Hey John, noticed the black ipod you pulled out happened to have a black dot on the screen. Pretty sure the internal battery is swelling, might wanna get that replaced before it breaks the screen! There's also a bunch of cool mods to go from the hard drive to flash storage! they're definitely fun little devices to play with
Nexus 5X has issues with flash and CPU failure. I used to have to put them in a bag and put them in the ice maker at work to get them powered up for long enough to get them to power on to recover peoples photos.
Crazy the difference between the 4 and 7+, I made the switch from 4S->6+ and it definitely took awhile to get used to. So cool to see the old Palms and Clies! Looking forward to those.
I still have 2 of the Droid 2 sliders, only mine are the r2d2 editions with matching docks. They went on sale when new because people didn't want a star wars phone. They make the most horrendous R2D2 noises when booting and you can't bypass it. Several meetings interrupted by that thing.
Hey, it’s that JohnRoss guy that fixes cars and saves 100%Jake’s day. Hey, do yourself a favor in this room if you can - get some acoustic foam for the walls. There’s enough reverb that it’s noticeable.
If we were playing cell phone bingo, I think I would have a real shot at winning… I had so many of those phones. Those old school Windows phones bring back memories. I used to flash all the custom ROMs. When I was poor, I bought a Palm Pre and hacked it to work on Cricket because I couldn’t afford t o pay someone to flash it. If I remember correctly, the Palm Pre and the newer Windows phones are all but useless now since they’ve shut down most of the servers that basically everything ran on, or the apps are too outdated. It’s fun to look back and see all the crazy ideas that companies green lit back then. I kind of miss that… Everything now is so similar. Thanks for bringing out the inner geek in me!
So here's the real question: do any of those feature phones use 4g? Or are they all basically museum pieces now that they're shutting down 3g? At least with the smart phones they have some utility even without phone service especially on WiFi. (I know most of these are just "classic" nostalgia pieces, not intended to be useful anymore, and I do get that. Just the "ready to go" had me wondering)
That Nexus 5X brought so many memories back. Got one for free from a family friend in 2018 when my galaxy s6 died and used it for about a year. That fingerprint scanner was the best one i've ever seen on a phone and it was so clean and worked awesome. Sadly it died due to water damage later, i wish i had it again.
That LG with the drum machine in it is the Chocolate Touch. I still have mine close by. Really cool phone at the time. It also had a built in FM radio.
I had a StarTac.....but after that I had a Motorola TimePort......such a great old phone....I could use them anywhere and would still get signal. Love this channel I just found from your other channel.
Hey John, love that channel. Made me check what I have in stock. And there are some. For example my beloved Sony Ericsson W890i - so cool still today. Complete in box. Great you found a Palm Pre - my start to smartphones. And I still have two complete in box :) Oh boy. Memories....
I think you are undervaluing some of these phones I know the price people will pay for many of those. I’ve worked with phone sales and repair on an off since the mid 2000s and it’s shocking how many phones I’ve had. I have had maybe 60 to 70% of these lol. I had a mega phone love back in the day
I had one of those HTC Windows Mobile phones around 2008-2009. Really solid and advanced phone for the time. Went with a iPhone 4 after that and have had a iOS phone ever since. Would be cool to see a T-Mobile Sidekick on the channel one day.
The bigger batteries out of the Treo 650 or 700 should work in the 680 or similar that use the slimmer battery. Pinout is identical and back in the day some company even made special back covers that allowed to use the larger batteries for more runtime. Also check out Dmitry Grinbergs Palmpowerups software. Palm OS was the best ever. like 90% of the Palm Pre have a defunct touchscreen today. there is some delamination going on. Try to find the HP Pre3 which was the last phone developed by Palm.
Those Motorola Droid 2 global phones that you showed had notorious touch screen issues. I went through 4-5 of them when they were brand new. The reason I switched to iPhone was that phone actually.
Just came across your channel and immediate subscribe but this video in particular was quite a blast from the past. The Moto Q you had was my first 'smart' phone and I loved it. I had the Sprint Q9c version. But having the PocketPC style Windows Mobile instead of the touch version was nice and preferred at the time for me. WinMo was a lot more open to tweaking/hacking/etc than Android and iOS are now. The Motorola candy bar phone you had towards the end was another fun surprise to see. That is one of the last holdouts of the old Nextel/iDEN network before it finally got shut down. Wonderfully slow 14.4k data speeds but being based on Motorola's tried and true two way radio systems, that network was reliable as hell. And of course can't forget the OG Droid. My first Android device. Long in the tooth now and even back then it had its growing pains (the lack of decent internal storage, relying on SD cards for most of your apps being one of the main points IMHO) but it was still a solid phone. The slider keyboard needs no introduction. The bedside alarm dock that you could get for it that automatically put it into a desk clock mode was a nice touch. Just drop it in. Lastly, the old school 'double click' camera shutter buttons. I MISS THESE. I wish manufacturers would bring that back.
The Palm Pre was one phone I loved until if messed up on me, one night it was on the charger and lcd cracked making it hard to use. Then a paid to get it replaced, then after they took my money a month later the issue became a none defect that they would replace under warranty. The next one had software issues, then the 3rd one randomly deleted contacts and apps and they phone out it’s a problem with that one too. That how I ended up with sprint first Samsung galaxy, they let me choose a new Comparable phone from stock because they had to replace it so many time in like 6 month time frame.
seeing this makes me realize im old :))) had a M star tak, had a htc one touch pro, had many of the oldies, thought i saw a nokia 3110 in the first video, oh, had a nokia 5110 too :))) and the 81xx and 82xx series :)) when the top of fashion was to have the smallest phone there was, not like they are now, when you cannot hold them in your hand even.
