If you for whatever reason want to use the phone the language is in settings then the phone and then the map icon "jezyk", or give it to Tony, he can speak polish
Funny how I could tell it was Polish, despite not knowing a word of it. Polish just has that certain gibberish (to me) look. Random letters everywhere.
Nokias weren't bad, you just unknowingly bought the lemon in the N Series. I had a 5800 Xpressmusic, a N95 8GB and the N93, and they were leagues above anything else out at the time. The sheer feature list and the camera of the N95 8GB was WAY better than at least the first two iPhones, it was only with the iPhone 4 that it was worth upgrading.
@@chimrichalds81 Sony Ericsson did make some amazing phones. I had the K800i for a short time before getting the N95 and the camera was very impressive, the Walkman phones were brilliant too.
As a czech who can somewhat understand polish since our languages are vaguely similar, this was hillarious to watch as I had fun guessing along with Wade what button did what XD
I love when people are trying to do something on device with polish language, next time i really prefer using translator like in google lens that translates everything instantly with a snap of a finger.
It set out the "mini version of flagship" trend. Nokia tried to make Symbian touchable by upscaling every Symbian UI element. And it was very terrible. 😂 Until Symbian Anna, it looked like it can be touch, but sadly, Symbian couldn't keep up with iOS and Android, it disappeared.
Symbian managed to kill off Sony Ericssons business phone line (things like the M600i) in record time as well. Nobody bought the stupid things after it became clear what a laggy, convoluted sjitshow the OS is (which at the time you normally wouldn't know unless you've had a laggy nokia before). And whoops.. suddenly Sony Ericsson started messing around with Windows Mobile at first, and after a mere 2 models switched to very early Android (1.6 Donut I think?) on phones called "xperia". Sound familar? Still around, minus the ericsson part
Nokia’s biggest mistake IMO was not jumping to Android early on. They were in the middle of creating a successor to Symbian called Maemo (later called MeeGo) but killed it off after a last minute switch to Windows Phone.
I loved the physical qwrty keyboards. Personally I think they are way better than the touch screen on my iPhone. I had a LG env touch. It was a flip phone and my mom’s old phone but still loved the keyboard. I always wanted a slider.
Just quietly, I friggin loved this phone. Took it with me to a bunch of festivals, ventured around Europe with it, for its time it recorded pretty good video.
I had an N95, and it was good. Then something running android 2.1, and it was soooo sloooow. Took a while for phones to catch up to having usable hardware for the job To think nokia went from the N95, to that turd, to making the windows phones which were actually surprisingly good. Not that I had one at the time, but I picked up a couple as a joke a year or two back and they're better than I expected for phones from that era.
I still have a windows phone(8.1) as a secondary, it really was iphone level performance at a mid-range price, my 1520 from 2013 even has wireless charging, sadly it never caught on due to microsoft being stupid with their licensing of the thing, and w10m was just crap.
Because Nokia stubbornly stuck to Symbian (when it wasn’t optimized for touch screens at all); while trying to develop their own Linux based successor (known as Maemo/MeeGo) that was honestly DoA after Android came out.
@@Yeen125 Yeah, Microsoft's acquisition really did everything they could to ruin OG Nokia. I got the N9 in blue and _really_ enjoyed using it despite all the quirks. But between being the first phone I was CONSTANTLY terrified of damaging and Nokia dropping their promised updates/support of the device shortly after Microsoft bought them, it became something I couldn't keep. MeeGo had so much promise, but needed a LOT of work that suddenly wasn't going to happen. There was effort to get Android ported over to it, but at the time it was super rough and introduced more problems of reliability/performance. So I begrudgingly sold it. I ended up trying out a black one a few years later, but the problems were even more apparent from various security/protocol changes on the backend that broke from simply staying the same. It's sad how that works for older/unique devices. We loved the external hardware but the internal tech and software got aged out and force us away from using it.
