#5mb of storage on those suckers

Short story:
I worked for Verizon in high school/college and we always got to try out the new phones for a few months.
Personally I had the Alias because who doesn’t like a bisexual phone. And that sweet full keyboard situation… But I was so excited to get the Juke for work. To put this in context for the youngsters, this phone was all about “music.” You could put a whopping 5 songs on this baby before the storage ran out and then you’d have to buy a little micro SD card to put in it for extra storage, mind you the sound on this thing was the equivalent of trying to hear a movie while someone opens all 30 layers of paper on a subway sandwich at the movie theatre. The screen, which was SMALLER than a postage stamp, would show “album art” and while folded it was about the size of a tampon, but then you could flip it open like a switch blade, which would be SUPER cool if the force of switching it open didn’t move with so with such force it broke the phone.
I used to hide the chocolate in the front pocket of my oversized hoodie in class and the whole catch there was the circle toggle button you could just run your finger around. So imagine a bunch of girls in oversized hoodies just circling their fingers around their crotch while learning about like the American Civil War.
#times were wild#also when the iPhone was only on AT&T#5mb of storage on those suckers#the juke is still hilarious to me#I talk about it like it’s my own ‘nam#working for Verizon was truly the worst#other than the phones#those were cool#and by proxy I was cool
