I have had mobile phones for 23 years
My first was a Nokia 9000i - the true forerunner to todays smartphones -
it had Txt, Fax (dual SIM, using a different number to calls) email and
web-browsing (albeit at less than 20kbps) - it ran the Sybian Operating
System and had two screens and a proper "mechanical keyboard... I could
type at 60 wpm using the internal keyboard.
The phone processor itself ran at
33Mhz - compared to 2Ghz for modern equivalent and had just 2Mb of user
storage - but, somehow, I never ran out of space.....
The battery
(Li-Ion) lasted at least as long as most of todays smartphones - but I
had a spare just in case - they plugged into the rear of the case ! I
still have the phone and it is as new condition-wise.
It cost almost £1000 in 1997 !

The three in touch app being discontinued had ramifications for other users. Your post is just reminiscing.