JR can you use any of the phones for video production? Extra camera stuff? That's what I would be using them for. That or bumper mounts. You lose them no big deal. That or put locators on them and use them for pranks.
I had/have that 4900 Sanyo. I even had the desktop dock that had the usb port out the side. They quit selling the charging/usb cable at the sprint store when Sprint launched their 3G service. The dock was supposed to be used for people to use the phone as a modem, but like dial-up modem, and use your minutes. However, the 3G service was an always-on thing and although it was a seperate flat rate charge, it was unlimited. (Shortly after I had gotten the phone, Sprint called me and asked me if I wanted to Beta test that service and they would give me a special price that would not change once it went nationwide. I said yes.) The reason they took the charging dock out of the store and that cable is that when they launced the 3G service it wasn't long before people realized they could use their phone's 3G service for, what at the time, was a pretty fast speed. Especially if you were using a Tangerine iBook laptop. It wasnt' as bogged down with bloatware, like PC's were, and at that time, websites were still pretty flat. the iBook from 1999 I got used, the phone was from 2002. It was a good combo for a while. I liked the idea that I was using the phone & the g3 service in a way they hadn't intended the customers to do, but they couldn't stop me. Tethering, before wireless hotspots. lol (btw, I had the Motorola, time port, and when that was stolen, the Q. I hated moving from a physical keyboard, so I went with the Samsung Epic, then eventually iPhone 5, 6, 8, now 12pro)
The startac was my first cellphone I got it when I was 19. Everyone else had the Nokia brick phones I remember people nerding out about my startac….. time really fly’s
Wasn't there a recall on the 7? I can't rememeber if it was for battery or what. Either way, if it was that, it might be eligible for a new battery, which would be cool and the phone would last a while. The thing that sucks is that there's an OS cutoff, due to hardware included in later models that the older ones don't support in the current OS.
My first cell phone was the Motorola 550. Back in the day people looked at you funny for having a cell phone. I was at dinner and a waiter started giving me crap for having one, asking if I thought I was a big shot. I was in the Marine Corps and it was less expensive than long distance calls home using a pay phone. I wonder if he sees the value in having a cell phone today…probably not, big brain boy.
You were talking about loop-locked. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S7 that is Google loop-locked at start that won't let me pass, even thought the information I put in it is correct. Do you have a solution for this? So far the methods I tried from the internet have failed. Haven't tried putting the sim card in method yet. Lots of phones have come and gone just in that bucket alone. Wow!
The slider Motorola was known as the Droid. That was the first one. It was a huge hit because it finally was something to compete with the iPhone on Verizon, the iPhone being an AT&T exclusive at the time. Android was also exclusive to T-Mobile originally, and went nowhere. Verizon's prior big iphone competition was the Blackberry Storm, which was a collosal piece of garbage, and pretty much killed RIM. The Droid's success pretty much forced Apple to come to the table with Verizon and work out a deal because even apple die-hards were not willing to leave Verizon's vastly better network (at the time) for the iPhone. The 2nd one you had was called the Droid MAXX and was 4g and a few years later. Verizon actually had to pay Lucasfilm a license fee to use the Droid name. After they threaten a lawsuit. But they made up and there was even a Star Wars themed version of the Droid, painted to look like R2D2 with special sounds.
Nice, John! I've never had an Android phone since I've been on an iPhone since 2007, upgrading every year. Prior, however, I did have two different Motorola Star-tacs (one normal and one really small) and a few Razrs. Love the content! :)
It must be a ballache doing a video for WatchJRGo and getting your nails all blackened with oil, then doing the "closeup hands" on these tech reviews! 😄
@@TechThrowback FRP bypasses can be difficult but every single one i have done was free. if you just google the phones name with FRP bypass after the phones name you can get some that will definitely work but it also depends on Android version that will it work. i think it is possible to bypass the Note 8's FRP on Android 9 but bypassing 8 or 7 could possibly be easier
Think I still have a couple of the first flip and slider phones I finally got. I just originally wanted a decent feature phone with a camera and didn't want to pay extra for a data enabled plan. Eventually it got cheap enough they were offering free Android phones for upgrading. I ended up with a Samsung galaxy S3 and it was pretty good at the time and I used it quite a while till it was finally stolen when someone drove away with my work van while I was on a ladder working. Upgraded to a Moto G5plus and still using it. They want serious money now to upgrade to a really nice phone or pay to lease it instead of giving you a decent older phone like they used to. You can outright buy decent unlocked refurbished and new phones now anyway so why play their games.
My mom had a palm pre and l9ved it for years until the palm equivalent of the app store shut down it was the only non Motorola phone she has ever owned
sadly LG no longer makes phones and they shut down the ability to use the phones on any network. so sadly the only thing the lg phones are good for is a wireless tablet kind of thing.
Hey Jr! Would u sell me the note 8 as is ?!? I’m currently running my note 5 since brand new and it’s seen better days! I desperately need something newer. I know it’s locked but id love to play with it. Please let me know!
unsure what the point of this is, 3G is dead in 2022 so none of these phone will ever make a phone call again. I have 2 of the phones you got and they no longer will make calls due to 3g being killed off. ( the Note 8 should still work )
My first smartphone was 2009 I think Samsung moment and it even though smartphones were new at the time it was a dog. Very slow and horrible video. In 2010 I got the HTC Evo 4G with 720 video. It was great and the video still holds up relatively well.

