Sonny, back in my day, a cell phone looked like this:



Oh, I'm actually not that old, then. Oops, I guess I'm just crotchety. :v:


Seriously, though, when I was like, 9, these things were out, and you just could not destroy them. My mom dropped hers in the toilet twice. The first time, we took it apart and dried it, and it was alright, but the second time, no go. The battery was all sorts of hosed.

I seem to remember they didn't get great service, though. Nothing is new.

E: nothing much.

I have owned twenty of the phones in that picture. Now I feel old.
