Sure, the very first iPhone released today, but does anyone remember the first Android smartphone?
In October of 2008 HTC’s T-Mobile G1, or HTC Dream as it’s known outside the U.S would launch being the first phone with the Android OS. The G1 was priced at $179 — which was pretty affordable even in those days — and featured top-of-the-line specs including a Qualcomm MSM7201A processor, 192MB of RAM, and 256MB of internal storage (expandable up to 16GB). It also stocked a 3.15MP rear camera, and a 1,150mAh battery.
I prefer on screen keyboards now with swipe typing being a standard.
I recall seeing physical keyboards on at least one phone that still let you swipe text.
I think it was a blackberry one, IIRC
And that’s fine. I just miss there being choices. I get that the hinges increased costs, but dammit, why can’t we just have some expensive phones with hinges and let people choose?
