I Bought 96 Pounds Of Smartphones And Cell Phones... Here's What I Found
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лют 2022
- I saw this tote full of old phones sticking out in a warehouse at a metal recycling company we've been working at. I wasn't sure they'd sell them but I had to go ask. It turns out they were for sale for $5 a lb, I said I'd take them and we carried them to the scale to find out it was 96Lbs worth. $500 dollars later I was out the door with more phones than I can count and 25 more pounds of chargers to go with them. Let's dig in, bring back some memories, and see what my $500 bought me!
#CellPhone #Nokia #TechThrowback
Bit of a crazy update... I've pulled over 20 working iPhones (although some are activation locked) out of the tote! 3G, 3Gs, 4, 5, 6, 6S, 7 just to name a few.
Cars and phones your awesome dude!!!
@Ron Jerome yes
Activation Lock shouldnt be an issue for someone with your l33t skillz, but carrier support is still a problem
The cheap old iPhone with the white back an iPhone 5c
This is like when Techmoan bought those huge bags of minidisc players.
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING OF!!!!!!
True
@@ModricoTV Same here! I was wondering "hey, didn't I already see this one...?"
Trueee
I love techmoan videos.
JR, I thought you a busy enough guy as it is… and now you have a retro tech channel?!
I worked for AT&T/Cingular for 12 years. I was there when the first iPhone launched. I sold a ton of these phones. I loved this video. By the way the pink blackberry was actually a blackberry curve. The pearl had the T9 keyboard.
Yup, I had both a Pearl and Curve. Blackberry Messenger was the absolute best.
@@slammedniss I had a Cingular Pearl 8100
Ahh I worked for VZW and my 8830 was so fucking good. I kept that forever until I got a iPhone 3G.
Yeah looks like a 8330 wonder if its got an MEID or a good old 4C hexadecimal ESN
you can hot wire most of those phones by using a variable power supply and some thin wires that you sandwich between the battery. Just put some thin Kapton tape over the battery leads first to be safe. I love the new channel! I had quite a few of those phones over the years. This really brought me back.
great episode, a nice stroll down memory lane. When i was in Europe back in 2001, they had a more advance cell phone network or better phones with prepaid. I had a candy bar prepaid phone , Sagen and it was light years better than what was available stateside. The StarTac phones were bullet proof. Awesome haul.
You know a phone has seen some SHIT when it's broken inside of an otter box
22:59 - The Motorola Slider on Verizon was my first Smartphone back in 2010. I upgraded from the Razr flip phone John showed before it.
When jrgo isn't fiddling with cars.
I used to be a tech for Verizon Wireless, right off the bat I spotted what I think is a LG VX3000 maybe? The Palm Treo's were awesome. One of the earliest phones I remember being able to run emulators on. I had a co-worker that played NES games on his regularly haha.
As I was typing this out you covered it, 8100. The LG VX8300 was an absolute tank.
I’m blown away with how many of those phones I actually owned or used for work over the years! I probably personally had over 75% of the phones you have there…
what on earth... I don't even recognize most of them. I certainly recognize some my friends had and whatnot, but most models I've experienced personally or via friends or close relatives are missing so far.
Flashbacks....great purchase!! Look forward to catching the reviews later.
I do miss phones like this. Back when they weren't afraid to make phones unique
*DankPods salivates over the huge nugget collection*
32:38 glad you found my old Samsung model! it was so cool with its flipping, its MP3 player and even an internet browser that I obviously never had a subscription for because that would have financially ruined my parents! oh and the secondary screen that showed the currently playing song, of course!
I’m glad you couldn’t hear me yelling at the screen about the iPhones 😂 the bent one is a 6 plus, the other thin one is a 6 or 6s, the one with the black strip at the top and bottom is a 5s.
It's been so long, I owned all those iPhones and have completely forgotten what gen is what!
@@TechThrowback me too! Except the 5C. I had a regular 5 at the time because all of my friends that had the 5C hated them
Palm Treo’s were awesome, place I worked at we had lots of them for corporate phones that I had to support. I worked at HP when we bought Palm, I still have 2 of their Touchpads that they offered to employees, one is still new in the box. I almost got a Palm Pre as my corporate phone but then Leo stepped in and killed Palm, was really sad to see that, I was a big Palm fan. My favorite phone was the Centro.
You should do a video on seeing what's on those SD cards, lol.
Especially the ones that were in phones with good cameras
Yo, if you get into series of phones, before the iPhone, around 2005 or 2006 Motorola released the SLVR L7 with I tunes. Seemed like a big deal at the time. Might be a cool way to illustrate how Apple dipped their toes into the cell phone market before going all in for the 2007 release of the iPhone.
"I found that I had lost two zeroes from my bank acct... It's OK tho, I'm floating in money."
