My first smartphone, the first phone I bought with my own money out of high school. Bought it on 12th September 2010 at 6pm, secondhand. Used it for 3 years ๐Ÿฅฒ At the time I was using a Nokia 6680.

Funny story, the guy who sold me the Motorola Droid ended up buying my Nokia 6680 (right then and there) because he needed something 3G capable to tethering to his laptop for internet access.

The Motorola was $250, my 6680 was $50, so I only have to pay him $200 ๐Ÿ˜‚

Member the cool side charging port that made for a neat alarm clock. I miss those features

I overclocked the hell out of mine. Battery lasted maybe an hour. Totally worth it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Same! I eventually overheated mine and it caused the digitizer to stop working in the middle third of the screen. So disappointing. I traded up to the droid RAZR and many phones since, but I STILL miss the slide out keyboard.

Yeah but you probably had a couple extra batteries on hand

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I did! And a bunch of charging docks everywhere.

Oh man, I loved my OG Droid.

I loved my OG Droid. Would love a modern phone in that same form factor.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I still have mine, and amazingly it still boots up! I loved it so much!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have both i nthe pic still (actually 2 of each). The little stand to make the OG into an alarm clock was tip top

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That stand was awesome and I used the OG Droid as an alarm clock for years after I stopped using it as a phone. I wish they still made horizontal docks for phones like that. It's such a nice way to get some extra use out of the phone.

You can with iphone 12 and up, using a magsafe charging dock, Or just get a stand and put the phone in horizontal while charging.
