I found my sister's old phone today. The battery was dead, but when I plugged it in it acutally started up. It initializes to 1/1/2009.

Look at this thing! It's adorable! Why don't phones look like this anymore? Can we have this back?

@82mhz oh I have one similar! I remember using the builtin RSS reader 🤓
@pikario
This can do RSS? I think I have to get one now 😄
@82mhz yes! It may depend on the model but mine was a Samsung Player Star.
But maybe it may not work today because of the change of root ssl certificates, to be tested
@pikario
It probably won't work, you're right. Not just because of the root certificates but also connectivity... I'm pretty sure this device has at most 3G connectivity, and the 3G network is turned off here in Germany. Don't know if it has WiFi, but even if it does, it will be limited to WEP and maybe WPA1 encryption, which isn't secure anymore.
@82mhz i think it doesn't even have wifi yeah 😅
It's sad the shutdown the edge and 3G makes a lot of devices useless...
