is the ability to search directories and copy things over Bluetooth.
This thing kinda reminds me of my first ever smartphone, the Samsung star 3! I bought that for €60 back in 2012, and it had wifi! I could actually kinda go on TH-cam and Facebook with it, but it was totally terrible.
This shows how far Samsung had come. From terrible UI and a camera a flip phone laughs at, to something responsive, has cameras that can zoom into the freaking moon.
I used to have this phone, was my first ever "Smart"phone. I actually liked this thing, but as soon as I had my first Android I questioned myself how I thought this was any good
On the topic of “not wiping things” I bought a 3DS at cashies, it apparently came from NSW and somehow managed to fumble its way into vic. Anyway, it came with a 2gb as cars and the thing was FULL of photos of some kid, clearly the owner of the DS. Did not enjoy going through and deleting the photos, was very uncomfy seeing someone else’s kids room, pets, and just their life in general..

I'm in the minority here, but I'm quite fond of these nonsmart TouchWiz devices. I was on T-Mobile here in the US at the time and they had a ton of different variants of these. I ended up with a Samsung Highlight. The OS was definitely a lot more polished and wasn't as laggy at that point, but it enabled me to get a phone with unlimited data and messaging far cheaper than a smartphone and still give me most of the functionality.
My mum got one of these used, free from a neighbour in about 2010. Even then it felt awful and backward compared to a friend's ipod touch. Got replaced by an Android Samsung in maybe 2012/3, but was daily used til then
Was this the Aussie mum default smartphone? My mum had one for a few years as well. I don’t remember hating it, but it was pretty basic. She liked the long battery life, and would play solitaire on it in front of the tv most days. Now she’s using a Motorola android phone with much better screen and camera, but still playing solitaire. Love you mum ❤️
My fav phone..
First touchscreen in our house was an LG 500 or something, that was €149. My first ever touch screen was a LG cookie fresh, that I still have to this day.
so sad the dates all messed up, you should add the original dates in the description
Im watching this on a samsung s22 ultra its amazing to see the difference
Oh don’t get me started on the “text this number for the crazy frog song” subscription hell hole sheit
Perfect vid to watch using an old phonr likr samsung s4 new os(runs great btw)
Send it me,please!!!!!!!! I love this phone❤❤❤
My mom used to have a Samsung Star (a.k.a. the Tocco Lite), which is it's a budget version of the Tocco but without 3G and Wi-Fi. It had a very different UI than the Tocco and it has a better touchscreen navigation than the Tocco.
Wow I want that phone
Also a bootleg Nokia N9 that Smoorez reviewed had that interface
Touchwiz: making phones slow AF before Android existed.
Touchwiz was a bloated skin of android
My dad had that exact funny ringtone on his sony Ericsson 😭
i love the old samsung omnia and other old windows phone smart phones (pocket pc)
My first smartphone was a Galaxy sII.
I put a lot of thought into if I was going to go Android or iphone, and I decided on Android because it could work with any system where is iPhone could only work with apple systems and I do not have an apple system at the time.
i had a samsung sunburst--my firsy phone actually. it was the only "free" phone at at&t that came w a touchscreen, so i got it and spent the 2 years i had it wishing it ran android
Ugh, trust me, you don't want pre-4 Android, it was borderline useless.
I had the "LG KM900 Arena"" which was titled the "iPhone Hunter" and it was the finest garbage I ever owned...
THE FIREPHONE WAS DOPE! But ahead of it's time :(
I haved a sgh u800 from samsung, same ui same ringtones everything. I remembered having a custom theme skin on the ui, and also I know I also can make my personalised one
The only difference from this it was the numpad that it had
I think I had the same one back when I was a kid. Or at lest a very similar one.
Wow that path through the trees wallpaper is still around today on modern devices with 8k screens😅
That ring tone was the early versions of dreamy bull
I'm watching without being a patreon.
Abi seni yıllardır takip ediyorum inanmassın belki ama tüm videolarını izledim.bir çok sey öğrendim. Bi cesaret kapının önünde fiesta benzin aracıma komple motor yaptım. 3 ay sürdü ama başardım. Allah ragzı olsun senden.
that's like, the dad of samsung corby and samsung champ
I just got an F480 and it has a much newer firmware installed on it. It doesn't lag and it even has kinetic scrolling. The UX of this original release looks terrible.
Ahhh yess, the resistive touch screens
its capacitive on this model
I actually had one with that exact os and so did my cousin.
the ui navigation was better than on this one and it wasn't as laggy as this one is.
A GT-C3510 it was. It had the flick and go navigation for lists it was totally serviceable, not amazing or anything but usable.
I just used it as an mp3 player.
It didn't have wifi just wap (which is garbage and I never got to use).
the camera was awful.
One deature that I found super useful that I find Missing from modern smartphones is the ability to search directories and copy things over Bluetooth.
I had that samsung phone!!!!
This thing kinda reminds me of my first ever smartphone, the Samsung star 3! I bought that for €60 back in 2012, and it had wifi! I could actually kinda go on TH-cam and Facebook with it, but it was totally terrible.
This shows how far Samsung had come. From terrible UI and a camera a flip phone laughs at, to something responsive, has cameras that can zoom into the freaking moon.
One of my first phone was that also :D
Thankfully got a job eventually and with that wised up and got an iPhone the first gen SE been getting iPhones since
I used to have this phone, was my first ever "Smart"phone. I actually liked this thing, but as soon as I had my first Android I questioned myself how I thought this was any good
I remember those samsung days. Absolutely hated it, those stupid resistive touch screen were garbage. But good times tho haha
I have to many of this thing😂
Thats the Player Style
I have that same phone in my collection
On the topic of “not wiping things” I bought a 3DS at cashies, it apparently came from NSW and somehow managed to fumble its way into vic. Anyway, it came with a 2gb as cars and the thing was FULL of photos of some kid, clearly the owner of the DS. Did not enjoy going through and deleting the photos, was very uncomfy seeing someone else’s kids room, pets, and just their life in general..
Dankpods: Please for the love of god, wipe your devices
Also Dankpods: Please for the love of god, don't wipe your iPods
I had this nugget and i loved it.headpfone jack was anoying
My family's first touch screen was a Samsung Champ
Does anyone remember the Samsung Juke? That phone was ahead of its time in my book
