Watching this as a polish person and watching him stumble through the ui not understand a word is hilariois

As a polish fellow it was fun to watch you miss the language option in the settings menu (the map icon, język) 🤣

Nokias weren't bad, you just unknowingly bought the lemon in the N Series. I had a 5800 Xpressmusic, a N95 8GB and the N93, and they were leagues above anything else out at the time. The sheer feature list and the camera of the N95 8GB was WAY better than at least the first two iPhones, it was only with the iPhone 4 that it was worth upgrading.

If you for whatever reason want to use the phone the language is in settings then the phone and then the map icon "jezyk", or give it to Tony, he can speak polish

As a Polish person, I thank you for the extra layer of hilarity.

You already have a polish car, now polish phone, you're practically polish now

As a czech who can somewhat understand polish since our languages are vaguely similar, this was hillarious to watch as I had fun guessing along with Wade what button did what XD

I'm gonna guess that you imported it from Poland. To change it to English I think it's: Ustawienia>Telefon>Język and you can change it right there

I love when people are trying to do something on device with polish language, next time i really prefer using translator like in google lens that translates everything instantly with a snap of a finger.

Kocham kiedy ludzi z zagranicy próbują rozszyfrować nasz zawiły język😂

It set out the "mini version of flagship" trend. Nokia tried to make Symbian touchable by upscaling every Symbian UI element. And it was very terrible. 😂 Until Symbian Anna, it looked like it can be touch, but sadly, Symbian couldn't keep up with iOS and Android, it disappeared.

I loved the physical qwrty keyboards. Personally I think they are way better than the touch screen on my iPhone. I had a LG env touch. It was a flip phone and my mom’s old phone but still loved the keyboard. I always wanted a slider.

Damn XD I always wanted one of those XD ALSO. Always a treat to somene struggle with Polish XD HAPPY NEW YEAR from Poland!

Thank you so much, I enjoy watching this with my 9 and 10 years Olds. They laugh so hard.

Mmm, I LOVED my E63. Such a ballin phone. excellent keyboard, stout OS, built like a brick shithouse. Mine looks about as scuffed up as yours, that thing was a proper warhorse. My Aunt worked for a corp that ran exclusively on blackberries, and for quite a few years I ran on whatever the previous generation was. I was pretty friendly with their IT guys, so I could literally pop in to the head office, say something like "Im here to see Steve in IT" and get buzzed in. and Steve would have a whole filing cabinet draw just overflowing with Blackberries that hadn't made it to landfill yet (and I made myself useful, far more mechanical than them so had a knack for fixing printers n stuff, and always showed up with coffee and pastries. do not underestimate the power of a danish). I didnt buy a phone for years. got very used to having a nice keyboard. I miss that. But once I got the E63... I kept that phone for YEARS. Still runs. entirely useless, but she still boots up. I wonder if there is a way to turn it into a bluetooth keyboard or something? a VT100 terminal? seriously, they are great bits of gear. The only other phone I liked more was essentially a 3310, but in a magnesium pop up case. stock, It was a mission brown color, so intensely ugly, but after disassembly and hours of sanding, I got it to a beautiful metal shine, with just a trim of brown. An OK phone (just a 3310), awful keypad, but it looked SO good. and super cool that it was so heavily armoured. actually kept on going for years as a work phone, cos it could live in the toolbox safely, and the primary function of talking to people was all I needed it for. try that with your smartphone, she aint gonna take a 12mm socket to the face and survive. Anyway, on with the show, I just needed to gush for a sec. Thanks for uploading all these aftershows,

Just quietly, I friggin loved this phone. Took it with me to a bunch of festivals, ventured around Europe with it, for its time it recorded pretty good video.

I had an N95, and it was good. Then something running android 2.1, and it was soooo sloooow. Took a while for phones to catch up to having usable hardware for the job To think nokia went from the N95, to that turd, to making the windows phones which were actually surprisingly good. Not that I had one at the time, but I picked up a couple as a joke a year or two back and they're better than I expected for phones from that era.

The biggest thing that makes menus "feel good" on touch screens is the movement being mapped directly to where your finger is and the implementation of inertial scrolling. It's what makes the macbook touchpads feel so good to use is that things are mapped to how your fingers move, rather than being set on timers like this appears to.

Thanks a bunch for all these aftershows, youre the best.

I had one of these! And I loved it! It was my first "smart" phone, and I had it for like 3-4 years until the batt started bulging so much the back panel wouldnt close. Great guy, I might still have it in a box somewhere. Although mine had android from what I remember.

