This is enough content for few months, thanks wade for making these videos public

I used to have a Nokia N8. They will not do an initial charge off USB, it must use the DC jack on the bottom. After it boots, I think I do remember it being USB charging capable however, albeit slowly. They were actually very nice phones, and the camera was freakin amazing on them. Even recorded video in full stereo. (720p I believe).

Nokia N8 and N9 are still some of my absolute favourite phones. they did what i needed and were built solid

the n8 screen is oled. and it can cast FM waves. i remember my brother listening to his music from his old car's radio (no Bluetooth no aux just fm from the phone. that was sick)

I used to be a Lumia user and I'm still sad Windows Phone died the way it did. The phones were well designed and well made, especially my 830, holy it was sexy. The system was well designed, functioned smooth and looked great, just a shame that there was no software support and microsoft was generally a mess handling it.

The 950XL is amazing. Can even run Desktop Windows 11 if you want. And for deeply discharged devices, keep em plugged into a low power brick, like 1A (those old apple bricks work). Then monitor them for an hour, most of em will spring right back up.

Gosh I love the early Nokia mobile phones. It's just a vibe, doesn't matter if there aren't any features.

Thank you for making all the After Shows Public :D you deserve all the views and engagement they have and will earn!

I worked for a phone company from 2011-2015, and the pack in earbuds from the Lumia 610 were my favourite pack in buds from any phone we ever sold. Wish I could find another pair, for nostalgia if nothing else.

I know this is super old and you probably arent going back through your old videos but a huge selling point for a lot of the "higher end" nokia windows phones was (A) fantastic cameras for the time (B) Oled screens, i had the windows phone with the gianr camera on it and i STILL to this day 2024 use it as a point and shoot camera because the images it puts out are fantastic

had the lumia 920 taking a break from android and loved it, such a shame google was able to kill off windowsphone though by withholding the apps everyone used because it was such a nice experience and I'd love to see how a windowsphone foldable would have worked.

I had one of the first Nokia he looked at, here. Or, something incredibly close to it; it's actually sitting like, twelve feet away, even if I haven't used it in 10 years. It served me well for quite a while.

I had the N8, possibly one of my favourite phones of all time. I really loved that thing, it had a nice camera for the time too

Of all the phones I've had, the Lumia 920 might still be my favourite. No phone since has felt anywhere near as premium. A truly wonderful piece of industrial design.

Hey, I bought a Lumia 620 for my mum in 2014. I even rocked it myself as a backup phone in 2018. Man, that thing was downright decent, and among early '10s budget phones, the camera may as well have been a DSLR. Shame it was let down by app support.

I LOVED my lumia 800. It was indestructible and was so smooth. It was in a lake for 10 minutes and after 30 minutes in the sun, it was good as new

my brother bought an n8 and my mom used it until whatsapp stopped being supported i love the n8, why can't more phones have a data input with charging enabled, a barrel power plug that's just for charging, an HDMI out and of course, an OS that honestly, really good yes, i like symbyan, because it's stable and reminds me of the times that Android wasn't a shitty sandboxed everything experience after Android11 I'd love to play asphalt 6 again on this phone, and also the camera, it's REALLY good, it's a 13 yr old camera, but it's still rlly good

Two of these phones was actually my phones when I was high in school. N8's symbian sadly got super bogged down and slow with time, while my 920 chugged along so we'll until my dad sold it after I moved on to android.

I have a Nokia N9, which became the 800 after Microsoft happened. Feels amazing in the hand and meego was such a cool OS

My favorite meme about Windows will always be the BSOD that says "Windows is face fucking your PC! Please don't turn off the computer, we're having a good time."

I used to know a girl in eighth grade, who was an absolute Windows Phone super fan. She was sure it would be huge and it was her favorite OS, to the point when she got grounded she would have to use an iPhone. That was genuinely a punishment for her and she hated it every time.

happy new years, got a pair of hifiman arya stealth to start off the year. can't wait for more of you and frank

oh man I loved my Nokia 800! the lack of 3rd party apps sucked hard but the phone itself rocked. There's decent odds you might've bought my old one depending on when this video was made, my old man sold a bunch of our old phones a few years ago and my Nokia died the same way, just stopped pulling power one day

I actually had one of these phones for a long time in the past. Despite bad app support, it was actually a nice experience. They were built like absolute bricks.

