IF YOU HAD TO USE A PHONE FROM THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN WHAT PHONE ARE YOU SWITCHING TO?

Transcript

If you had to use a phone from the year you were born, what phone are you switching to? There were no iPhones in 2005, this is going to be bad. Let's see what we got though. No, it's all Nokias. I know that they were popular back in the day, but I only know them for being indestructible bricks. Ooh, the Sony Ericsson. Why did they give it a human name? What is that? The screen looks good though. Okay, that's kind of fresh. Apparently this one was cool because it had a dedicated Walkman button to listen to your 512 megabytes of music. Oh shoot, wait. We have a winner. The Motorola Razr V3i. I like the design, the screen looks good, yeah. It flips and it has a cover screen. I mean, I'm not thrilled about it, but for prehistoric times it seems pretty good.
