Yeah I remember getting the G1 weeks before it came out because the local TMobile store was just sick or me asking every fucking day. I remember rooting it, loving it, then moving to the n900 and thinking “I want this forever” only for fucking Microsoft to buy Nokia and tank Meego
I’m still hunting for leftover stocks of the N950… would love that phone.
Imagine if we got a refresh of that - tilt screen, full QWERTY, modern, large, high resolution display, modern hardware and battery tech, bundled with open bootloader and pick your poison OS…
Not borderline, they’re literally a clickbait farm now. There’s an almost daily release of the exact same articles rehashed (e.g. “these are the main Docker containers I run on every server” title changed up a little and it’s literally always the same 4-5 containers).
i mean this article about wine 11 and ntsync is at least relevant and somewhat technical, not just “i tried out 5 different self-hosted ai butthole identifiers on proxmox - number 4 will surprise you!”
XDA was not always this sensationalist. With that said, I always welcome performance improvements.
My old ass remembers when XDA was a place where you learned how to put Android on your windows phone
putting Android on the HTC HD2. Man college me wanted that phone so badly. And a lot of HTC’s phones tbh
Or hacked up your own android rom because even knowing jack and shit you could.

This would be lovely. I loved the Nokia phones, it’s such a shame it was all ruined by Microsoft.
It’s my dream phone honestly. I really should have grabbed one years ago.
As much as I HATED the way the company put out this phone, you’re describing the FXTEC pro 1
That was the XDA forums, I never found their site very usefuly, but maybe that’s just me.
Oh I know, but for a long time that was the only reason to visit the site.
seriously. their stuff now is borderline clickbait! so. many. listicles.

XDA will write articles these days like:
We were using the flying toasters screensaver before you were even born