I had a Lumia 710 when it first came out and was one of my favorite phones ever. The key boards really were next level.

I havent seen anybody talk about this but an extremely clutch thing about this channel is that its very watchable on shitty internet. the bright lighting and tight closeup of anything important makes these an especially easy 480p watch

I had an N8 and that phone was an absolute unit, all metal body, and a really good camera for the time. I miss those times...

Happy New year Dank, thanks for all the videos across last year

I actually love the little door on the charging port, saves dust and other junk getting in there and ruining it

I miss that era of smart phone, perfect size.

That 620 is my first windows phone and I still have it on my drawer. Great phone, it can stand anything you throw at it, physically.

So glad he's releasing these to the public instead of letting them go to waste

This video brings back so many memories, my first "real" smartphone was a Nokia and man when you pulled that bad boy out of the box nothing could have prepared you for the loading time, Rest In Peace windows mobile you will not be missed

The 800 was actually my first phone I ever got as a kid, god I loved it so much, being able to play games like Angry Birds and Bad Piggies and earning xbox achievements on them is literally a core memory for me.

I wish they get more recognition and people start making revival projects just like other retro products

Oh man nostalgia. I remember being so excited for the Lumia 800. First smartphone I had, and it was a real dense chunky guy! Nifty blue color; fantastic keyboard feedback; and the Windows Phone OS worked really well for my phone use habits. Wouldn't mind returning to this style of phone once I'm able to turn my S22 Ultra into a pure portable media/game machine.

As a broke American between gainful employment sources I appreciate you dropping all this premium content xoxo dankpoops happy New year

N95 and n82 were amazing. I remember running quake 1 on those

Woah, blast from the past with some of these phones

HNY Wade!!

Why is this a thing? Why am i enjoying this? Please keep em coming!🎉

Seeing these phones now compared to when i was a kid, brings back so much nostalgia

playing games on my mum's lumia 800 went crazy back in the day

Nokia Lumia 1020 and 920/930 were my dream flagship phones in my teen years.

I had both a Nokia N8 and a lumia 920 and they were both some of the best phones I've ever had. Back in 2010 I had the n8 hooked up to a monitor keyboard and mouse to watch KZfaq

I had an omnia W, an 820, an ative S and and a 930. Big time windows phone fan, I miss those days…

⭐Happy new year! i love your content❤keep up the good work in 2024, I cant wait for another year of Shrek, Scarlette fire, junk tech & franks snooty booper!⭐

My father actually unironically owned a Lumia in wonderful neon orange, it was by microsoft itself if i remember correctly, but the battery went sad, he also had a nokia smartphone from 2009 or 2010, not sure which year, and I found an old sd card that was in there with his music and games, one of those was made in flash and i was able to open its sfw, however it needs an internet connection to work, so the game doesnt work anymore sadly

the N8 was my first smartphone. I freaking loooooved this phone.10 years later tho it copped some batt abuse in storage and i can no longer use it but i dailied it for a few years before my dad shelved it and forgot it

My first cell phone was the Lumia 635, a successor to the 620! I was 11 and it was $60, so a good first phone for parents to pick up. Not a bad phone, lasted 2 years before I upgraded, and even then, the main issue was the battery going downhill. The app support was terrible so I usually had to use my iPad for a lot of things tho.

