My first one was a Samsung Galaxy S1 that I got in 2013 and it was a great little device that was easy to open up and repair. It had only 512MB of RAM but that was plenty for basic phone needs, web browsing and running some Android apps like AnkiDroid at the time.
I imported (to Sweden) a G1 from Germany in 2008. A bunch of experimentation on that and my next Android phone the HTC Desire Z in 2010 eventually helped me land a job as an Android developer.
15 years later I’m kind of sad about where it’s all headed. Surveillance and user lock in…
It was all so exciting at the time. If only we know where it’d all eventually lead to.
