Would it be possible to review the Melomania 1+ or the Melomania Touch?

I had the LG equivalent to this.

The worst phone I've ever had was the Moto G4 Plus. I know Moto fanboys jizz their pants over the G series, but the G4 was absolute dogshit. Unless ofc you love ghost touch, in which case the G4 was awesome. I miss old-timey Motorola. 😢

Pretty sure the language is Polish. My biggest F to Dank for having to navigate that.

Hate Symbian all you want, I'd still rather use a crappy Symbian device than a crappy Android device. (Also, this might be my rose tinted memories, but Opera Mini for Symbian was a fairly competent browser back in the day).

Anonymous

I have this phone, and I speak that language enough to change it! :D

Anonymous

Am I the only one that liked Symbian ? Like there were so many games that worked on it also just accepted side loading from sd cards if it had a reader. Symbian gets more hate than in deserves. Like yes it was clunky yes it didn't have great security. Yes the Internet on it was worse than dial up but it worked and had a lot of app support for it plus you could use Nokia apps on old Samsung phones because the kernels were so similar. I never want to see it again but it was really good for the time.

LG had some really bad phones back in the day you'll have to be more specific 😂

I used to work at Gameloft back in the day... I remember every time they brought us prototypes of these new phones, mostly phones that weren't even announced yet, and how all of them were supposed to be "iphone killers" lol... Not even close. Every single one of these phones, be it from nokia, motorola, sony ericsson, danger, etc running whatever, symbian, windows mobile 6, danger os, all of them were complete unusable crap. touching the iphone screen for the first time was like a revelation. Palm was alright though. The Treo 650 was my bae.

I also had a iPhone 4 as my first iPhone. Before that was just some random trackfone from Walmart.

Old Windows Phone user here. I really really miss my Windows phone. It was so snappy and easy to use. The main reason it failed was the lack of apps, and developers didn’t want to make apps, because nobody got a phone, without apps. Just a vicious cycle.

Symbian is one of my favourite OSs if I'm honest it was like ductape for phones. Can't be bothered to make your own thing? Symbian. It'll work. Work well and basically never need updating. It had so many dumb fun features if you knew what you were doing. Also had great support for java card applets

You better not say bad stuff about those Windows phones. I loved my Lumias!

In fairness to Nokia at that time, they didn’t have a luxury that Apple did. Network involvement. I had many a Nokia, running Symbian. If they were from a network, they’d have their own bloatware preinstalled. Some networks worse than others. Here in the UK, Orange at the time and 3 were the worst offenders. Vodafone too. If you had a phone direct from Nokia, beside the same model from Orange for example, you’d think they had totally different operating systems, such were the demands of the networks. If you look at the label inside the battery compartment, you’ll find the product code. That’s what makes the difference! Or made anyway! I got an N95 from Orange back in the day. First thing I done was change the product code with a program that I don’t remember the name of anymore. I changed it to give it the full generic Nokia experience. Ran like clockwork. N86 I got after that on O2, I didn’t change the product code. Was a total piece of junk. A friend of mine got the full fat N97 after it came out. He got it on Vodafone. It was barely useable, and he wouldn’t let me sort it for him. He returned it.

Ah sliding keyboards. Reminds me of my good ol Palm Pre. RIP Palm. It had a rough start but Palm finally ironed out the hardware issues for the most post towards the end of the run. I happened to get a replacement with the better hinge right before upgrading my phone so I still have a near mint Palm Pre in my "gadget drawer". I get it out sometimes to mess with and get a shot of nostalgia.

my brother absolutely hated his windows nokia phone

I had a Nokia Windows Phone and they were actually very good. At the time Microsoft was desperate to push them and it was always offering huge discounts. And the OS, was good, apart from not having almost any app (not even Uber had an app for Windows Phone). But the battery was really really good and did not come with a ridiculous amount of trash apps pre installed as Android at the time. I would have gladly bought another one if Windows Phone was not discontinued.

