@odd @Gabz Sidenote: I was working at Google when the first Android phone came out: the HTC Dream/G1. A few members of my team had access to pre-production units and while they were nowhere as nice as the iPhones, we were all very excited. I got mine on release a weeks later. They announced the Nexus One just as I was leaving Google, but stayed around enough to receive one as the annual Christmas gift!
@purisubzi Thats cool! I think the HTC Desire was one of the phones that I’ve been most satisfied with. It had this great looking background too, and a nice weather/clock widget. Just wish it had more RAM and storage.
@Gabz Ha! Same story here. I mean, I sort of cared but not too much, and then she showed me two things: a Sony Ericsson sliding phone that looked ridiculously slick and more importantly, an iPod… and I mean an iPod in 2004. It took me a few more years to really care about this stuff but the seed was very much planted that day.
@simonwoods oh damn! I forgot the iPod 📱, I also remember paying $10.00 for a software upgrade 😅
