Anybody remember the really awful phones that existed right before this? I had a “Verizon” brand phone that had the worst precursor to modern GPS on it. Made being a delivery driver very challenging as it would die and the maps were not accurate.
Would not recommend
I still look back fondly on my Samsung BlackJack; that phone was fantastic. I still have my HTC Tilt 2 (that was the ATT branded name for it; I can’t remember what HTC called it) and it still works.
There were lots of good/cool phones before the iPhone.