Omfg I just realized you released a ton/ all of your after shows 😃 what did we do to deserve this blessing 💚

I had this phone for quite some time, and honestly I loved it The phone itself felt so premium and the typing was amazing. The vibration motor also just felt right. Symbian was pretty bad though, but it you knew its limitations it was perfectly workable. It was also waaay cheaper than an iPhone, around 20 euros per month cheaper combined with the same voice/text/data plans. We didn't have a lot of Android phones with keyboards here and if you didn't need to keyboard, Both Android and iPhone OS were way more user friendly

Had a hand-me-down N97 (the full size kind) and it worked pretty alright for teenage me. The physical d-pad, keyboard and 1 camera (shoulder) button worked really well for emulating GBA stuff.

I had a Nokia E71 (I guess the successor to your E63) and I LOVED THAT KEYBOARD. I don't think that I'm able to type as fast on a touchscreen as I did on that keyboard. It was awesome.

I loved my 5800. It was the first touchscreen smart(ish) phone. It had resistive screen, so you needed fingernail or the given stylus. I even flashed the C6-00 ROM onto it which really modernized it's look, the default software was nothing like this - on the N97 - . As some other comments say these phones used Symbian S60v5 which was nothing more than a glorified, touch optimized S60v3... Also the processing power was just not there for the animations and everything. I also went for Android after that, but for years the speed of cheapo droid nuggets was nowhere near even these Nokia phones...

I feel your pain - I had the Nokia N95 and LOVED it. The iPhone 3/3GS was doing the rounds, but I traded my N95 for the N96 and HATED it. Could not wait to getting rid of it and getting the iPhone 4.

I love that you have polish version of this phone, because I’m from Poland and it was the first phone with touch screen that I encountered 😅

I had the Nokia E7, and I loved that thing. The keyboard was really nice and the updated symbian os was refreshing.

I think it was about this time I had the HTC s710. A similar idea to the N97. It was a good little phone, even though it crashed if it sniffed a video file.

I had that phone. It would randomly turn off and just not accept any input if it was too cold outside... Great times

Awh hell yeah, slide out keyboards are sick. I used to own the LG neon and Pantech Crossover. Felt like such a badass when I slid that thing open

I loved my E71 - got it when the E72 was just released and got it cheap. Was amazing for the time.

I had an iPhone 3G, then moved on to a Nokia N97... for about a week. Moved right back to the 3G and kept that boy until I upgraded to a 4S some years later.

Seeing this, I just remembered that my wife got an old Desire Z laying around in a drawer. That was very nice back in the days.

I’m surprised he didn’t think of using the translate app on his phone to navigate or find where to change the language

As far as I remember this one was considered as a kind of flagship phone back those days. I have personally owned a 5800 - loved it a lot. It had all I've ever needed back those days.

Happy New years everyone!

Nokia was the innovator with their app store (renamed as "Ovi Store"), the real problem was that 2.5G (WAP 2.0) was the only data networking available at the time and as a result, it was mind-numblingly slow to download apps. Apple was just *incredibly lucky* that 3G came along, just before the first iPhone was released and made using the Apple App Store vastly more enjoyable. It was frustrating to hear you natter about "no internet", when there was literally a World Globe icon labelled "internet" right next to the tip of your finger when you said it. Nokia consumer phones have had internet access right back to at least the candybar shaped 3330 in 2001, which had WAP networking and before that, their professional "Communicator" line had dial-up internet from the mid 1990s.

HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO!!!

My dad worked on the app store type thing a bit before this phone, sort of 2000-2005ish. They did a good job, but there's a major issue regarding the fact that none of them were compatible with each other. Often these nugs would use totally incompatible CPUs or operating systems, making cross compatibility really really annoying. Prior to modern app stores there were network operator libraries, which is what my dad worked directly on, which was a way for users to get apps/wallpapers/ringtones in a platform agnostic way. As you can see, by this point^, a lot of phone companies had abandoned this in favour of their own stores, which were much crappier

Me and a mate had this one and it worked for 4 years I gave it to my grandma and she broke it. I loved this one.

"It's like these are crap or something?!"🤣💀

N95 was a legend and then it just went downhill. When i saw polish box i was immediately hooked and it went terrible as i expected. What i didn't expect is wyprodukowano w Finlandii, and some later models were still made in Europe.