That Nokia 822 was one of the mid ranges... I had a Nokia 920 (their first flagship Windows phone) for work when they first came out... built like a tank, like all Nokias should be (dented my hardwood floor when I dropped it from the second floor), battery lasted for days, and the CZ camera was easily 3 years ahead of the rest of the market. App support was pathetic, though, which for a work phone didn't matter anyways (email/text/browser/o365 is all I needed).
also... he mentions that he has a blackberry that has survived for 2 weeks on standby, but the Lumia 920 did that as well! it was one of the reasons these WIndows phones were so great. In airplane mode I believe I got over a month out of it, despite using it as night clock and alarm (this was when it was at least 3 years old and I'd replaced it)
I've since acquired two more Lumia 920s and made a fully functional and flawless looking one out of them, plus it gave me lots of spare parts. the only problem mine had after the 3.5 years I used it as my only phone was that one of the speaker grills no longer produced sound. I still don't know how that happened, because it only has a single speaker... but either way I fixed it now. after years of laying in my drawer, it also got the screen yellowing issue, hence I needed some extra replacement parts.
still the best phone I've ever had. truly wonderful thing. would love to try a 1020 and 1520 as well one day.
Dude how many channels do you have. Do you ever sleep? 😆 🤣
21:30 in, that's a BB Curve... you know what this channel needs to review? A ZUNE
Ha! I have an original Zune AND a Zune HD. Way better than they ever got credit for.
@@billiam247 yep I've got an original somewhere around here, even had the speaker dock.
The Walkman slider phone came with its own headphones, that actually plugged into the charge port
See this video as recommended, damn you algorithm! It knew I wanted a Techmoan/WatchJRGo hybrid.
Dude! what the heck! I didnt know you were a phone nerd too! Love this..
21:49 The GlagglePhone
The touch screen BlackBerry you pulled near the end is the storm. It was a verizon exclusive
You gotta do the rest of the box. I loved this video.
I just looked in a drawer and have a Palm Pre, crappy hardware but really good o/s for the time. It would multitask when it came out, way ahead of its time.
I FOUND A PRE!! It was at the bottom and very very broken though, such a cool design
On today's episode of WatchJrGo-... Wait a minute!
"Smart phones and cell phones" They are the same thing. Smartphone is just a modern, smart version of a cellphone.
That Sansa is dope ass hell I still use one of those everyday, it has all my music from highschool on it
The walkman phone needs the associated adapter that all Sony Ericsson phone shipped with. I'm pretty sure I still have the cables around here 🙂
The Nokia 3310 is the tough one
that fitst blackberry was a curve not a pearl, the pearls were tiny and narrow. that nokia windows phone was i believe a Lumia 810 or 820.. one of the first windows OS phones, that first white iphone is an old SE. i may have batteries and parts for some of those, if you are interested DM me, I'm local to you.
I probably have 40 to 50 old cell phones. I do auctions and have a retail junk store. Every time I would get one, I would throw it into a bucket. I even have a old bag phone. If you got a address, I will send them too you. Mabey you can do something with them. Love your videos. AKA South Side Junk And Disorderly.
Would love to have them! My email is techthrowback at gmail
@@TechThrowback I sent a email to you. Get me a address and I will send them your way.
@16:30 thats the samsung reclaim, did not run android and if memory serves me correctly it was made with a bunch of recycled stuff. cute phone tho
This video made me go find my old phones from around my house...lol
Didn't know JR has a 2nd channel...
I don’t know how this was suggested but I’m glad I found you JR
My first phone was a nokia 6010 threw it against the wall about 15 times when i was bored turns out those bricks do break lol
Do a Livestream with your supporters on discord. I was calling out the models and could tell you the bands etc off the top of my head.
I do electronics recycling at my repair shop and I have a huge bin of phones that I can't lift 😅 come get em!
Very interested, can you shoot me an email? Techthrowback at gmail
It's time to start the gold reclamation channel to get gold from old electronics, then use the gold to buy a car to fix on your other channel and sell it. After that you can buy a storage unit for another channel before eventually buying a haunted ghost town for your last channel. Finally after all this you should grow a beard and start fixing cars again before you get more old electronics.
37:05 LG Scoop/Rumor(Sprint). Great phone, has Facebook preloaded onto it.
Almost got a Blackberry Torch to replace my Samsung Sidekick 4G which had stopped getting updated, as I wanted the mini QWERTY keyboard. Ended up going with a Motorola.
This is the coolest thing ever
Your voice reminds me of Matt Risinger's…
Note 8 S pen is held in with detents on the side. When you pull it out you can see them about midway between the tip and the side button. A positive latch instead of just a friction fit.
The yellow Nokia 918+ was my first cell phone. Got it on my 16th birthday… everyone called it the banana phone.
JR... Didn't know you started a new channel - Interesting :)
Suggestion for a video those rugged fones should do a test to see how rugged they actually are maybe
I'll get one fired up and we'll throw it off the building 😳
@@TechThrowback Maybe run it over with the dump truck 😬
That nokia phone 42:29 was my favourite phone my uncle use to have that, its metal body ❤️
The Kyocera Duraxt is super rugged it is basically indestructible, I have mine since 2013, I went though 2 of them,unfortunately 3G is being phased out,I have to replace it.
at 27:00 and change its a black jack 1 or 2... to compete with the black berry
When I left Sprint I took about 25 old phones I had accumulated and made a tower of phones sculpture for my desk. People always comment on which of the phones they use to have.