I had the 620. It was very heavy to hold, WP UI was very good and new at that time, but I soon switched it since WP lacked a lot of essential 3rd apps.

my first smartphone was a nokia lumia 520, absolutely loved the thing, up until it decided to forget where the OS was one night, still miss the dedicated 2 stage camera button

I had a 630 back in the day, aside from the lack of any software they ran great and had a long ass battery life, for the £100 it cost 13 year old me had a great time using it. Plus the audio player app was really good

Love watching 177 new dankpods video in a day

I loved my windows phones. especially windows phone 10 looked great and i miss it dearly. But when i started studying and i couldnt use the uni's internet, i had to get a new phone. Im still very sad :(

damn i miss my lumia it was so good back then ui was smooth and we take dark mode for granted today

i had a lumia for a few years, very solid phone for its time

Oh how I miss Nokia's whole vibes back when they did their own things. Had a few of the HMD Global licensed android phones until my current phone and they served me well at least (but the 2017 Nokia 6 was such a higher quality phone than the 5.4 I had after)

My mom used to have the N8 and it was one of the best Nokias ever! But I also loved my N95

Love you, Wade. Happy 2024

I remember gifting my mother a Lumia 532 back in 2015 (this phone was labeled "Microsoft" instead of "Nokia"). It was an entry level phone (I was broke AF and i still managed to buy it for her). It was her first smartphone and the experience was great at the time. Everything ran smooth (at a time when Budget Android phones were reaaally slow). It had a front camera (albeit not a good one) and I figured the lack of apps wasn't really a problem for my mother, as she just used instant messaging, social networks and browsed the internet. She LOVED the phone and kept it until the battery could barely hold any charge.

That N8 is absolutely a legendary one

I've got the 620 in green. Used it for quite some time and remembered quite liking it (apart from there not being many apps available). Then, the solder joint of the power button broke (a common problem if I remember correctly as it was just directly soldered onto the board with no mechanical support to speak of). Still, I managed to manually resolder it. But not much later it became basically unuseable as I couldn't get on the app store any more and was stuck with the stock apps (only the stuff Wade scrolled through in the video...).

My dad had a Nokia n8, I love it and the design.

i like that the windows mobile thing gives you a persistent emergency call button, a lot more obvious than the iphone or android one

awww to bad, i heard the N8 was suprisingly great and too way ahead of it's time. why won't you turn on goddamnit😭

I must add, I had the Nokia 8 (not the n8) and it was legitimately a fantastic phone. It was the cleanest android you could get at the time and it was awesome. Built like a brick (true to the Nokia legacy) and held charge like a battery warrior.

I used to have a Microsoft Lumia for years and it worked great, also had a good camera quality

You need to wait ages before it starts working. I had an N8, found it yesterday again and waited about 5 minutes before it fired back up. It's fun to use it now.

Thanks for posting. You may be able to jump start the phones by plugging and unplugging the charging cable to trickle charge and then start up. Worked for my old playbook haha

i think i might get the funi funi after show subscription because i love dankpod man and i love his drums and the awesomesauce, frank.

The n8 has its own pin charger. Mum used to have one. The micro-USB doesn't charge the phone.

My old phone was a lumia 521 and I loved that phone. I understand why people didn’t like them, even I wished it was more compatible with certain things, but it was a great phone for a while. And in traditional Nokia fashion, that thing didn’t want to break in the slightest.

I loved the N8, it has a Symbian OS but the camera was great on it. I loved the clock that really tell the time, it was in words ;-) In some older shops you still can change that battery so it could work. The app store is gone so you can't install anything on it anymore, well other than some java apps you already have. The best feature on this phone was the FM transmitter! You could listen to the radio but also send to your in car stereo. It was mono and only had a couple of meters but it worked. You could make phonecalls that way, and anyone next to you could listen in ;-) That HDMI was more like screen mirroring, so your phone on a 32inch LCD screen ;-) I still like that phone.

I loved Nokia lumias, apart from the empty app store, the UI was the best and I miss it dearly

I believe you have to charge the N8 using the old Nokia barrel jack charger, the americana flavoured ones on the box.

Yoooo, he’s alive

I have all of these, and some more windows phones. I don't care what anyone says. Nokia Windows phones were the best phones I've had the pleasure of using. I love my 950, still running without issue. Cracked screen and mobo, i was able to repair both of them in minutes without anything but the part and a screwdriver. Still things in android which are behind Windows Phone. Microsoft is truly the king of killing good things.