Mmm, I LOVED my E63. Such a ballin phone. excellent keyboard, stout OS, built like a brick shithouse. Mine looks about as scuffed up as yours, that thing was a proper warhorse. My Aunt worked for a corp that ran exclusively on blackberries, and for quite a few years I ran on whatever the previous generation was. I was pretty friendly with their IT guys, so I could literally pop in to the head office, say something like "Im here to see Steve in IT" and get buzzed in. and Steve would have a whole filing cabinet draw just overflowing with Blackberries that hadn't made it to landfill yet (and I made myself useful, far more mechanical than them so had a knack for fixing printers n stuff, and always showed up with coffee and pastries. do not underestimate the power of a danish). I didnt buy a phone for years. got very used to having a nice keyboard. I miss that. But once I got the E63... I kept that phone for YEARS. Still runs. entirely useless, but she still boots up. I wonder if there is a way to turn it into a bluetooth keyboard or something? a VT100 terminal? seriously, they are great bits of gear. The only other phone I liked more was essentially a 3310, but in a magnesium pop up case. stock, It was a mission brown color, so intensely ugly, but after disassembly and hours of sanding, I got it to a beautiful metal shine, with just a trim of brown. An OK phone (just a 3310), awful keypad, but it looked SO good. and super cool that it was so heavily armoured. actually kept on going for years as a work phone, cos it could live in the toolbox safely, and the primary function of talking to people was all I needed it for. try that with your smartphone, she aint gonna take a 12mm socket to the face and survive. Anyway, on with the show, I just needed to gush for a sec. Thanks for uploading all these aftershows,
Had a hand-me-down N97 (the full size kind) and it worked pretty alright for teenage me. The physical d-pad, keyboard and 1 camera (shoulder) button worked really well for emulating GBA stuff.
I was disappointed as soon as I loaded mine up with music. The thing had like 32GB internal memory. I threw like a couple gigs of Music on there and the music player didn't enjoy that in the slightest. Had a loading screen every time you opened it, if I remember right. I was like: great that this thing has a ton of storage, but what use is it, if I can't use it. I liked it at first but moved on to a used iPhone 3G which was a game changer in every way, except the camera.
I had a Nokia E71 (I guess the successor to your E63) and I LOVED THAT KEYBOARD. I don't think that I'm able to type as fast on a touchscreen as I did on that keyboard. It was awesome.
I had one of these! And I loved it! It was my first "smart" phone, and I had it for like 3-4 years until the batt started bulging so much the back panel wouldnt close. Great guy, I might still have it in a box somewhere. Although mine had android from what I remember.
The biggest thing that makes menus "feel good" on touch screens is the movement being mapped directly to where your finger is and the implementation of inertial scrolling. It's what makes the macbook touchpads feel so good to use is that things are mapped to how your fingers move, rather than being set on timers like this appears to.
I had this phone for quite some time, and honestly I loved it The phone itself felt so premium and the typing was amazing. The vibration motor also just felt right. Symbian was pretty bad though, but it you knew its limitations it was perfectly workable. It was also waaay cheaper than an iPhone, around 20 euros per month cheaper combined with the same voice/text/data plans. We didn't have a lot of Android phones with keyboards here and if you didn't need to keyboard, Both Android and iPhone OS were way more user friendly
One thing to point out about Symbian is that, at that time, it could actually do multitasking (sort of), which Android could not yet do. You'd long press the home button and quickly switch between open apps, and the phone would be running them in the background, you could copy-paste stuff inbetween apps and all that, it was super neat. Meanwhile Android would just kill the app as soon as you left it, dunno if you could even quick-switch between them, but I think not iirc.
I feel your pain - I had the Nokia N95 and LOVED it. The iPhone 3/3GS was doing the rounds, but I traded my N95 for the N96 and HATED it. Could not wait to getting rid of it and getting the iPhone 4.
I loved my 5800. It was the first touchscreen smart(ish) phone. It had resistive screen, so you needed fingernail or the given stylus. I even flashed the C6-00 ROM onto it which really modernized it's look, the default software was nothing like this - on the N97 - . As some other comments say these phones used Symbian S60v5 which was nothing more than a glorified, touch optimized S60v3... Also the processing power was just not there for the animations and everything. I also went for Android after that, but for years the speed of cheapo droid nuggets was nowhere near even these Nokia phones...
I think it was about this time I had the HTC s710. A similar idea to the N97. It was a good little phone, even though it crashed if it sniffed a video file.
