Thinking about one of my last pre-Smartphone mobile phones. The #Nokia 6288. It was the pinnacle of devices for SMS as texting really took off. In candybar mode (folded up), you did T9. But it opened to a full QWERTY keyboard. The phone also did pre-3G internet (dial up speeds) over Bluetooth.

It was the only time I had a phone stolen from me. I was at a restaurant, and I had it resting on the table. At some point during the meal, it vanished.

 Three silver Nokia mobile phones are displayed at different angles, each showing an image of hands reaching towards each other on their screens. The phones feature a keypad layout typical of early mobile devices. One of the phones is unfolded revealing a full qwerty keyboard. It is split in half with the screen of the phone being between the two halves.

@daj that’s amazing! Does it even work? I’m guessing no. I had a Nokia 5190 and I couldn’t get any connectivity with AT&T even with a new SIM. They are just too old.
