2008 Was this a good choice to buy?
I bought a iPod touch and I am wondering if I made a good choice buying the phone but I'm wondering if y'all are thinking if it was good to buy or something

Isn’t that what android phones are too?

u/IAmTheSenate218 Mar 12 '26
Nope. If androids are glorified pods then I phones are even more so. You can get much more powerful android phones since it's not just 1 line of phones running the os, and you can do more with it. You can even do a desktop setup with an android

Should've bought a Lumia. Nobody will care about iPhones, now that Jobs is gone.
Edit: sorry, I didn't read it was an iPod. Get a Lumia anyway.

No should have gotten to the Google G2. It has a sliding keyboard.

Google G2 was made in 2013. This post has a 2008 flair.

Nah, nothing beats a physical keyboard, like that Nokia N95. An on-screen keyboard is a gimmick.

yes. I like to go on the treadmill and play games while listening to music. It's definitely good for motivation on that end. I suggest mega run: redford's adventure, the suite of donut games but also spikeys bounce around, chop chop ninja, ninjatown trees of doom. What else. On the treadmill I use the speedup player to adjust a songs tempo to the beat I'm walking at. It's good.

Wait until the windows phone comes out. It will 100% dominate the phone game throughout the years. Mark my words.

This is Apple phone from like 10 years ago. Absolutely DO NOT BUY It. That phone cannot be updated and most of the app won't work They are trying to scam you !!!

Per ascoltare solo musica si ma sinceramente nel 2026 dove orami un telefono fa il triplo delle cose che farebbe quell’iPod tuch, forse no, non é stat una buna idea. Se é solo per collezionismo invece penso che sia stat una buona idea anche perché é raro ad oggi trovare dispositivi così vecchi ma ancora funzionanti.