Oh wow. Nokia with symbian was my first "smartphone" and it wasn't so bad after old Siemens. And, if I'm not wrong, I still have working lumia with windows mobile lying around, lol. It was good while it lasted.

Same! I still boot up my Focus S from time to time to play some of the Windows Phone exclusive games. One thing that definitely didn't help Microsoft is that WP7 was a mish-mash of tech that just happened to work. Silverlight and XDA (app and game development frameworks, respectively) were on their way out the door as Microsoft integrated them deep into WP7. On top of alienating users by announcing that WP8 was going to drop support for *all* WP7 handsets, they also alienated developers by completely switching to new frameworks and only supporting Silverlight and XDA as WP7 compatibility APIs. It might not have been so bad if all of this didn't happen within 1-2 years of them alienating Windows Mobile 6 users in exactly the same way.

The reason it held a charge was because no one used it long enough for the battery to degrade 🤣

I think the west phone I ever used was that one LG phone with att. The one with the separate little screen. I forgot what it was called but I suffered through with that pos until I switched to an iPhone. Been with iPhone ever since.

If you like Sliding Phones, have you heard about the Astro Slide Transformer? I like the concept of it as a kinda normal candybar form factor whith a slide out keyboard but sadly they are still not yet available. I want one. :D

Oh man there was something with these phones and the tendency to suddenly switch off. My mate got one and wanted to show off - he pulled it out of his pocket, slid the screen away to show the keyboard and at the same time the phone went black and had to be rebooted. Needless to say I wasn’t blown away

I had a Nokia N82. That phone was such a massive letdown, not too dissimilar to Wade’s experience with his N97. I think that was the Nokia MO at the time. Just keep jamming as many new features as possible, but don’t upgrade the processor or further develop the OS, and they just kept getting clunkier and clunkier. And it’s the same story with me - my next phone was the iPhone 3G, and it’s been iPhones ever since. Except for that one year I went to the dark side and owned a Samsung Galaxy Note II.

My dad owned one of these for a long time &amp; loved it for whatever reason The worst phone I ever owned was a 3 exclusive called the INQ. I had owned a whole bunch of Sony Ericsson Bar phones that was I used to customising the themes you can put on it. I was so disappointed to find that the INQ had none of those features. Because it had 3 reception, it had garbage reception everywhere &amp; the phone was so slow and cumbersome I went back to Sony Ericssons. RIP 3 in Australia

Aw man I loved my N97 mini :c Yeah it was slow as shit but it never had any reboot issues with me, and if I'm remembering my Symbian lore correctly it was using a version of Symbian originally meant to work with dumb phones and the E series that kinda just got forced into working on a smartphone. Whatever it was I remember Symbian Anna and Belle being HUGE upgrades that it never got because it was too slow lmao.

That OS takes me back to my old Nokia C6. The keyboard was solid, but god that OS was slow as heck and absolute garbage. The charging port was also this weird pin and the cord broke twice on me because it was so frail, once cause my mom vacuumed it up by accident... She wasn't happy when she had to pay $40 for a new one.

I had the N97! I don’t think it was the “mini” version though. Had it for like 4 years or something, then got an iPhone 6S Plus at the end of 2015. The nokia was horrible. I’d lose calls because it would freeze on me when I was trying to answer them, and the only way to reboot the phone in my case was to open it and take out the battery. It sucked so much I used to leave it in my room and wander around the house without it, unlike what I do with the iPhone which is basically an extension of my arm nowadays. Man this video takes me back!

I had the Nokia 5233. Very similar to that one, but touchscreen only. Symbian at that point was really showing it's age and trying to hack touchscreen support really hurt the user experience. It was a losing battle against iPhone, as the software, and specially, the hardware was on it's own league and was not really challenged until Android 2 became ubiquitous. It was just impossible with the price point they were used to operate at. The phone wasn't great and like you mentioned, it would turn off on it's own at random. Super unreliable. Between Android phones, I did use a Nokia Windows phone which I really liked, but as you all said, app support killed it. Very sad :( The one Nokie I always wanted to try was the N9 with MeeGo. Hardware and OS presentation looked dope and seemed to run fairly well, but that enterprise got killed when Microsoft stepped in.

