My Samsung i500 SPH as a WSJTech ThrowBack Thing? #TBT

Posted By on October 31, 2024

One of my regular Friday reads is the weekly technology update by Joanna Stern and her Wall Street Journal team called Tech Things. Tech Things logoAt the end of this weekly update, there is usually a “Throwback Thing.” I mentioned to them that my “still favorite” pocketable cellphone was the Samsung i500 SPH and that I posted about it in my blog 17 years ago (Wow, SEVENTEEN years, shocking even to me). The editor asked if I could shorten the blog post and give them permission to use it as a “Throwback Thing” in an upcoming article.

We’ll see what happens (but at least it makes for a good Throwback Thursday #TBT post) … AND this small, sturdy PalmOS flip-phone is still a winner in my book.
