[WHEN PHONES WERE FUN: MAKE YOUR PHONE FUN AGAIN] For four years, this series has been all about devices from days past – some of which pack such potently narcotic nostalgia that people like me would still carry them today if we could. Sadly, we can’t: they no longer connect to the cloud, as 2G and 3G networks go dark, and most can’t even be used on WiFi at home, because the very internet itself doesn't work the way it used to. So what if you could transform a device that does work – your modern Android or iPhone – into something that tickled that vintage itch in a different way? Today on MrMobile, I’m gonna show you how to do just that. [ABOUT WHEN PHONES ARE FUN] This is the 26th in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2013. Episode 26 was produced with review samples from Samsung, Apple, Nothing, and Clicks Technology. Michael Fisher is a co-founder of Clicks.
