[1110.70 --> 1112.46] And I just thought, sold. |
[1112.46 --> 1113.34] Yeah. |
[1113.34 --> 1114.46] That's all I really care about. |
[1114.46 --> 1114.86] Yeah. |
[1114.86 --> 1115.82] The things that I do every day. |
[1115.82 --> 1118.70] When I go to, you know, Hale and Uber, is it going to take forever? |
[1118.70 --> 1120.70] When I want to scroll around, is it going to take forever? |
[1120.70 --> 1122.14] Does the battery last? |
[1122.14 --> 1123.42] You know, things, basic stuff. |
[1123.42 --> 1129.90] With phones these days that can like play relatively decent graphic fidelity games at |
[1129.90 --> 1134.70] relatively decent frame rates, like they can probably open Uber and Google Maps relatively |
[1134.70 --> 1135.70] easily. |
[1135.70 --> 1140.82] I feel like we've progressed so far in the mobile computing technologies and how fast things |
[1140.82 --> 1141.82] are. |
[1141.82 --> 1144.98] Like the early days of smartphones, back when I had my Blackberry Storm and the Droid One |
[1144.98 --> 1150.62] was out and the iPhone 3 and 3G or 3GS, you know, it's like back then it was a big deal. |
[1150.62 --> 1154.74] Like this one scrolls smoother where the Android was choppy and stuff where obviously there was |
[1154.74 --> 1158.06] big variance between the devices, but now everything's so damn close. |
[1158.06 --> 1158.58] Yeah. |
[1158.58 --> 1160.66] It's really hard to differentiate a winner. |
[1160.66 --> 1162.50] It really comes down to the interface. |
[1162.50 --> 1167.82] I think the interface battle is the thing that keeps Android, iPhone, and then I think, |
[1167.82 --> 1169.98] like, I'm surprised Blackberry is even still around. |
[1169.98 --> 1172.58] You're the only other person I've met that had a storm. |
[1172.58 --> 1173.58] That was... |
[1173.58 --> 1174.58] I had a storm because... |
[1174.58 --> 1175.58] How did you feel about the first generation storm? |
[1175.58 --> 1176.58] It was terrible. |
[1176.58 --> 1177.58] Oh, God. |
[1177.58 --> 1178.58] It was terrible. |
[1178.58 --> 1183.18] I never used the, because I think I had a physical keyboard too if I remember correctly. |
[1183.18 --> 1184.90] That one, no, there was no physical. |
[1184.90 --> 1185.90] That was the one that clicked. |
[1185.90 --> 1186.90] That's right. |
[1186.90 --> 1187.90] It had the fake screen. |
[1187.90 --> 1188.90] The whole screen went down. |
[1188.90 --> 1189.90] Yeah, but it only had one button in the middle. |
[1189.90 --> 1190.90] Right. |
[1190.90 --> 1194.22] So as you got further out to the edge, you had a little bit more of a tilt. |
[1194.22 --> 1198.22] I got it because, I mean, I was on Verizon and we didn't have any other options at the |
[1198.22 --> 1199.22] time. |
[1199.22 --> 1200.22] Yeah. |
[1200.22 --> 1202.22] You know, iPhone obviously didn't come to Verizon until the 4S was out and then... |
[1202.22 --> 1203.22] Yeah. |
[1203.22 --> 1204.22] It lagged so badly. |
[1204.22 --> 1205.22] Right. |
[1205.22 --> 1206.22] It took seven minutes to move. |
[1206.22 --> 1209.22] So as soon as the Droid 1, the original Droid came out, I replaced the Blackberry with |
[1209.22 --> 1210.22] that. |
[1210.22 --> 1214.54] And then I carried both iPhone and Samsung at work for quite a while. |
[1214.54 --> 1219.98] So I've got a very unique perspective of at least back in 2013, what it was like to be |
[1219.98 --> 1221.22] a dual wielder, you know? |
[1221.22 --> 1222.22] Yeah. |
[1222.22 --> 1225.22] I never had any experience on the other side of the road back then, but I remember when |
[1225.22 --> 1227.22] like the first Android butter update came out. |
[1227.22 --> 1228.22] Mm-hmm. |
[1228.22 --> 1232.22] That was the biggest deal I had seen in a while because it massively improved the usability. |
[1232.22 --> 1234.22] I think Euclare was like one of the first ones I was on. |
[1234.22 --> 1235.22] Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. |
[1235.22 --> 1236.22] Okay. |
[1236.22 --> 1237.22] You know what phone was massively underrated? |
[1237.22 --> 1240.22] It was the last generation T-Mobile Sidekick. |
[1240.22 --> 1242.22] I heard a lot of people really liked it. |
[1242.22 --> 1243.22] Yeah. |
[1243.22 --> 1247.22] It ran Java, which is like you would think it would be a pile of garbage because Java. |
[1247.22 --> 1249.22] Especially in those days because that was before Android. |
[1249.22 --> 1254.22] But the thing with a phone is that if it does what you want it to do really well, that it's |
[1254.22 --> 1255.22] a really good phone. |
[1255.22 --> 1256.22] It doesn't need to be a status symbol. |
[1256.22 --> 1257.22] Mm-hmm. |
[1257.22 --> 1258.22] The Sidekick was kind of like... |
[1258.22 --> 1262.22] It looked like a toy, but it had a good keyboard and the screen was decent. |
[1262.22 --> 1265.22] But it also had a color LCD that was reflective. |
[1265.22 --> 1269.22] So you're not going to get like photorealistic color, but you could get color. |
[1269.22 --> 1272.22] And so the battery life would last forever, like days. |
[1272.22 --> 1276.22] Because it wasn't actually having a backlight unless it was dark outside. |
[1276.22 --> 1277.22] You mentioned status symbol too. |
[1277.22 --> 1279.22] Here's a straw poll that might be interesting. |
[1279.22 --> 1285.22] How many people choose a phone based on it being an accessory or a status thing? |
[1285.22 --> 1286.22] Yeah. |
[1286.22 --> 1287.22] Right? |
[1287.22 --> 1289.22] Because I think a lot of people choose their phone based on where people are going to think |
[1289.22 --> 1290.22] of my phone. |
[1290.22 --> 1293.22] I think it's kind of sad, but I feel like there's a good percentage of people that care |
[1293.22 --> 1294.22] about that. |
[1294.22 --> 1296.22] How many people are going to admit to that though? |
[1296.22 --> 1297.22] Probably very few. |
[1297.22 --> 1302.22] It's not really much of a problem anymore, but there was a wall there where like the |
[1302.22 --> 1306.22] pricey phones couldn't connect to like corporate email and stuff like that properly. |
[1306.22 --> 1307.22] Right. |
[1307.22 --> 1308.22] And so I was on the receiving end of that. |
[1308.22 --> 1311.22] And it's like, you need to get this phone or this phone if you want it to work properly |
[1311.22 --> 1312.22] with your email system. |
[1312.22 --> 1315.22] And they're like, I'm going to buy this because it looks like I'm wealthy. |
[1315.22 --> 1316.22] And it's just like... |
[1316.22 --> 1318.22] That was one of the reasons why I had the blackberry to begin with because when I was |
[1318.22 --> 1322.22] working in software at the time in our IT department, we had all of our own mail servers |
[1322.22 --> 1323.22] and stuff. |
[1323.22 --> 1325.22] It wasn't through standard pop or any of that stuff. |
[1325.22 --> 1328.22] So it was the phone that could connect to it. |