Man i loved that clean os. Last one i had was the HTC HD7 with WP7 - and i got it just because i could not get the iPhone 4 anywhere at that time

I remember having a Nokia Lumia 620 when I was in high school, great phone. Windows phones were pretty damn good, the OS was super intuitive though if I remember correctly not the best supported. Honestly sad they didnt make it, they were quality products.

nokia N8 design is so good man

I used to have Lumia 620 - loved it.

as a person who used to own a windows phone, I gotta say, I didn't rly mind it. was fun to try at least.

My Nokia N900 (running a full Linux kernel out of the box with Maemo) was my favorite phone I have ever had.

You wanna know my favorite phone days/phones~ HTC. Back when they were with Beats Audio and even CAME with a pair of Beats brand new. Still all this time later my favorite phone of all time was my HTC Droid DNA if anyone remembers that beast. The HTC One M7, M8 etc came out after and as much as I loved those too, the Droid DNA was just my favorite hands down boy. Music sounded better than any iphone and Galaxy I've ever had since. (Same as you I recently got bored & sick of iphones and switched to the s22U, glad as fuck I did still)

this was a certified hood classic

The N8 was such a great little apparatus, i just wanted to be Android since then.

in 2021 I bought a new in box nokia e7-00. the rubber bumpers had turned to goo which wasn't fun cleaning. but I used it as my daily for the whole year until the 3g towers shut down. it was a nice phone. despite sitting for so long in the box the battery was fine too lol

first dank pod publication of 2023

Got excited from the thumbnail thinking he had gotten the N9... dissapointed to see it was the 800

As an owner of a n8 the power button is on the top not on the side still happy new year🎉🎉🎉🎉

Looks like they all have shutter buttons, which is something I really want on a phone. I find it so much easier to take photos when my thumb isn't obscuring part of the screen. That and a headphone jack.

The lumia 800 was the first Lumia phone. The first with Windows mobile. It was released the year prior as the N9 with Meego. Yes Wondows mobile does look like zune since it’s running the same Metro design language.

I used Lumias exclusively from 2014 to 2020 when I "upgraded" to a Pixel 4a (that was the worst phone I ever used) and now I rock a Sony Xperia 1 Iv to see if it was Android that caused me to hate my Pixel that ran like poo. Turns out, it was entirely the Pixel's fault. I had a Lumia 635 from 2014 to 2016, when I upgraded to a Lumia 650. Its display connector on the motherboard borked sometime in 2019 and I used a hand-me-down Samsung for a few months before getting a second 650. And I stayed on that sinking ship even after the ship had officially sunk in 2020. Still have my 635 and 650 too, just like my old iPods that I used at the time as well (because nobody was developing for Windows Phone, the jerks). Occasionally I dig them out just to keep the batteries from setting my room on fire and it always makes me happy. I miss it to bits but I refuse to let it die because I use a Windows Phone launcher and changed my volume slider to also resemble Windows Phone. In 2024. Microsoft bring it back.

Had a Microsoft Nokia Lumia in school as a replacement for a Motorola smartphone that got a bug smushed on the inside of the screen and honestly the only thing I remember about my Nokia was it had a really nice music app, it just had free decent discover shuffle and I don't think it even had ads?

the second nokia, that you liked. My dad had one. Honestly not a bad phone. One big problem was windows. If it came with android, updates would be being better, syncing with other phones would have being better and the Life of the phone would have being better. He was sold a dead product early on. But in the end, it did what it supposed to do. Make calls and do SMS. with rare camera use. I made him spend a lil more on a Samsung A series phone so he can keep up with people and not worry about compatibility issues.

Watching this on my 2023 Nokia g42 and stock android is providing a great experience

The build quality on the Lumia phones was so nice.

Oh that lumia 800 takes me back, i think i had that one or the 900, poked your leg like nobodies buissnes while in your pocket, awefull shape

"2010 was a long time ago" Why must you hurt me like that?
