would you have used Android as it was intended before the iPhone was announced in January 2007?

It was a different world then, you didn't need a cellphone, and telling your employer you had one made you the first one to call for no-shows. The few normalfags who had phones in their teens rarely used them to call anyone but their closest friends and family. For the time an SLR camera would have made a better choice, the world changes fast.

They were awesome, you're just being a contrarian^2 who hates everything unpopular because you want to look really extra special next to all the other contrarians.

I would've used a Blackberry back then. If you mean in the alternate timeline where android phones never became monolithic glass slabs. Sure. I hate modern phones.

I did use it and it was awesome. Every android version after the first few kept getting progressively worse though. By like version 4 (when material design came out) it had already jumped the shark.

my first smart phone was a droid 2 with a keyboard. so probably? but at that point it was already showed that auto complete was too good. ironically its somehow gotten worse since the mid 2010s somehow.

>iTunes Phone
That was not an Apple phone, it was a shitty Motorola with iTunes.
>LG Prada
That was not a smartphone, just a dumbphone with fancy styling.

>saar appel copy prada best premium!!!!!

>Christie says that even in 2004 the idea of Apple's product was clear - to have a touchscreen handset which incorporated music-playing functions. He says that the team "banged their head against the wall" in determining basic behaviour such as the ideal speed for list scrolling and how to get the right feel for the "bounce" when the end of the list was reached.

>Westerman co-founded a company called FingerWorks in 1998 that developed a number of multi-touch input devices. Apple acquired FingerWorks and all of its intellectual property in 2005, Westerman now works at Apple as a Senior Engineer

>During development of the iPhone, Appleโ€™s industrial designers created numerous concepts, including this one dated August 2005โ€”a rectangular shaped phone with evenly rounded corners, a band running around the midpoint of its body, a centered display on the front face, a menu button centered below the screen, and a speaker slot centered above the screen.

The prototype looks nice. I still use a Key2 to this day so yes I'd like a more BlackBerry-like phone.

probably? if the iPhone never released,I wouldn't really have missed iPhone-like interfaces, and I was fine using something like that before it existed