I have one an I loved it. The keyboard was great for chatting as it didn't take up any screen space, watching KZfaq was good, and the tilted screen was great for taking photos at gigs as I could hold it up high and still see the screen. I could also put a decent amount of music on it and listen with wired headphones. Genuinely my favourite phone ever. At the time it was really good but modern phones are just so much better that it looks really bad now.

The N97 mini. Best phone my mom ever loved. Made texting easy for her. Until it broke. Still have it in my drawer.

that long boot up time really reminded me of my nokia back in the day lmao. the worst one was around 10 minutes of waiting

Ahh, the 3mobile network!. Remember a heap of qork colleagues getting on that bus in the early noughties because they had the latest hot phones, turns out phones dont do much without a network. And this was in sydney!

Never thought I'd see the day Dankpods does a video on something Polish! But hey, always love to see it! Even if its on a channel that reviews random audiophile junk!

I love how you ordered it from Poland where I live 😂

AFAIK Nokia seemed to be one of the first to adapt micro-USB, my dad got a 6500 classic by his employer around 2008 and it had micro-USB while many others at the time still used some proprietary connectors. In Germany not only Symbian and their poor build quality (the N95s were okayish, but the N96 real plasticky with that typical piano black) were the nails in their coffin, but they've also shut down their factory in Bochum in early 2008 and that caused a large controversy and protests but they closed it anyway and moved to Cluj in Romania but closed that after just three years, seemingly to just grab some cash subsidies (at least they paid it back after the state of Romania almost forced them).

I had a Motorola Droid 4 with a custom rom on it as my first phone as a teen. I absolutely loved the damn thing. Glorious.

Best in line n95 8g and still use with my iPhone 3 day batteries with Wi-Fi and KZfaq too!😂❤

I had the N97, normal size. Loved the thing myself even though it was pretty sluggish and had some Wifi issues

That ised to be my dream phone! I remmber looking at it from a tech magazine and used to thibk it was soo cool! This video title kinda majes me sad, yet its enterntaining to watch how far did the the tech go 😂

I had the N97, not the mini version and I'm not gonna lie. Everything ran way smoother, and when I say smoother I mean like, not a tonne smoother but like comparable to the iPhone 3G. It had a better camera, 32GB of storage with expandable storage up to 32GB as well and the key feature that I used it for was the built FM transmitter. Before Bluetooth in a car was a thing this feature reigned supreme

at 6:44 when he went "i can'to speako the language" it reminded me of my great grandma who is italian listening to the rest of the family speak english

I had one of these, was a steaming pile, the OS was terrible if I recall. Ended up returning it after a couple of weeks and getting a iPhone 4.

My worst phones were a Blackberry Pearl 8110 and some LG android phone I don't even remember anymore because I returned it to AT&T within a couple of days. The Blackberry was bought in the days before Android really took off and I got it cheap off eBay but it didn't work for me, I honestly have no memory of what the exact problem was, but I returned it and went back to my LG Rumor until I upgraded to my first Android phone, the Motorola Backflip. The forgotten LG phone was nice but the battery literally lasted like half a day, and it was during my time in college when I didn't want to have it die on me and it wasn't convenient to carry around an extra battery pack and leave it in my backpack while it charged.

I had the N97 (not mini) for about a year.. it did kinda what I wanted, but there were so many things wrong with it, and it wasn't any cheaper than an android (which was better). Soon after, an android came out supporting flash, so I jumped across to that phone, even though it didn't have a keypad (nexus one or the HTC desire I think) and I was so much happier with an actual capacitance screen. ... Those were the days! Edit: although I had an LG shine before this, and I would class it as one of my worst. A flash phone, with a scroller. About the only thing that it had going for it was build quality that could almost rival a Nokia 3210/3310 while also being solid enough to double as a murder weapon.

I remember playing Minecraft demo on my desire z as a wee child. Banger memories tbh.

I had (and actually stil have!) The nokia C6-00, the previous version to this one. And goddamn i loved that thing

when his finger kinda went to language in the settings but went past it my heart sank

I had an N86 8gb ran like a champ, loved it!

