Hello guys! Being a fan of old vintages phones, i wanted to share with you this peak find. Motorola ROKR E1 in MINT condition.

Im currently trying to find him a new home, if anyone is interested, contact me :D

Samsung Galaxy S7 on 6.0.1 and Samsung Gear Fit2 (I have no idea why the Gear says 1049 calories. It was just reset)

Having way to much fun with this & haven't even turned it on yet. THESE are so dope. 🔥👌🏼🖤 Can't wait to see and hear all the old sounds. ALSO hope i can charge it, might be able to sell to collected in nostalgic /retro phones. Any tips, advice or any thoughts? or memes, fuck it. 😂

Found this baby marketed as a SLVR L7 on eBay for £21 managed to get them down to £18. As soon as I saw the pictures I knew it was more than the standard L7.

On closer inspection, it turned out to be an L7e which I didn’t think were available in this country. Runs a similar firmware to the RIZR Z3 and KRZR K1. After having both in my collection this is definitely a great addition.

Also, after a couple of hours googling new programs and a great guide on modmymoto.com (thanks to the waybackmachine) I was able to backup my language pack and create one of my classic fonts

PS for anyone considering motomodding. I highly recommend getting the virtual Xp machine in this thread

Just wanted to share one of the rarest Nokias in my collection,I haven’t even seen anyone else here with a 6590 not to be confused with the European 6510

Thanks 15pmm01 for the awesome WAP gateway

I never had a fully working 3230, only defective one I sold for ~3$, though I wanted to buy another one, since I want to collect every S60v1 & S60v2 Nokia. And then, I stumbled upon THIS. Someone took their 3230, repainted shell parts into this pink color, painted logos, wrote Walkman, and then accurately clear coated it. It's so funny and ridiculous that I couldn't resist the urge to buy it. Kind of reminds me of ridiculous Chinese bootlegs with words "Nokia N95" and "Sony cybershot" written all over them.

I found this one on vinted. Is this real or some AI?

A classic clamshell flip phone. It was released in 1999.

Alive with Youtube / Yt music Working. Store i have (live store & metrostore) , also Unigram working fine here.

Sorry for the awful quality, turns out when you only own old stuff when you need good quality it doesn’t do it! But I’m sure you get the point phone freaks out and restarts. No audio cause I was jamming to some Hole.

I use a UK GiffGaff Sim card (It's a current one, uses o2 network) , supports GSM 11.11 works perfect for iPhone 3gs (what using 2g (sometimes EDGE (2.75g) ) UK give us back 3G (&1G) I beg! )

It has always done it even with an older Sim, sometimes it just works for a bit and other times the phone don't even recognise it. But recently it gets so bad i can't even use the phone!

I'm gonna say it the Sim card (even if the other on did it), I've getting more sent (i got an old old one what probably won't activate but worth a shot)

My main question has anyone seen this or had this. Was it just your Sim card was it the phone or the Carrier. Any help is really really appreciated (I did post a similar post on a old account but the video shows it way way way more clear) You all are so clever and nice :D

Nokia N-GAGE QD in blue transparent cover is one of my most favorited device in the past and use for primary device for call, note and play the games.

See more photos.

If I recall correctly it's some spice mobile from like 2016. what is the exact model?
