What are your oldest and still working smartphones ?

[lvt]

Just wondering if anyone still uses his old smartphone and maybe there is a story behind it?

I use my OG Moto Droid for 'bird radio', does that count? It's just hooked up to wifi and runs Tunein radio all day for my parakeets but I bet the darn thing would still work if activated. It's a tank.

It definitely counts, I've seen many people using theirs old phones for radio or music, as long as those devices can still be charged or used on wall adaptor.

Can I get Android 6 on this? It was very smart in 1987

My Note 3 and HTC M8 still work but I don't use them. My G1 screen broke and I sold my Samsung Galaxy S2.

I, too, still have my OG Droid from 2009. Still running a Froyo ROM. I haven't turned it on in years, but I suppose if I did it would fire up just fine

My husband is still using his note 2, doesn't like change. My htc one max is being used as a security camera with the Alfred app

My Blackberry from 2009 is now my mp3 player. It has been used twice by family members when their phone died and there was a major lag before they could get a new one.

I've got a Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch, but the power button is worn out.

Droid Incredible. Had to factory reset it though.

My Droid Incredible still sits in waiting. After serving me well it became the family loaner for a few years. I think it's officially retired now after many years of service. But, I know it's ready if it's needed.

Mine stays in my briefcase and nobody touches it. I break it out to fire it up and smile at how small it is, compared to today's phones.

It's NOKIA 5800, it's working and would be worked many years.

Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate bought it when it first came out, OEM battery is still working, and phone has about a 40% charge as per the battery manufacturer's recommendations for "cold storage".

It was reactivated a few months ago, when a family member "lost their phone"... how do you do that? totally just loose it?
let them use it for a couple of weeks, then they got a replacement... and it went back to sleep again.

My 2nd oldest is my current S5 which is about 30 months old, it is being used right now as an Emergency Backup to my Note 4 which I killed by leaving it in the sun on a truck dash

hope to have that one running in a short short.... once I get the new battery in the mail.

HTC EVO 4G still turns on but is collecting dust. Can't even remember what ROM it has.

Nokia 3110 Classic which i use as my work phone but if that isnt calculated as a smartphone, then Huawei ideos x5

 

[Unforgiven]

My OG Droid is enjoying its retirement sitting in the dock next to my bed. It's only worry in life now is to wake me every morning, which it has done faithfully since 2010.

M7, use it in the gym as my music player, as I don't want my M9 to fall and break while I working out. Which is what happened to my S3, which was replaced by the M7.