I visited the US back in '08 and ended up buying an iPhone 3G just a few months after its release from a store that sold it to me with a "turbo-sim" which allowed you to use sim cards from other carriers (was AT&T locked of course), and I used it for a few days when I got back home then sold it for a loss because it was absolutely awful, literally had no features, not even MMS, and was nowhere to be found in my country. I replaced it with a Spider-Man edition N95 and it was fantastic, one of the best Nokia phones I've had, and it came pre-loaded with the movie lmao. I really miss Nokia, I was a huge fanboy of the company growing up and the fact that they came in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and aesthetics was awesome. I really miss having a variety to choose from almost every year, whereas every device now looks like a slab of a touchscreen with some minor modifications to the body. By the way, that N97 mini may have been a dud, but there were so many amazing N series Nokia phones already that were far better than this. The Nokia 6600 gets a shout too, one of the coolest looking devices back then.

I rember my first phone being the 5800 XPress Music around 2009-ish when I was in 6th grade. Used that phone a lot since it has wifi. Since the store was basically a collection of basic apps, I used to look for apps online kinda like with APKs nowadays. Then that got replaced with an X6 around 2012 which had an amazing camera at that time, an 8 megapixel nugget! I was always the designated photographer during school events and such. Lol. And those phones were Korean locked 😂 (dad worked there then) and didn't have service here in the Philippines. Oh those good ol' days!

Loved my XpressMusic 5800 and N73 back then! :)

Full size N97 was one of the best phones I've ever had loved it.

I bought this for my wife when it was released and she actually loved it. Used it for quite a while without any problems

Wade my guy, that's a POLISH NOKIA

I have the proper version of that the HTC Touch Pro 2 / Tilt 2. Telstra at the time was ripping people off for $1399 for that barely flag ship phone. Even though it was running Windows Mobile 6 it was still my favourite phone I have ever owned. The hardware was just amazing and that hinge and keyboard is something we will never get again.

I had one of those well the n97 full fat, it was "good" but it had manufactured faults... It was the turning point of getting crap. "barely worked" correct. I HAD TO CALL MY OMBUDSMAN TOO because my camera was scratched from the flap. And random crashes. The full fat '97 had a 3.5mm speaker bundled with it. It was awesome in an infuriating way! Many a time I threw it across the room in rage when it bricked.

I had one too and it was a nice phone but also had problems with it. The navigation was horrible. Later i got the 5800 Xpress that was a lot better. My second to last one was the Nokia N8, i loved that thing but because you can't change the battery, it got a little thicker and crushed the main board to confetti. The last Nokia i got was the Nokia Lumia 920. It worked like a charm and the only reason i got rid of it was that the apps stopped working on it. Otherwise i would still had it.

I bought this phone as an upgrade to the Nokia e90. I still have both in a drawer.

I had this phone. It was awesome. Unfortunately I lost it after our town was affected by flooding. I still feel sad that it was stolen and I never got to use it again.

I had a Nokia E71, very similar keyboard seemingly. Can confirm, much easier to type than it looks. Easier to type than some touch keyboards, I dare say.

This actually reminds me of the second phone I ever had. it was a purple LG Rumor Touch, and unlike this Nokia that had the same slide out keyboard gimmick, the Rumor Touch was *designed to be a good phone.* It had an SD card reader to store pictures (like the much dumber OG LG Rumor) OR EVEN MUSIC with a BUILT IN MP3 PLAYER. That was the function I used the MOST on it.

I had the standard N97 rather than the mini… that kept forgetting it was a touchscreen. Otherwise I really enjoyed that and the N95

Had a regular N97 when it was brand new, and believe me when the mini version came out i found it MUCH MORE HORRIBLE compared to mine. Pretty sure Nokia nerfed the specs on this one because mine barely ever lagged.

I've owned a couple of Nokias from 2011 to 2020 and I'll list some of em here. The last phone I had was the legendary Nokia 808 Pureview. It was a beast of a phone. It was my go to for all the pics and stuff. I was hailed as the cam guy when I had that phone. Sadly the cam stopped working and that was the end of it I had it for 4 years.....the longest in the Nokia segment. Then there was the Nokia N70........I just used it as my daily driver. Before that tho I even used a Windows based Nokia Lumia 620...... totally admired that phone man. Currently I also have a cheap ass Nokia C01 plus as my daily driver but hey, I'd do anything to get another Nokia 808 Pureview

I only bought Nokias untill they started to use Windows Phone and I decided to buy a Galaxy S2. I really loved that brand, the best I got were the flip phone 6131, the landscape C3-00 and my first Symbian 5300. They were the best

Poland in video always give thumbs up even if Australian shepherd puppy can't read "WRÓĆ" correctly 😂😂😂

I worked at optus repair while these were live and in-store, and I can confirm these are the worst phones anybody has ever owned

Never ever did i have a bad Nokia, loved all of them, specially my C5-03, that was an absolute treasure to me.

