My, oh, my how far we've come in so few years. Daring Fireball sums it up beautifully:

Hard to believe this was just four years ago. The demo starts around 2:45; the look of utter contempt comes about a minute later.

(Not iPhone friendly, sorry).

  1. Rollins says:

    The look on his face after a few seconds when the music doesn't resume is priceless.

  2. d.allen says:

    I liked that phone back in the day.. one of the better ones I owned for the time.

  3. BriceH says:

    Up to 100 songs! Whoohoo!

  4. PostalUT says:

    Worst. Phone. Ever.

  5. TrinDawg37 says:

    WOW!! The end of that video was just classic! But u can definately see the pre-birth of the iPhone with this vid. They took some of the features this phone had and perfected them with the iPhone..

  6. fastlane says:

    Wonder if he'll ever get back to that weight again. What a difference.

  7. conor says:

    @fastlane, yeah im wondering that to, he looks friggin buff there, his voice kinda ruins it thou :/

    lmao "i hit the wrong button"

  8. Zack Tanner says:

    This phone was awful, it and a mixture of the Cingular network couldn't hold a call if it had to. I owned mine for a few months before I finally just scraped it and bought a cheap phone off eBay which held me over until the first iPhone came out.

  9. mikee d. says:

    that phone was a disgrace. everytime i returned that phone, the camera (with flash!) would stop working after 2 days tops. pure crap. steve probably self mutilates everytime he sees or hears about this video. haha.

  10. Dude says:

    I’d just like to remind everyone today is the last day of summer and I have yet to have MMS…that is all.

  11. Dexter says:

    Alright, Dude, stop it! ;P

  12. Jeremy says:

    Dude, maybe we will have it by next March when Summer ends in Australia.
