I recently got a new phone which is mildly exciting!
Here, for your enjoyment is every phone i have owned!
Ericsson T28 2002-2006
Loved this one - it had a flip thing that sprung open when you pushed a button. You could also turn it sideways and play tetris!
Nokia 3330 2006-2013
oooh a colour screen! and basic picture messages! and a radio! This was a real workhorse and also virtually indestructible and survived being drop kicked scross rooms on numerous occasions.
I assume you’ve hunted around to see if there’s some special setting for this on your Samsung? My phone does this and my old Android did too so it’s clearly something Android SHOULD be able to do.
I sort of remembered brand names and as I googled them I kept seeing pictures I recognised on G images. I recalled about half of the actual phones I’ve owned.
Very good thanks Theo, a very useful purchase. Kept me going for a weekend away in Milan without a plug socket, is useful to have for daytrips etc, charges my Nintendo Switch ok etc.
Used to have one of those T28s, was absolutely indestructible.
Then had something like this:
Then a Nokia that lasted a good while.
My first foray into Smartphones was a HTC of some description - Desire maybe? - that lasted about 2 months before I put it in the washing machine. Replaced it with a Samsung Galaxy Mini. Then an S3 Mini and then an S4 mini.
And now I’m on an iPhone SE (and wish I’d stuck with an Android)
Nokia 5110
Nokia 3310
Nokia 3430
Motorola RAZR
A couple of Sony Ericsson phones
HTC Desire S
Samsung Galaxy s3 mini
Sony Xperia Z3c (lovely phone, but really shoddily built. Headphone jack went quickly and the screen went soon afterwards)
Back to the Samsung
And finally, got this Moto G5 plus the other day.
Nokia 3210
Another Nokia
Some Siemens thing with an eternal battery life, now my dad’s phone which he doesn’t use or turn on
Razr
A Nokia with a colour screen that I lost in Sainsbo’s
Colour screen Sony Ericsson when I was at uni
A really fat Nokia that I could get Twitter and Facebook on but not much else
Moto G
Newer Moto G
Most of them were hand-me-downs from my mum when she got a new phone so and never lasted long. First phone I bought for myself was the Moto G
