• I was born in '92. Didn’t get my first phone til I was 14 in 2006. It was a Kyocera Oystr. Then in 2009 I had a Moto RAZR ve20. Most of the kids I knew called it a RAZR 1½. Loved that phone. It had a 3.5mm jack that worked with regular headphones so I put all my music on it and never asked for an iPod. It was sick that it had music controls on the back of the clamshell.

    I didn’t get my first smartphone until 2011, and I had to pay for it myself. It was a US Cellular variant of the Moto Photon 4G called the Electrify. It had this sick CRT animation when you locked the screen. Motorola made some kickass smartphones in the day.

      Honestly if they’d update their freaking phones in a timely and long-term manner I’d say Moto still makes great phones.
