Looking Back - 2000 - Ericsson R380 World Phone

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Gorgeous phone. We wants it, we needs it, we must have it.

[@vesselinkrastev]

I'm too young to remember most of these devices but this Ericsson looks really cool. I love the fact that the keys tap on the touch screen below. I wish I could see one up close.

The Infrared port would have been used for connecting a laptop to the internet using the CSD/HSCSD data connection. Speeds were ridiculously slow compared to today's mobile dongles (

[@yosefronaldo]

OK Google "what is the best phone in the world?" "R380 is one of my favorites"

[@frankgunold268]

The Ericsson R380 is a GSM smartphone developed by Ericsson Mobile Communications. It combines the functions of a mobile phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA), and was introduced at CEBIT on 18 March 1999. Released in November 2000, it was the first device marketed as a 'smartphone'.

[@JackHY2K]

This is probably the first touchscreen smartphone ever made. Seems incredible for its time.

[@ILoveWomen]

this isnt the first touchscreen smartphone

[@JackHY2K]

Really? I wasn't aware there were touchscreen smartphones made before 2000.

[@Connie_TinuityError]

Jack H the first is the ibm simon

[@nicholasleonard5061]

Alcatel One Touch Com was probably the first touchscreen smartphone.

[@MI-Tech]

This phone is back from the era that europe was leading in technology concerning mobile phones, Ericsson was one of those leading brands ;) So no wonder north americans never really heard of this phone.

[@CamBunton]

Yep, Nokia and Ericsson in Scandanavia.. ruling the world of mobile tech. How times have changed.

[@SofianAitSaid]

GPRS is not a DialUP connection, the DialUp 2G connection is called CSD/HSCSD

[@CamBunton]

"..it technically wasn't.. it was mobile dialup..."

[@Decorus22]

I love how we're talking about these phones as if they were the part of some ancient society hundreds of years old, when in reality it's 14 years ago

[@Keithbarber]

Technology has rocked along at a rate of knots in the last 20 years

[@jerrywang2226]

I owned this phone! As you said it was quite rare even when it was new, I've never seen another one out in the wild when i had mine. I have to correct you on one thing though, this phone has natural hand writing recognition. So you didn't need to poke at a small keyboard, you could use the pen to scribble letters which would be recognised by the phone. It worked quite well. I remember composing decent sized emails on that... then using dial up to send it out lol. Great review in the phone though!

[@zxy1987106]

In compare with iphone which has no soul, this design is shockingly stand out. Prior on owning my R380 as well, I also bought P900 and P990 for my private collection, just couldn't resist the design.

[@karlag8671]

chillin during quarsntine remembering when life was simple

[@kevinjenkinson6132]

I remember being to type quite fast on this phone. Definitely way better than pressing the numbered keypad multi times to get just one letter. Also I think it was the first phone to be marketed as a "smartphone". The Nokia was also a much bigger more expensive, cumbersome phone so the R380 was much better in this respect.

[@imtiaz3554]

What a trip back in time that was. The joys of having a stylus at the time, and even calendars and email capabilities. We have come so far. Great job. Recommendation: Nokia N95 or N81.

[@ipcw8280]

This was my first smartphone! When I was young!

[@SPIDER-ut3wt]

[@redhed515]

I'm hoping to see a look back at the BlackBerry Pearl. I loved that phone. It was pink and such an attractive device. Dang I could type fast on that little keypad!

[@unexpecteditem7919]

FYI this phone didn't have GPRS - that came later. It just had a data modem for WAP at 9kbps.

[@sowrong6896]

I was 16 in 2000, so yeah, this was the peak of our mobile tech then

[@legend49III]

Xperia Play maybe? Our may not have been the best, but it changed this game a little.(literally, every time I see the Razer Junglecat, or the Bladepad, I look at my phone)

[@legend49III]

*the game*

[@gspkmr]

This was the best phone at those times! I fell for its design and material quality!

[@LucianoVeryNiceHi]

you are WAAAAY too wrong. this phone actually had handwriting recognition that worked 100%; first of all it understood many different ways of writing a letter and additionally you could've TRAINED it to recognize YOUR letters. i had this phone and at the time was struggling to pay college in NYC and after Sept. 11th tuition went up so I had to skip one semester. at the time, I had this phone and used it extensively for everything - from taking notes and writing my lyrics down (because I could!, in subway) to controlling TVs in bars or in shops with IR. We'd sometimes stop in front of the TV shop and change all channels, increase volume on TV and stuff, or change channels in sports bars during a game to see everyone go nuts rofl. after i skipped semester and went back to college, my hand was so used to this phone and hand-writing in it with stylus that i actually had problems moving my hand rightwards when writing on normal paper, and was also drawing a line to separate words as that was the symbol for space... took me a week to restore my hand to write normal on paper lol... it was an amazing phone. did everything that today's phablets do, except photography.