The meme is usually about the Nokia 3310 specifically. Thing was absolutely a tank, but back then quite a lot of phones were bulky with small indented screens so throwing it around would usually at worst release the battery and battery door, and not really have a chance to ruin it for good like with modern glass sandwiches. Since you called them "smartphones" I assume you mean modern touch screen phones, and those almost uniformly are much less durable outside of a few niche models.

Anonymous

Around the same time you had this thing (about a year before to be exact, 2009), I had an LG Xenon. Which was a similar but much nicer little nugget. The web browser could be a little clunky, but worked well enough for like, twitter and stuff. It was alright, for a couple years. Then in 2011, I too upgraded to an iPhone 4, and have iPhones since then (though mostly just because I take my mom's old phone when she upgrades...)

Nokia is now under the HMD group. They were the best in terms of software support with Android One. I had the Nokia 7.1 and it was an alright experience. Would recco to those not looking to drop 1k for a Samsung Software Paradigm.

I had a Nokia Lumia 520 that, pretty much out of the box, did the same thing. Years later, I found that the battery was actually shifting around a little bit - this meant that it was losing contact for like a microsecond when it did, which was enough to crash the phone. After seeing this ones battery just fall out like that, I would say that it's quite possible your issue with this was the same.

Anonymous

This reminds me of a Samsung phone that I had and was EXACTLY the same design. Well needless to say it sucked so bad I didn't have it for very long. It was good at first but quickly ended up going to crap. The refresh rate was just as bad as mine lol.

Oh man the n97 was a "fun" time. I saved up to get a full n97 not the mini. Outside of the warranty and them replacing the hole phone once it seemed that all the storage of the phone was on one chip. Phone OS, User space AND ram. So if you took to many pics and turn the phone off it could no longer boot because there was no free ram cos you filled the E drive... Good times... With that keyboard though it did make one hell of a gameboy emulator. Wanted to like the phone soo much but the OS killed it.. Also looks like your n97 is in Polish so if you wanted to google translate it you could.... or buy more cheap ones that are in English of ebay lol...

Unbelievable crap. Menu in polish hits me even harder(I'm a Pole).

I guess since you already own a "Maluch" (which means Toddler btw.) Polski Fiat 126P (P stands for Power or Pro or Performance, not Polski by any means) you probably by now should be drinking wódka, eating kiełbasa and pierogi every day and speak (or at least understand) polish - so get yourself a few shots of Żubrówka and then both the manual as well as the Fiat will make full sense.

You are absolutely right - it was phones like this that ultimately led to the demise of Nokia. I owned a N95 8GB back then, and imho, that was the last good Nokia phone. They got so much worse after that, and them frantically holding on to Symbian while they tried implementing all those new features that just didn't work with it (like, you know, a friggin' TOUCHSCREEN!) was absolutely hilarious. As a Nokia phone collector, I try to avoid this era of "last breath" phones, and instead focus on their heyday.

I loved the phones with that kind of slider mechanism. In 2008 I used my saved up money for an Xperia X1. Windows mobile 6.1; loved it back then. Was browsing the internet on the school wifi back then if I remember correctly. Being all hip with the youtubes on the phone back then. Also had a dualboot for android 2.3 at a certain point though. It just had way more apps. But it was built like a brick and had a pretty pleasant keyboard to type blind on.

I had an HTC something or other that had Windows Phone 7 on it that hinged like this. Best non-iPhone/Pixel phone I ever had. Eventually upgraded to the Nokia 920 Win Phone 8. That was also a solid phone. Too bad about that OS. The 920 once fell out of my pocket on a roller coaster. Had an employee run out and grab it for me and it was totally fine.