I enjoyed understanding everything in this video.

I remember my first smartphone was a Samsung gem. Hands down the worst phone I have ever had in my life, it was a horrendous cheap and slow thing. Been getting iPhones since the 7 came out and I’ll never go back. Current phone is a 14 pro max. Love it.

3 Mobile is a throwback

I've only ever had hand me downs so I'm happy if they work 😂

had what i think was the motorola version of this, also absolute trash. was riding the bus to stay with my grandma over the weekend after school so i packed my phone even though they weren't allowed, just muted it and turned it off. it turned itself back on and blasted the low battery alarm at full volume in my silent history class. alarm song was "gun powder and lead" by miranda lambert. been a decade and a half and i still can't listen to that song without viscerally remembering the shock of horror i experienced that day. even more shockingly, i didn't even get in trouble. after it went off, i turned it off again and shoved it into my locker. apparently the teachers went through my locker and found it and i'm guessing that since i already had been publically embarrassed and i clearly wasn't using it in the middle of class, they just told me not to do it again. usually they took phones away for weeks at a time back then.

The worst phone I have ever owned was an Alcatel Idol One Touch Mini... half a gb of RAM, 2 core CPU which I think was a Mediatek or something, I don't remember, was small, ran Android 4.1 I believe out of the box, and never worked properly, and I actually spent $100 on that E-Waste... and used it for 4 years before buying a Samsung Galaxy S8, and what an upgrade that was even though the S8 was not new, I think was like 2 years old at the time, but when you go from something that took 10 minutes to turn on, and another 10 minutes to respond to anything at all you told it to do after it had turned on, and when it did work, took about 5-10 seconds to register a touch... It is no surprise that out of the 2 I own (one being my mother's old one) only 1 turns on properly, while the other is stuck in a boot loop. I had MP3 players with larger screens, and more responsive, also 5 years older then that POS, that still work today maybe if I had not used them as targets for my guns soon after I stopped using them... Even the old Samsung Gravity 3 and Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini I have work so much better, and are quite a bit older. They are actually still usable, or at least least the Galaxy S4 Mini is as the Gravity 3 is really not easy to navigate and do really anything on, but it still works and is mostly still responsive, where the S4 Mini can still operate decently other then being so out of date it really can't do much online. Makes me really love my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, from going from one of the worst phones ever made, to one of, if not, the best phone ever made, even with the newer S24 series phones because the S24 Ultra is a hot mess of a rushed phone with so many problems both software and hardware side because Samsung really put all their effort into AI instead of actual physical upgrades to the phone that we all wanted... Maybe the S25 Ultra next year they will actually make a phone you could say is an upgrade to the S23 Ultra... Doesn't mean I will get it though, unless it comes with a solid state battery, as we are getting real close to having solid state batteries available on the market, and I can not wait for 2-3 times longer lasting batteries that are all rechargeable, last 100 times longer or more then a standard battery does (battery health that is, like holding a charge and such) and takes a fraction of the time to charge from 0-100%.

My sister had the 5800, my other sister had the N95, i had the E64 They were fantastic phones

Oof. Had a full size N97, and yeah, resistive touch screens are horrid. Especially after using a capacitive touch screen. Went to android after and what a difference it was.

After show on NYD. Thanks mate :D. The language looks like Polish.

N97 was my first "smartphone", loved the physical keyboard and it served me well for the time at least as a GBA emulator until the screen died itself, too bad the OS sucks.

I wish this kind of phone format was standard for modern phones now, would be nice to type and be able to see what you've typed at the same time.

Even I'm not Polish nor can I understand the Polish language and I can tell that's all written in Polish

Ironically, I had a nokia 8.1 around 2019/2020 that did the exact same power off thing. It would just power off a few times a day randomly! Eventually just had to replace it and haven't been back since.

The Nokia n97 full size is my favourite phone. Nothing to do with its performance, the hinge open and close mechanism justified every penny it cost. I had the first iPhone, n96 then n97 before going back to the iPhones. I’ve been missing the n97 so much, I’ve been trying to trace one down and just no luck, they list it as the normal one but send the mini. The mini sucks, doesn’t have anywhere near the premium feel of the full size.

I just discovered the amount of polish viewers that has this guy

My mom used to have a 5800 Xpressmusic I think and I remember it being alright, it was like 14 years ago though so I'm not sure but I used to game on it and stuff.
