Longtime users: What device(s) are you using today?
 

It's been a decade since I was active here. Just curious what all the old folks who were using N800/N810/N900/etc devices back in the day are using now. I know some of you are probably still using your old devices but I have a feeling most of us have moved on to other, newer devices.

Personally I got a N810 in 2008, and a N900 in 2010 (my first smartphone!). Both of which I sold many years ago. Over the years I've gone through many devices mainly iOS and Android. It seems that the smartphone has really replaced the concept of an "internet tablet." Today I have a Samsung Note 10+ and an iPhone 11 Pro Max. While today's devices are leagues better than those from 10 years ago, there are still some key things I really miss today from my old Nokia devices, mainly:

• Headphone jack: after Apple removed it in the iPhone 7, all other manufatures followed suit. I get that wireless headphones have their perks too, but I'm not a fan of having to replace my expensive headphones every couple years due to worn out batteries.
  
• Removable battery: In my opinion this is getting to be less of a big deal than it used to be because fast charging has gotten so fast, but I still don't like that it's so difficult to replace the batteries when they wear out on modern phones. I understand that's the price we pay for having waterproof phones but it's still a bummer.
  
• Physical keyboard: virtual keyboards and predictive input has certainly improved a lot since 2010 but I still miss being able to use the keyboard as a controller for games. Yes it's possible to use real Bluetooth gamepads now but they don't fit in my pocket. :p
  
• Open-philosophy OS: Perhaps the biggest casualty of the modern era of smartphones. Even the formerly fairly open Android seems to be heading more and more down a path of locked-down, proprietariness. There are some attempts at more open OSes such as Librem 5's PureOS but it's hard to see these alternatives becoming mainstream and getting proper third party software support.

Anyway, what about you? What devices are you using today?

New user of N900 for two years. Changed from using iPhone for many years. iPhone 4s through VPN/wifi only for whatsapp mainly and occasionally for taking pictures.

Last year installed Diablo turbo for N810 but not used it yet really. Hoping to use it though in the future. Awesome device with good sound and feeling.

Re: Longtime users: What device(s) are you using today?
 

n900 in 2010 (still have it in the drawer)
n9 imported from finland for £500 as soon as that came out.
when n9 became a bit flakey I bought a Google Nexus 5
then I got a £250 contract deal on a Huewei P8 (in drawer)
then I got a Sony Xperia X (but never got around to putting sailfish on it)
currently using a Sony XA2 Plus 6GB/64GB - with sailfish.

have bought a copy of SFOS for Sony 10Plus even if I never buy a handset.

hope to get the next Sony mid-range for which SFOS is supported. very happy with Sailfish!

Exactly
started in 2013, kept (again and again) alive until April 2018.
And should be necroromanced, prolonged with these posts/thread, @HtheB

:D:D true that.

Re: Longtime users: What device(s) are you using today?

Nokia N70
Nokia N78 (with FM transmitter, it was so cool for me at that time)
Nokia N96
Nokia N9
Nexus 5 with Sailfish, working great and hope it will last for years

2009: Openmoko Freerunner
2010: N900
2012: N9
2015: N9 + N900
2016: N9 + N900 + Nokia 808 Pureview
2018: Droid 4 + N9 + Nokia 808 Pureview + N900

Yes I carry these with me at the same time.
Usually N9+Droid4 in my pocket, 808+N900 in my Bag.

The purposes:
Droid 4: Signal, Android Apps I can't avoid, Browsing
N9: Reading, Music, Movies, Stargazing, Reddit, Mail
808: Taking Pictures and Videos, Audiobooks
N900: nowadays only SSH and VNC to other devices.

I would gladly take a device which fuses some of the functions.
The FxTec Pro 1 has a chance.