First the Fiat, now a phone flown all the way from poland? Mate, you're one onion away from shaking hands with our president!

If that's the worst phone you owned, you clearly never had a Windows Mobile phone (Windows CE based - before Windows Phone Series 7).

As a owner of a new Nokia (9 pureview) I can say that they're back to making pretty good phones

As someone who owned this phone in Sixth Form (17-18), where your main phone use is texting girls you like and trying to browse internet porn, I can confirm that it was hot trash. Just seeing you touch the resistive screen made me feel it all over again.

Nothing speaks of nostalgia like the days of trying to browse internet porn on devices that were frustratingly slow. I remember trying to browse porn on some weird devices as a teen and they were all tortuously slow.

"why did Nokia disappear, it was phones like this one" actually, no, it was Windows Phone.

The 6.2 was such a disaster for me that it pushed me over to iOS, something that a few years ago I would have never considered. Terrible delays in updates (I believe the phone is still on Android 10, when Android 11 released almost a YEAR ago), and when I got my iPhone SE in early June it was still on the March security patch. Couple that with numerous software issues, and the plastic case of the phone cracking around the USB-C port (that iPhones STILL DO NOT HAVE, APPLE!) and the headphone jack (that I never used) despite never dropping/abusing the phone, the fact that even the highest end Android phones get 3 years of support max before they stop getting security updates (and many manufacturers don't appear to offer any sort of official battery replacement services in the US, implying that they don't want their phones to last more than a couple years anyway), and the fact that the phone has Android One branding (which to me, is an endorsement from Google saying that this is what Android is supposed to be like), and it's no wonder that I was turned away. Also, the poor physical design of the phone, with the camera notch positioned in such a way that you only got to see 2-3 notification icons at once before they'd overflow. It would be better if the clock wasn't on the left side of the screen, and was on the right like older versions of Android, but Google decided that people don't want to customize their phones, and took out a lot of the status bar customization that was in older versions a few years ago, so I couldn't move the clock or disable it.

I had a phone from my childhood, it was a tracfone. The thing had a really challenging castle defense game on it from the factory. I remember spending so many hours on that game. It didn't even have wi-fi if I remember right, only 2g/3g? Because it was tracfone, it ran out of data in like a couple of days if you didn't manage your data. If I ever get the chance, I need to buy one of those phones. I don't remember the name.

You definitely need to track down an old HipTop phone. Those were a vibe.

Its kinda funny to see language i understand completely and someone having no clue what anything says. No offense or anything i understand it its just kinda funny

Watching this and in retrospect, it's easy to say why people always default to Apple products. Is not about the tech or the available new features per se, it's because whatever features they're going to implement, for the most part, they make sure that the way users will interact with it is as painless, fluid and intuitive as possible, even if that means sometimes implementing features after competitors do (is the reason Apple is not coming out with foldable screens).

The last nokia I had was the N95 and after the n95 "something" it was black and cool af. First phone with integrated GPS and it had it's own media controls. I knew a guy working at Nokia so my entire childhood I got the newest shit.

I also had this phone and it was an absolute fucking disgrace. Slow, resistive touch screen.. dust magnet as well.

Hey, man first time I do Patreon on someone, but hey, I love your content! I had the Nokia E63... I loved that phone. So convenient. No distraction. When phones were phones!

I used Google Translate to translate the settings. The language it was set to was Polish, and in the Phone menu under the settings, the option with the image of earth is the language menu.

i used a N97 mini for a little over a year. I was a broke student and my employer at the time (Best Buy) sold me one for dirt cheap as it was clearance. I got it because I too had a high opinion of Nokia’s quality. Easily one of the worst phones I ever used. From day one it started falling apart. The lock/unlock switch fell off, the screen assembly started lifting and the battery cover would fall off all the time. I loved the keyboard, but that was it. after I graduated and had a better job, I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S3 because it was the phone at the time with the best DAC and I loved it so much.

