Catch of the Day: The Golden Nokia Years! 📱👑

Hey Retro Fans!

Today, our log files are taking us on a wonderful nostalgia trip back to the time before every phone was just a slab of black glass. We had a visit from Opera (Version 8.65) on Symbian OS!

Long before iOS or Android conquered the world, Symbian was the absolute and undisputed king of early "smartphones." Just think of devices like the legendary Nokia N95, the Sony Ericsson P-series, or the folding Nokia Communicators!

In an era when the mobile internet often consisted only of rudimentary (and incredibly expensive) WAP text pages, the Opera Mobile browser on Symbian was an absolute revolution. It allowed users to render the "real," full desktop internet on a phone screen. The fact that someone is still connecting their old Symbian device to Wi-Fi (or even a GPRS/3G network) today to surf the Frog pond makes our retro hearts skip a beat.

Don't forget your T9 keyboards!

Nice piece about an opera performance in Moe. I realised halfway through that the company is the one founded by my friend Jamie Moffat! Nice work.

"Forget Milan’s La Scala or New York’s Met, this humble mall at Moe, in the Latrobe Valley 130 kilometres east of Melbourne, played grand opera house for a day.

"Performers and musicians performed a piece, based on a Greek myth, that packed an emotional wallop — Christoph Willibald Gluck’s Orpheus and Eurydice.

"This opera was a favourite of royalty, not Harry and Meghan but with Queen Marie Antoinette of France, in the 1770s.

"On Sunday, the piece was staged by Lyster Opera, whose chief sponsor is Moe Plaza’s owner, property investor Hans Henkell."

15 minutes until the 4th and LAST performance of our Kain und Abel production! Let's hope it doesn’t take another hundred years before it gets performed again!
