Support NeoGAF

[KrakenIPA]

Back in the day I had a BlackBerry Curve 8520. I remember thinking it was amazing being able to pull up neogaf whenever I got bored or had some downtime. Nowadays there's so many different types of mobile device that can do so many different things, but what was your first?

 

[Jennings]

HTC Wizard on Cingular Wireless before AT&T bought Cingular.

 

[Tranquil]

I don't think I've ever accessed neogaf with my phone.

 

[T8SC]

Probably the Nokia N80.

I am thinking I had a HTC before my blackberry, but I dont think I knew about browser capabilities in that short window. I think I ended up having to check my data and found out that I might be able to browse the web.

I remember searching for the Fallout: New Vegas wiki and reading random faqs to pass the time.

T8SC : I have never owned a Nokia, i heard they were damn good, though.

[Husky]

Aw gee, I think I've only ever accessed via desktop.

 

[AJUMP23]

An Ipad.

 

[Kacho]

An iPhone of some kind. I think a 5s.

 

[DragoonKain]

ipad. I don't like browsing forums on small devices, I think the experience is awful honestly.

 

[Nikana]

Samsung Focus

 

[Alex Anderson]

An early Moto G in 2014.

KitKat all the way, baby.

(I still use it)

 

[TGO]

Are you mad?
I used the PSP.

Oh yeah... how'd I forget ol peez-peez

 

[Northeastmonk]

iPhone 4S. Back when 32-bit apps were a thing.

 

[Drew1440]

Either the LG Renior or Viewty.

 

[Star-Lord]

It would've been the iPhone 4 or 5, I think. It was around that time, anyway.

 

[Chittagong]

I vividly remember browsing GAF at the summer lodge for the first time, and seeing the final Nintendo DS industrial design revealed. Must have been July or August 2004

 

[Tschumi]

....pocophone. or xperia compact

So many apple users muhahaha suckaaaz

 

[Amory]

No idea. Joined circa 2007-2008, my first smartphone was an iphone 3G so maybe that

Same here, I think I had one of those Sony Ericsson Walkman phones.
I'd browse GAF on the PSP and listen to 1up Podcast

 

[Windle Poons]

iPhone or iPad. Sorry.

 

[DKehoe]

I think the same Blackberry as OP said. I don't think I was really browsing the internet on my phone before that.

 

[p_xavier]

iPhone 4S

 

[The Lunch Legend]

 

[Daniel Jackson]

Samsung Galaxy Folder 2.
A touch screen flip phone running Android. It always amazed people when they saw it.

Very good question. I was going to say the PSP but I recall having a free government phone because at the time I had a really poor job and we used to get EBT and back then and probably still now you can get one of those free government smartphone or flip phones and that's what I had.

For the life of me I can't remember it may have been a Motorola but it had a one and a 1.5"~x1.5"~ screen and it would browse in a very funky fashion. Back then a lot of websites probably weren't still optimized for every device and unlike now where we have a little more standards and far more mature mobile support across websites and obviously applications, this place didn't load right at all on that but it was such a convenient thing that I put up with browsing and that limited fashion.

To the same point I remember using either the ESPN app or a web page that was really mobile friendly and I was able to check scores as they happen I recall either having the refresh it or whatever but those were the days.

The true answer as far as being able to competently browse had to be the psp. As much as I love technology and everything else I was really laid to the smartphone and recall not getting one possibly until 2011.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Laptops count as mobile devices, right?

 

[SJRB]

Still quite an amazing piece of tech.

 

[Fbh]

Was surprisingly solid for the price

 

[Pagusas]

iPhone 3G

 

[ShirAhava]

The HTC HD2 linux/windows mobile/android triple boot monster of a device the future of smartphones seemed so bright back then

 

[BadBurger]

Definitely my old G1 iPad. I used that baby as my sole computing device for years. My phone at the time was just a glorified texting and email reading machine.

 

[The Pleasure]

Windows mobile 5 phone. Vxx6700 or something.

 

[Flash Junkins]

Blackberry that had the wheel that would clog up no matter what.

 

[Gonpachiro Kamaboko]

A PSP

 

[Erdrick]

A Motorola Milestone. Screen is absolutely minuscule in comparison to my current phone but I'm sure that's the first mobile device I used to access GAF with back in 2011.

 

[FairyD]

One of those blackberry devices.