I was not expecting that you're find a phone from Poland. It's like we're getting the most crappy things and we're actually buying it. Ane we're keeping all this stuff hide somewhere. I'm suprised that someone sell this. I have a lot of phones in my house, ranging from Nokia 3310, Sony Ericsson K790 to past smartphones like Xperia Z compact and even some freaks like LG KP500, a java based touch phone with stylus. Weird history of phones, I know xD

The same exact thing happens with the nexus one, it will randomly turn off, and get stuck on the boot screen.

I used an E51 up to that point for like 6 years. I knew it like the back of my hand. Imagine my excitement when I got my hand on a N71. I went and had a bit of a hissy fit at the gal who sold it to me saying it's a bootleg. It was so unreliable, it would just turn off after minutes of use.

This brings back memories of my N958Gb and my mates N96 with touch. They where awesome for the time. Dude you talk iPhone this I phone that. But I still want a phone that slides and gives me direct music player controls. It was so convenient. Also dude Sambia rocked compared to iOS at the time. Maybe you don't realise you couldn't change your damn background on iPhone without jailbreaking them till the 4 (and an OS upgrade). Sad for you it bugged out on you, but mate don't fanboy to hard over the iPhone at the time. They where hot trash too. Remember the whole reception fiasco.

Htc tilt 2. My last, non-android/ios "smart phone". Looked so similar, and was even called the "tilt" because of how the keyboard slid out. I HATED it.

Oh no, why did you have to remind me of the Nokias that ran WIndows Phone? I once worked at a company where they had those as company phones and they were just such hot garbage to support as one of the IT guys &gt;_&gt;

Most of the world's supply of old Nokias comes from Poland and India, it's just how the world works.

I had the N97 (the bigger one), they got completely ignored as soon as they were released, all the spare parts I could find were for the mini, all the accessories were for the mini, it sucked. The N97 mini absolutely sucked in comparison to the N97, the full sized one still ran Symbian OS but it was so much more responsive, and the hinge didnt suck as bad.

Been learning polish for well over 2 years and only about 50% of it at best made sense to me. I could figure out how to change the language but that's about it. Not that I'd want to, N97s were awful.

Ah man, reminds me of my Blackberry Priv. It had so much potential -- Android 6.0, beautiful design, full 16:9 OLED touchscreen, slides to reveal a full physical keyboard, and the keyboard was even capacitive-touch so you could dance your fingers across the keys to scroll! But they gave it a garbage Snapdragon 808 and mandatory encryption with no ability to root, so it was painfully slow even if you ADB deleted everything you could. Everything about the phone was perfect except it was too slow to actually use. I tried running Android Auto on it and missed several turns because it took too long processing the audio cues. I really miss the way it'd show a progress bar along the edge of the screen while charging

2009-10 was such a turning point for mobile phones, the worst time to get one, with the iPhone still feeling out of your reach and Android barely getting there… I ended up getting the 5800 which was basically this but without the slider keyboard and man, what a mess! Shoehorning good ol’ Symbian into a touch device was a mistake. Still rocked it for TWO WHOLE YEARS mostly out of stubbornness (and maybe smashed it against the floor once, taking advantage that my operator would replace anything that wasn’t an iPhone for dirt cheap back then) and then modded the heck out of the software while at it, not that it was gonna get any more usable anyway. Oh, fun fact, it came with a stylus and… a plectrum, yes, a guitar pick-shaped thingy on a wrist strap!

My first iPhone was also because I had a crappy phone, Sprint had sold me a BlackBerry Tour and it was outdated even when I got it. Suffered for 21 months and said look, I want an upgrade and there's 3 months left. Can we work something out? They said nope. I said see you. They said "nonono, how about a free iPhone 4?" - I said how about a 4S. They said $50. I said sure.

I thought you'd absorb some Polish knowledge through skin just touching your Maluch, At list on the level of telling it apart from other languages.

My wife had this phone, it was blue. Survived flying off her car roof at highway speeds with barely a scratch. Was a piece of crap otherwise.