38:46 Blackberry storm. What a piece of crap. I have one back in the day.
That much of old lithium batteries? Yes, smoking is right word. 😂
I had that green samsung slider phone. It was awesome. I was texting while using the bathroom after a few adults beverages. I dropped the phone in the toilet! The phone was not waterproof.
I allways like digging through old phones, i do have a 9 Litre tub of older devices...(3310 and Dynatac included 😝)
ahh the days when it was simple to remove the battery
The Trēo was my favorite. Especially the 700wx. Amazing battery life, great operating system, and great features.
Did you identify LG with broken screen and buttons on the back from about 38:30. It maybe a LG G2 which was LG's Android flagship in 2013. Which was the first phone with power and volume buttons on the back for ergonomics as that is where your hand touches back of phone. LG claimed the G2 was the 1st phone with double tap to wake. A direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and IPhone 5 or 5s.
My first cell phone was a Sony Ericsson DH3xx series, around the 1998/1999 timeframe if I remember correctly. Then the Nokia 5xxx series, where you could change the antenna... Ahh the memories.
one of my favorite phone i used to have was the nokia 6110 navigator
26:11 no, it’s an iPhone 3G, which is the second iPhone.
7:45 it's the black berry curve 8330
RIP Sprint.
Check the Samsung phones even if they have broken screens. Flagship Samsungs starting from Galaxy S9 have a fully featured desktop OS called DeX. You can plug it into your computer or external display and use it like a portable laptop.
22:58 looks like Motorola Droid 2 Global
Those later Nokia windows phones were some of my favorites. Nokia build quality all around. They had an amazing camera and did everything quickly without needing apps. Which is what unfortunately helped kill it, as people want apps and Microsoft didn't support it.
Don't forget that Google and Snapchat were actively boycotting the platform. I think without that, WP would have been fine.
When you get some time how about a purchase, restoration and flying an old C150 or similar....
Blackberry storm? Oh gods i had one of those. Nightmare
i had the Sony Ericson phone!! it had a proprietary media connector to 3.5 for headphones. man that phone was solid and i loved it! had it going to college in 2008
Speaking of “full color”, when I was two years old I had a working Motorola V60T Color. I could operate it without a manual, which surprised everyone who saw me at church with it. This was at the same time I had my first phone ever in my collection, the pink Motorola RAZR V3M on Verizon.
Everyone was like: “YOU HAVE A PHONE?!?”
Nowadays everyone and their cat/dog has a phone
As I've said before my father worked at a CBS station, they got iPAQs in the early 00s. I was blown away that you could play .WMVs on them. And that wasn't so long ago. My first phone was that XCingular Phone was tiny
Is it the Pantech C300? Is that the phone you’re talking about?
@@ModricoTV Yes. Still have it somewhere
Dont get all the chargers tangled. lol
That white iphone is a 5c :)
13:47 I looked it up, this iPhone is an iPhone 5c.
It'd be neat to see someone build a transceiver for those old phones.
You don't have enough phones you need to buy more phones
I still the iconic 80s brick phone and a Bag phone from Motorola
Look at all those nuggets! DankPods would be proud. lol
I had hp Ipaq 2790.. that was best thing to have in coledge :) I read so many books with it..
i saw a moto razr! i used mine for years till it was beyond repair.
I am missing my car videos for this...... just kidding love all your videos
Wait John Ross……..
an interesting set of nuggets
Think your Samsung @27:20 is a Blackjack.
Loved mine. Ran Windows Mobile.
Our old Bishop in my ward used to work at Microsoft back in the day. He said his was “a little more like a BlackBerry” which is true because it DID look like one. (I’m LDS by the way)
26:48 that’s an iPhone 3GS.
You probably have a huge collection of peoples photos on those, and messages and stuff.
Watch JR Go...
Buy a bunch of old phones
I did not know he had a second channel
Some of them aren’t even cell phones, just wireless indoor phones.
Bro I’ve got to say I’m hella jelly. And dam a 2 go mico sd card, those were used to store your contacts,
If you want to use those Nokia Lumia windows phones, you only have a few months left. Even though they are 4G they used CDMA for voice and Verizon's killing that by the end of the year.
I was selling Version when they came out. They were really well built phones, and Windows Phone OS was actually decent. But it was like 2 years too late, and the app store was super weak compared to Android and iOS, and most people didn't care at that point. They only sold because they had crazy subsidies on them and we could give them away for nothing and still make a good margin.
The Blackberry without the Keyboard was called the Storm. It was VZW's answer to the iPhone, they influenced the design and it was carrier exclusive in the US.
In reality, it was a colossal turd and opened the door for Android to swoop in and crush RIM. The Screen on that one wasn't broken...that's just how they were. There is a metal dome switch under the middle of the screen that is supposed to replicate the "click" of real keys. I always assumed they originally intended there to be buttons on all four corners but it was cut for cost so the screen just sorta floats there and the feel is terrible.
Blackberry Touch was amazing at the time
Great unbinning video, thanks!
please tell me these are ultimately going to end up being sent to a reclamation facility somewhere.
