My latest phone is the Google® Pixel 7 Pro.
Phone Timeline
A walk–thru of the phones I’ve owned over the years. It’s interesting to see how the devices themselves have changed over time.
2005 — Motorola® V710
Would you look at that? Another clamshell phone! This was my first phone with a camera, not that you could really get great pictures from it’s 1.2 MP lens. Still this phone brought with it not just the camera but a bigger, full– color outside display, bluetooth and would accept a TransFlash memory card. It was technically capable of web browsing but I don’t think I ever even tried given such a tiny little screen.
