Comment on Symbian: The forgotten FOSS phone OS
stoy@lemmy.zip 1 day agoThe 5800 was a nice phone, but for me the king of Symbian phones was the E7, I am still pissed mine got stolen ):
Loved the fold out keyboard, it made the phone absolutely amazing, I remember running Putty Touch on my E7, sshing into a friend’s server to access irssi

That was my Goal Phone, yes! Either that, or the N8, but the 5800 was the only thing I could afford at the time:))
They were really nice phones, properly into “smartphones” by that point - the 5800 was more like a… clever phone:))
Oh, nooo!:( I’m so sorry, that’s how I lost my 5800, too! Got mugged at night, ffs…

I used my first paycheck to buy myself an E7, less than a year later it was stolen ):
It was a gorgeous phone but DAMN slippery!

Jeesus, that genuinely sounds painful!:( I’m very sorry I honestly don’t know what to say… I mean, I understand it’s just A Thing™, but some things are more than just “things”…

Hehe, I was really sad when it happened, but it was more than a decade ago (:
I then ran a Nokia 300/Nokia E72 combo doe a while, and then a Nokia E72 for a few years untill I got an iPhone 5S
