going on and were the technology this week though I have heard your cries people want to know what the best phones of all time were I get him a task to Buffalo I get him on the comments all the time and I don't want to get him anymore so I'm going to answer what my top 10 smartphones or these phones of all time are this week I'm gonna go through numbers 10 through six and the next week on Rhett enters rant so next wednesday you are going to see the top five and that will be 5 through number one so without more my jibba jabba let's get to the countdown so these are the top 10 smartphones add an impact on me and somehow or someway and phones i really thought paved the way for all the phones that we've got right now let's start with number 10 this is the nokia 5130 98 99 ish and it started my love affair with the industry it had removable face plates of course I rocked yellow Lakers cover the crazy thing was though and needed a separate battery in order for to have a vibrate mode which used to be pretty standard back in the day this thing was built like a tank although that vibrating battery only lasted a few hours but it was all I needed to play some snake I love me some snake black and white snake trying to get that little guy and gets longer great game number 9 the motorola dynatac 800 x better known as zack morris phone I never had a chance to use one every time I saw it I just wanted to go time out and see what's later and Kelly er up to I know I totally just dated myself this thing was a huge I mean you could have fit like 30 normal sized smartphones nowadays in there all it did was make phone calls at a huge antenna when you think like old-school phones that is exactly the phone you're gonna think of number 8 company we haven't heard from in quite a while to sanyo SCP 5300 this is the first camera phone in the US and a hit with sprint pcs back in 2002 you think back cameras and phones an hour what you expect you know they shoot 10 a p you can use them as a dedicated camera you know they compete with point and shoots and sometimes they can compete with lower end DSLRs they become so ubiquitous in our phones nowadays you kind of take him for granted but I remember when camera phones first came out it was absolutely incredible i remember seeing it in the store and I just not being able to believe that you could actually have a camera in the phone I've ever tried to think of a way to justify this phone to myself and the way I did it was if I ever get in a car accident it'd be really nice to be able to take pictures of the license plate so back then used to have to keep a disposable camera something in your glove box take you take pictures of favorite accident so that's how I justified it to myself that I needed a camera phone and this guy super low resolution i believe it was point 3 megapixels but it was still a freaking camera on a phone and it was pretty awesome number seven this is an old favorite the palm treo 600 released in 2003 was really the it gadget from 2003-2004 until BlackBerry's overtook them in popularity took three to four days deployed to pick to charge one of these guys and it was at least as far as I'm concerned the first fully successful merger of phone PDA and camera which kind of made it the business tool of choice plus i still love that keyboard poor poor palm it ran palms OS which they used until not that long ago when his first released it was incredible it was a full PDA to use a stylus on it you can make phone calls it had a super bad web browser but slide a web browser it's pretty impressive technology for the day the phone packed it into a pretty nice size as well if you look around then you still might see a few people rocking a palm treo maybe its sequel to 650 but you might still see him out in the wild number six the last phone on this countdown is the blackberry pearl this is the phone i carried the day the iphone came out in 2007 and I loved everything about it fortunately once an iPhone came out I stopped carrying the blackberry pro but I love this guy took a while to get used to that crazy keyboard the other had 22 letters / once he got used to would it was super fast and blackberry even still had email absolutely nailed the browser was okay the music player is okay the fact you could have kind of a full keyboard and be able to text so fast on the phone that was the size of you know most nokia phones at the time was really cool always have a soft spot in my heart for blackberry know really because of the blackberry pearl let me stop the countdown for a minutes
