Nokia Ngage was one of my first and best phones. Got to play over 80% of the ngage games grin
Followed it with N81. Honestly symbian phones are collector items.
The only Nokia Symbian I had back then was the N73. That was in 2007 or 2008

Good old days of my

Sony W995 and K750i walkman
Nokia N72, N73, N95, E7, E65

For the symbian phones, if you never had one na handset you still dey use. Cos of the hacking with trend security and free unlimited browsing with operamini mods with cheat settings, custom themes and paid apps

One of the high end phones of then was Sendo X

Man I swear I really miss those halcyon days.

I remember when my dad bought his first phone, the time Mobile phones was introduced to Nigerians, my dad bought NOKIA 3310 then and MTN sim card that cost around 20k.

Funny thing is that he's still using the sim card till today.

Nokia E63

Although it's late 2000's though, it was my first phone.

No mobile phone has given me the kind of joy this phone gave me in 2009.

Nothing beats Phones with Symbian OS at that time.
I had this phone back then, it suffered from my hand because of symbian games and cheats.

The 2000s really were nostalgic years. Both for the Gen X and Millenials. This Gen Z guys really missed a lot. Will be sharing a new Throwback next week that will beat this one.
That's the benefit of being a Gen X. You have alot of Old school things to fall back on than our so called Gen Z who think they're the coolest.