Alpine CDA-7995 FTW
Nexus 5X has issues with flash and CPU failure. I used to have to put them in a bag and put them in the ice maker at work to get them powered up for long enough to get them to power on to recover peoples photos.

4s was one of my favorite phones. perfect pocket size. the 5 was pretty great as well.
Nice finds. Hope you enjoy them. One mention, the Nokia E60 runs Symbian not Windows. :D
That one is the e61.

Palm wins hands down! Pre had a short life because that bastard Leo buried Palm…
I use to work in a recycle place years ago J.R. wish i had of collected some of the old phones and laptops from back then.
I had the HTC EVO 3D when it was new. I pre ordered it from sprint back in the day!
the samsung reclaim was made from corn-based bio-plastic

Loved the Palm Pre! Had two of them I think. The Manny Pacquiao commercials that came out after HP bought them were pretty good too. Great phone.
The 1st HTC phone is the HTC Shadow...I used to sell and own that phone during my 10 year stint working there
9:50 Is this a SPH-N400? Then it may be the phone Saul Goodman uses in Better Call Saul 😍
Do head units because I need a head unit for my alpine system so I want a semi modern whatever one is the all around good power and sound
The pre was Palm before HP ruined it. Palm had conductive charging before it was cool.
A Palm Pre was my first smart phone. It was years ahead of its time.
My 2 fave phones were the Samsung Glide (I sat on that one and broke it) and the Samsung u750 with LCD paper buttons and dual sliders!

unsure what the point of this is, 3G is dead in 2022 so none of these phone will ever make a phone call again. I have 2 of the phones you got and they no longer will make calls due to 3g being killed off. ( the Note 8 should still work )
They used to be more creative. Now phones mostly look the same.
My first smartphone was 2009 I think Samsung moment and it even though smartphones were new at the time it was a dog. Very slow and horrible video. In 2010 I got the HTC Evo 4G with 720 video. It was great and the video still holds up relatively well.
Do you sell phones?
You're gonna make a ton of profit from a $500 investment if you eBay all of those!
Like $20 per phone, that's the plan (but I'll probably keep them for a year or so).
Hey
First!
3rd ( no one cares)