Never thought I'd see the day Dankpods does a video on something Polish! But hey, always love to see it! Even if its on a channel that reviews random audiophile junk!
W sumie kupił malucha z importu więc to jest kontent który uwielbiam haha I pamiętam jeden odcinek w którym też było coś polskiego, i na głównym kanale ale teraz sobie nie przypomnę który odcinek to był
Nokia was the innovator with their app store (renamed as "Ovi Store"), the real problem was that 2.5G (WAP 2.0) was the only data networking available at the time and as a result, it was mind-numblingly slow to download apps. Apple was just *incredibly lucky* that 3G came along, just before the first iPhone was released and made using the Apple App Store vastly more enjoyable. It was frustrating to hear you natter about "no internet", when there was literally a World Globe icon labelled "internet" right next to the tip of your finger when you said it. Nokia consumer phones have had internet access right back to at least the candybar shaped 3330 in 2001, which had WAP networking and before that, their professional "Communicator" line had dial-up internet from the mid 1990s.
That ised to be my dream phone! I remmber looking at it from a tech magazine and used to thibk it was soo cool! This video title kinda majes me sad, yet its enterntaining to watch how far did the the tech go 😂
I had an iPhone 3G, then moved on to a Nokia N97... for about a week. Moved right back to the 3G and kept that boy until I upgraded to a 4S some years later.
I was very amused that I- speaking absolutely no Polish whatsoever- paused the vid on a page in the manual and said "...I think that's polish?" and then typed it into Google Translate and was pleasantly surprised to be correct.
My dad worked on the app store type thing a bit before this phone, sort of 2000-2005ish. They did a good job, but there's a major issue regarding the fact that none of them were compatible with each other. Often these nugs would use totally incompatible CPUs or operating systems, making cross compatibility really really annoying. Prior to modern app stores there were network operator libraries, which is what my dad worked directly on, which was a way for users to get apps/wallpapers/ringtones in a platform agnostic way. As you can see, by this point^, a lot of phone companies had abandoned this in favour of their own stores, which were much crappier
at 6:44 when he went "i can'to speako the language" it reminded me of my great grandma who is italian listening to the rest of the family speak english
As far as I remember this one was considered as a kind of flagship phone back those days. I have personally owned a 5800 - loved it a lot. It had all I've ever needed back those days.
Ahh, the 3mobile network!. Remember a heap of qork colleagues getting on that bus in the early noughties because they had the latest hot phones, turns out phones dont do much without a network. And this was in sydney!
I have one an I loved it. The keyboard was great for chatting as it didn't take up any screen space, watching RU-vid was good, and the tilted screen was great for taking photos at gigs as I could hold it up high and still see the screen. I could also put a decent amount of music on it and listen with wired headphones. Genuinely my favourite phone ever. At the time it was really good but modern phones are just so much better that it looks really bad now.
N95 was a legend and then it just went downhill. When i saw polish box i was immediately hooked and it went terrible as i expected. What i didn't expect is wyprodukowano w Finlandii, and some later models were still made in Europe.
AFAIK Nokia seemed to be one of the first to adapt micro-USB, my dad got a 6500 classic by his employer around 2008 and it had micro-USB while many others at the time still used some proprietary connectors. In Germany not only Symbian and their poor build quality (the N95s were okayish, but the N96 real plasticky with that typical piano black) were the nails in their coffin, but they've also shut down their factory in Bochum in early 2008 and that caused a large controversy and protests but they closed it anyway and moved to Cluj in Romania but closed that after just three years, seemingly to just grab some cash subsidies (at least they paid it back after the state of Romania almost forced them).
I had the N97 (not mini) for about a year.. it did kinda what I wanted, but there were so many things wrong with it, and it wasn't any cheaper than an android (which was better). Soon after, an android came out supporting flash, so I jumped across to that phone, even though it didn't have a keypad (nexus one or the HTC desire I think) and I was so much happier with an actual capacitance screen. ... Those were the days! Edit: although I had an LG shine before this, and I would class it as one of my worst. A flash phone, with a scroller. About the only thing that it had going for it was build quality that could almost rival a Nokia 3210/3310 while also being solid enough to double as a murder weapon.
