        Did any Razers have internet in the 2000s? The first somewhat usable internet phone I had seen was the Sidekick, maybe a BlackBerry.

          Even Nokia with a 100x100 black-and-white (not grayscale) screen had WAP. Web, not so much.

            Me in 2001 : Holy fuck, having a phone with WAP would be amazing!
            Me in 2026 : I fucking hate phones!

            Sure, but I had a camera phone for more than five years before an internet-connected phone! I do not think 2000s Razers had internet capabilities.

              I had some flip phone in 2002 or 2003 and I vividly remember emailing my brother something like “hey fuckface guess what I sent this from a phone.” And he replied “fuck you phone boy.”

                E-mail yes absolutely. Web access tho, I don’t think that was a thing until around 2010, aside from blackberries and sidekicks.

              This is the late 2000s from memory… maybe 2008?

              I bought a Razor phone in 2005 (or 2006, those two years were a bit of a blur tbh) that did let me go on the internet, but it was very slow and web pages were difficult to navigate.

      It was meant to be delivered over dialup.
