The cutoff is a date
The original iPhone went on sale in the United States in June 2007. This catalog ends there on purpose. Later Androids and iPhones are a different object: glass, accounts, app stores. The years before still have keys, hinges, and carrier menus that fought you.
If you lived in Europe or Asia, your personal “before” may have lasted longer in daily life. That is fine. Put the phones you used in that era. Do not put the one you bought in 2009 because you were late to a touchscreen.
What is in the catalog
About two thousand models from 1994 to 2007, with a shorter list of classics on these pages. Brands include Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, LG, and local names such as Bird, Amoi, and Dopod. A classic here means a phone people search for at night, not a complete museum.
Names are messy. People remember a colour, a carrier logo, a season. Search by year first, then brand. If the exact SKU is missing, pick the closest model from the year you got it. The poster is a memory, not an auction listing.
How to draw the line
Open the map, choose the year you got each phone, add up to twenty. Download a poster. No account. The line stays in this browser unless you keep the share link in the address bar.
