Phones Of Years Past

What were we thinking?

Phones Of Years Past
News Activist

Remember when technology hadn’t totally found itself yet? Like, those rough, formative years of "trying new things” and “thinking outside the box?”

Here’s a revisit of some of the most notable phones of yesteryear.

1. Tracfone

1. Who the f**k would spell ‘phone' like that?

2. This phone screams “Wal-Mart.”

3. Pay-by-the-minute. Sounds like my first girlfriend, A-YO!!!


2. The LG EnV

Double the screens, double the fun (nudes).


3. Blackberry Curve

For no reason. What kind of emails did I have to deal with? None!

I think I just liked it because it screamed “New York lawyer in pantsuit who has it all.” And that is what 10 year old Myles wanted to be.


4. Palm Treo


I will never get over this phone. Why? Because this was the phone that Danielle Panabaker and Brenda Song stole from Jason Cahill (Taran Killam) in "Stuck in the Suburbs" and it was the coolest.

RIP Jason Cahill’s hair.


*Note Jason Cahill's left hand is holding a Palm Treo.

**Note Danielle Panabaker is holding some janky ass Nokia. Ew Danielle.


5. The Old People Phone (Jitterbug)

Heaven forbid you need to call ANYONE besides an operator (wtf is that even?), a tow service or 911.

Like, do old people ONLY ever get into trouble?


6. Firefly


If you had this phone, your parents either hated you or loved you way too much.

Also, how f**king binary is this phone?! Like have you SEEN "Modern Family" Firefly? Mom or Dad? What about Mom or Mom? I might want to call Mitchell or Cam!


7. T-Mobile Sidekick

T-Mobile: If it were ever cool, it was exclusively because of this phone. Legitimately every celebrity had this phone.

Please enjoy the following: A young Miley and friend showing off their Sidekicks.

The literal coolest.


8. The RAZR

Honestly, the amount of configurations you could have this phone was ungodly. Like there was: blue, pink, silver, black, grey, red, gold, 2K gold, one with a blue light on the front, one with a music player, etc.

Also, does anyone remember the "Hello Moto" theme song? That's the shit that will haunt your dreams.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