I rember my first phone being the 5800 XPress Music around 2009-ish when I was in 6th grade. Used that phone a lot since it has wifi. Since the store was basically a collection of basic apps, I used to look for apps online kinda like with APKs nowadays. Then that got replaced with an X6 around 2012 which had an amazing camera at that time, an 8 megapixel nugget! I was always the designated photographer during school events and such. Lol. And those phones were Korean locked 😂 (dad worked there then) and didn't have service here in the Philippines. Oh those good ol' days!
My worst phones were a Blackberry Pearl 8110 and some LG android phone I don't even remember anymore because I returned it to AT&T within a couple of days. The Blackberry was bought in the days before Android really took off and I got it cheap off eBay but it didn't work for me, I honestly have no memory of what the exact problem was, but I returned it and went back to my LG Rumor until I upgraded to my first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip. The forgotten LG phone was nice but the battery literally lasted like half a day, and it was during my time in college when I didn't want to have it die on me and it wasn't convenient to carry around an extra battery pack and leave it in my backpack while it charged.
I only bought Nokias untill they started to use Windows Phone and I decided to buy a Galaxy S2. I really loved that brand, the best I got were the flip phone 6131, the landscape C3-00 and my first Symbian 5300. They were the best
I had this phone. It was awesome. Unfortunately I lost it after our town was affected by flooding. I still feel sad that it was stolen and I never got to use it again.
I visited the US back in '08 and ended up buying an iPhone 3G just a few months after its release from a store that sold it to me with a "turbo-sim" which allowed you to use sim cards from other carriers (was AT&T locked of course), and I used it for a few days when I got back home then sold it for a loss because it was absolutely awful, literally had no features, not even MMS, and was nowhere to be found in my country. I replaced it with a Spider-Man edition N95 and it was fantastic, one of the best Nokia phones I've had, and it came pre-loaded with the movie lmao. I really miss Nokia, I was a huge fanboy of the company growing up and the fact that they came in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and aesthetics was awesome. I really miss having a variety to choose from almost every year, whereas every device now looks like a slab of a touchscreen with some minor modifications to the body. By the way, that N97 mini may have been a dud, but there were so many amazing N series Nokia phones already that were far better than this. The Nokia 6600 gets a shout too, one of the coolest looking devices back then.
I had one of those well the n97 full fat, it was "good" but it had manufactured faults... It was the turning point of getting crap. "barely worked" correct. I HAD TO CALL MY OMBUDSMAN TOO because my camera was scratched from the flap. And random crashes. The full fat '97 had a 3.5mm speaker bundled with it. It was awesome in an infuriating way! Many a time I threw it across the room in rage when it bricked.
I had the N97, not the mini version and I'm not gonna lie. Everything ran way smoother, and when I say smoother I mean like, not a tonne smoother but like comparable to the iPhone 3G. It had a better camera, 32GB of storage with expandable storage up to 32GB as well and the key feature that I used it for was the built FM transmitter. Before Bluetooth in a car was a thing this feature reigned supreme
I had one too and it was a nice phone but also had problems with it. The navigation was horrible. Later i got the 5800 Xpress that was a lot better. My second to last one was the Nokia N8, i loved that thing but because you can't change the battery, it got a little thicker and crushed the main board to confetti. The last Nokia i got was the Nokia Lumia 920. It worked like a charm and the only reason i got rid of it was that the apps stopped working on it. Otherwise i would still had it.
I have the proper version of that the HTC Touch Pro 2 / Tilt 2. Telstra at the time was ripping people off for $1399 for that barely flag ship phone. Even though it was running Windows Mobile 6 it was still my favourite phone I have ever owned. The hardware was just amazing and that hinge and keyboard is something we will never get again.
oooooooohhhhhhhh i had one of these and i loved it...... it was trash.... but i loved it hahahaha. the flip screen was so cool and to have a full sized long keyboard was so gangster in the day.
My mom used to have a 5800 Xpressmusic I think and I remember it being alright, it was like 14 years ago though so I'm not sure but I used to game on it and stuff.
