Awesome series. The phones of yesteryears may not be as feature-rich as today's smartphones, but they sure were a lot more fun.

Is it just me or anyone else read those sentences in MrMobile's voice? 😂

One of my friends had an N95 and it always made me so envious of him! That phone was a beauty.

I think you can do a episode on the “iPhone killers” that tanked,most notably are the Nokia 5800 and the BlackBerry Storm(or 9500)

i500 was not only my first Nextel but my first cell phone! Then I got my future wife the i550 so we could two-way each other! Now after almost 20 years of marriage we still "chirp" each other with the Zello app on our Samsung phones! Keep up the good work Michael!

One on the n70 would be amazing too, it was a legendary phone around here.

Pleeeeeeaaase do the one with N95 8GB version. It was my second ever phone (right after K750i) and the one that I carried for so many years. It was a smartphone before smartphones.

The N95 was an amazing phone, my dad had several of them, when the sliding ribbon went or the speaker would get full of metal filings (he's a fabricator) he would cannibalise one for parts and he did this repeatedly for years. He did the same for a Nexus 6 that he's only just upgraded. I always loved the N86 myself, had one but unfortunately the build quality wasn't great and the vibration made the top slider rattle something horrible so it had to go back. I'd been pining for that phone for so long before I ended up replacing it with a 5800

I owned an N95 mini, loved texting on it. Always felt like a show-off

The n95 was awesome. I had two devices. First the normal white and later the black version.

You should do an episode about Sony Ericsson "Walkman" phones. I love the SE W950i and I still use my W960i.

I want to see all the weird Nokia smartphones that came from 2000-2010. I'm sure there are a whole lot of phones ranging from a flip phone with wifi and many more!

I had fun with "The Messaging Phones" in the latest episode of When Phones Were Fun. But I think I'm even more excited that this officially frees me up to do a Nextel video! (Or maybe Nokia N95; we'll see.) Meantime, if you want a nostalgic dive into mobile history for a lazy Sunday ... check out the whole series playlist here!
