    He has the thousand yard stare. It’s like he’s seeing into the future.

    Which wouldn’t be too difficult given that cell phone is from like 1999. How old is this pic?

      that cell phone is from like 1999

      Probably closer to 2008. Blackberries didn’t get color screens until the mid 2000’s, and that looks to me like the Blackberry Bold, which had updates between 2008 to 2013.

        My bad. At first glance that looked like a Nokia something in the 1100 series. Which would be like 2001-2006? I was exaggerating a bit with 1999.

        But if that’s a blackberry then those things must have been fucking tiny to have a full keyboard. Or that guy has massive hands.

          Whatever phone it is, it looks like a color screen and a full keyboard. Zoom in and see that it’s more than the normal 10 keys on a traditional phone dialer.

          That line of blackberries was no wider than a modern smartphone, but the little rounded buttons made it easier to precisely hit the right buttons without looking.