[@fgfoto]

I had it and loved it... But i loved more the p800/900

[@melvinmcmichael1840]

I used to have that phone around that time

[@kostaslekkas10]

Cam, you should do all the reviews on phonedog.Love your videos. A big thank you from me...

Thanks!

[@FrauNoSekai]

I remember my uncle having this phone. It was in English only, since it wasn't released in Italy (if i remember well)... I remember myself playing games with this, even though in 2000 I was 4 years old and couldn't understand English at all x D

[@jdcatabas2260]

When I was watching this video I was wondering "I wonder how it stacked up to Nokia's Communicator series." Lo-and-behold, you mentioned the Communicator shortly! I once heard this rumor that the R380 got inspiration from the fictional, BMW-driving Ericsson JB988 that James Bond used to drive in "Tomorrow Never Dies." It must have been the folding, widescreen LCD setup it had. Doubtful about the authenticity of the rumor though.

[@EcoAcid]

Love these videos! Cam, you make amazing content!

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

If Ericsson, Siemens, Nokia, Blackberry, were still around the mobile phone industry would be a million times better than it is now. Nokia was sadly confined to windows phone when Microsoft rented their mobile division, and now they're entering the Android system, but sadly just like all the mentioned companies, they've been sold to some Asian company, and likely won't bring any innovation and advancement to mobile communication anymore...

[@Connie_TinuityError]

The reasoning of Ericsson not being in the mobile phone industry anymore is very awkward. *VERY* awkward. And has only just made themselves not well known anymore. It also made it worse for another company in the mobile phone industry and THAT is not well known anymore (I'm just referring to their mobile phone industry, nothing else).

[@vikingkong999]

I still love using these physical alphanumeric keypads. Smartphone should revive these concept, physical keypad that folds for bigger screen. We already had tablets so please stop making gigantic phonessss.

Honestly, I don't know. I don't even remember it being around at the time.. I only became aware of its existence a couple of years later when a friend bought one on eBay second hand. Never been able to forget it...

[@CamBunton]

Looks like it came in three variants. R380s, R380 World (this one) and R380e. It was available to buy unlocked in the US. Never came locked from any carrier.

[@stevend3753]

Huh,...good to know, and good research!

[@hamletm8464]

It wasn't available at the corporate stores but the bands matched PacBell (pacific bell) at the time. I remember air touch didn't work but it did work on my pac bell. Back then smaller stores (not corporate) use to sell them and there were more small dealers/agents than corporate stores.

🌑⭕🌗🎤🚧☑️ Humanité (l'),journal quotidien, fondé en 1904 et dirigé par J. Jaurès jusqu'en 1904, organe du parti communiste français à partir 1920. JAURÈS (Jean), homme politique français, né à Castres (1859-1914). Brillant universitaire, journaliste et député républicain (1885-1889), gagné à un socialisme ouvert et humaniste, il fut député socialiste de 1893 à 1898 puis de 1902 à sa mort. Orateur puissant et généreux, fondateur (1904) de l'Humanité, historien original (Histoire socialiste [1789-1900], 1901-1908), Jaurès fut, malgré son opposition aux thèses plus dogmatiques de Jules Guesde, le véritable leader du socialisme français, surtout après l'unification des familles socialistes en 1905 (S.F.I.O ). Partisan d'une armée vraiment nationale (l'armée nouvelle, 1911) et pacifiste militant, il s'attira l'hostilité des milieux nationalistes. Il fut assassiné, le 31 juillet 1914 , à la veille de la première Guerre mondiale, qu'il avait tout fait pour empêcher. S.F.I.O., sigle de Section française de l'Internationale ouvrière, qui a désigné le parti socialiste français de 1905 à 1971. GUESDE [g£d] (Jules BASILE, dit Jules), homme politique français, né à Paris (1845-1922). En 1879, il introduisit les thèses marxistes au sein du mouvement ouvrier français et fit accepter par le congrès de Marseille la création d'un parti ouvrier (P.O.F.). Député de Roubaix (1893-1898), ville dont il fait 《la ville sainte du socialisme》,il représenta Lille à partir de 1906. En conflit avec Jaurès et les millerandistes à propos de la collaboration avec les partis bourgeois, il fit triompher ses idées au congrès d'Amsterdam (1904), la fondation du parti socialiste unitaire (1905) marquant la victoire du guesdisme. En 1914, Guesde accepta d'être ministre d'État.
