my mom had the S5230W Star WiFi. which is basically the same as this phone with a display .2 inches bigger. i remember it being really slow but it was ok for calls and text which at the time is what we all cared about lmao

[@TheSergeyJW]

I had the star but without the wifi. It only ran mobile Java apps and games, most of which were developed with physical buttons in mind. So most apps would just fill half the touchscreen with a grid of emulated number buttons (like on an old phone) just so you can navigate the app. It was so shit. I loved it. Brings back memories...

Or even convert from original to whichever specs work best for this phone. But then it'd not be a true review of how the actual camera and microphone record media. But would be a good test of playing better original footage, but converted to this phone's specs.

These pre-Android/Pre-Galaxy days with Samsung smartphones were wild. I remember my mom and dad both having one called the Samsung memoir, it was cool at the time and did its job as a phone pretty well. But the OS was terrible, it had no apps, the screen was functional but I don't think it was multitouch. My parents eventually moved on to other phones and my mom gave me her Memoir because at the time I was still using my Nokia Xpress music. Takes me back to those early days of post-iPhone smartphones, and a particular story about some dickhead I worked who had to let everyone know he had a smartphone. I think it was Samsung again when they were still loading whatever non Android os on their phones, but better than the Memoir and he would go on and on about styluses were the way to go with smartphones for some dumbass reason like "why would you want to touch the screen!". And I'm like dude, who wants to keep pulling a stylus out every time they want to use their phone?

[@meraklija316]

It's especially funny to read while actually touching a screen.😂

[@real_swiftydragon]

I inherited an F480 from my dad and it became my first phone through senior school.. until I had another Samsung smartphone bought for my birthday a few years later. The phone worked so well for me, it wasn’t the best but I’d had worst before! After I never needed it, it got passed to my uncle and then I lost track of what he did with it. Then for the sake of nostalgia, last year I bought one of these for myself but when I booted it up it turns out it was an F480i, which is an improved model from the normal one and one thing it did improve on was the finger scrolling.

[@Armadurapersonal]

i had one of those in 2009 and when i got it i was the happiest kid around. iphones were like $600 and spending that kind of money in a phone wasn't normalized yet back then, even more for a kid but yeah they aged badly.

[@huntergreen5614]

I'm pretty sure I had this exact phone as my first 'smartphone' in high school

[@LenKusov]

The first Galaxy generation a year after this was really when Samsung actually started to get halfway cromulent, they REALLY found their feet with the Galaxy S in 2010 though. My dad had the Galaxy S Captivate (the AT&T exclusive trim) to replace his old flip phone and, after he finally ditched it for an S5 in 2016, gave it to my sibling who used it til it finally started bootlooping 2 years later. Damn thing lasted 8 full years and it was still surprisingly usable after all that, couldn't run a lot of high power apps but anything browser-based ran fine on it and the app support for Android 2.2 stuck around for a long time, just cause of how many $20 burners used (and still use) it. Great phone for the time, and held up quite well.

[@blitzer25blitz62]

back then, the Omnia i900 and the Xperia X1 are my dream phones...

From 2011 through 2013, I had an LG that was eerily similar to this! Bought it because it looked kind of like a smartphone with the touchscreen and all, but had a similar horrendous chuggy OS on it. It technically had a (tiny) virtual QWERTY keyboard that would come up if you dared to type a web address in the “browser”, but it didn’t support QWERTY for texting. You had to type all your messages using a T9 keypad!

I'm in the minority here, but I'm quite fond of these nonsmart TouchWiz devices. I was on T-Mobile here in the US at the time and they had a ton of different variants of these. I ended up with a Samsung Highlight. The OS was definitely a lot more polished and wasn't as laggy at that point, but it enabled me to get a phone with unlimited data and messaging far cheaper than a smartphone and still give me most of the functionality.

I have a Samsung a23, and I can't believe that little tiny Korean company who made a bootleg Sega Master System has progressed that much.

[@Mike-77-YT]

Except for the fact that "bootleg Master system" was actually officially licensed by SEGA themselves. SEGA couldn't sell their consoles on their own due to the laws at South Korea preventing hardware from Japanese companies being sold there, so they turned to SAMSUNG to make a deal for them to produce the consoles as exclusive editions in South Korea. In a similar sense, Nintendo turned to Hyundai to release their consoles in South Korea.

I had a phone that was similar in like 2010. It was a Tracfone that ran J2ME, not Android. I used that thing somehow until around 2013 when I got a ZTE Grand that I used until 2019 when that version of Android stopped being supported for anything. In 2019 I got a 20 dollar TCL at Walmart that I am watching this video on right now. This thing is indestructible let me tell you. It's been dropped in water many times, dropped down the stairs, off the roof, and much more and it still works perfectly to this day. 32 gigs of storage is a bit small for the ~1000+ PDFs I have on it but it has an SD card slot. The only thing is the Micro USB port, but then again I can buy those cables at the dollar store.

[@ivanuremovic1199]
