1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,879
okay so this is really cool i'm on ebay the other day and you know the whole

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:11,759
theory that goes yeah you can sell or buy pretty much anything on ebay

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:15,360
i figured okay i'm gonna put this to the test

4
00:00:13,599 --> 00:00:18,560
can i find my first

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,359
cell phone and the answer

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,720
is yes so this

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,400
is the motorola v100e

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:38,800
or as it was called over here in north america the v box it was my first cell

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,079
phone and apparently this thing works

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:46,559
so i am going to open it up and show you guys

11
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:48,399
just how stone age i am

12
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:52,320
after i tell you about freshbooks freshbooks is the easy to use accounting

15
00:01:07,119 --> 00:01:12,560
so i think one of the most fun things about this video is going to be to

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:17,920
compare and contrast my current daily driver here in 2018

17
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,040
with the very first cell phone that i

18
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,400
ever owned uh and i got this thing back

19
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:29,040
in well i mean i could probably just look at the okay packed in the eu

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,479
blah blah blah does it have a does it

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,759
have any kind of date information on it so hold on a

22
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:39,520
second so i was i was 16 i had just gotten my full

23
00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:41,200
license the deal was that i got a car

24
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:45,360
and a cell phone it's a pretty sweet deal

25
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:50,479
as long as i was willing to drive my four siblings to and from wherever they

26
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,640
needed to go and as long as i was at my

27
00:01:50,479 --> 00:01:56,640
parents beck and call at any time so this was like effectively i was the

28
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,960
family driver and this was like my pager so that would have been

29
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:05,840
about 2003 i want to say probably around

30
00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:09,200
around around 2003 so that was 15 years

31
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,720
ago holy crap am i ever getting old

32
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,239
so let's talk a little bit about this thing it has a special keypad console which

33
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:22,400
makes text messaging to your friends easier use to access a range of information

34
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,720
via your phone including cinema listings entertainment and sport

35
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,599
cool that worked out great wide screen

36
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,400
visual display excellent from when you are playing you're playing from a choice

37
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:41,519
of three games so my mom my stepdad and i all got the

38
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,800
same phones and it was important for us because my mom is hard of hearing so

39
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,720
talking with her on the phone isn't really an option so this was all of a

40
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,920
sudden a reason for us to have phones and a way for us to stay in touch so i

41
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,640
got this super cheap plan that had like

42
00:02:53,920 --> 00:03:00,080
a hundred minutes like and no no like unlimited weekends or evenings or

43
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,000
anything like that and then it was mostly i just had like 250 text messages

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,120
and so we could we could text back and forth so here i want to show you guys

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:13,760
what's in here so um this is just from an ebay seller so i

46
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:16,319
actually am not a hundred percent oh

47
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:20,800
oh okay hold on no no it's okay so sorry uh i was thinking oh no it doesn't come

48
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:24,000
with the north american adapter but actually they just used the north

49
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:28,560
american version to adapt to the uk one so we just we

50
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,040
just dodged a huge bullet here because like i could have probably found a

51
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,799
substitute for this or like

52
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,680
freaking i don't know it's for 4.4 volts

53
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:44,959
1 amp what the hell is that do you guys like do you guys remember non-standard

54
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:50,959
mobile device chargers what a nightmare that was like it's it's so easy to take

55
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,920
for granted stuff that we just don't have to deal with anymore all right so

56
00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:59,040
hopefully we're good then what else we got

57
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,040
um battery storage case for your protection

58
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,400
store battery in this case when not in use uh well someone clearly didn't read the

59
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:14,640
label i wonder if it even comes with a battery i mean this battery is long dead

60
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,239
like years ago this battery was dead

61
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:22,919
okay you know what i'm gonna get to this later it was the worst thing about this

62
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,919
phone by far this

63
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,800
okay i was actually kind of worried that uh

64
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:40,160
this wasn't gonna be the right thing but no this

65
00:04:36,479 --> 00:04:42,720
this is it you know i'm actually so sad

66
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:46,080
that clear plastic casings died off like

67
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,560
does that not actually look kind of cool oh yeah like if you could buy a modern

68
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,440
cell phone that had a backing like that so you could see the battery and stuff

69
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,639
would that not be cool um so yeah you can see actually you can

70
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,199
see the pcb for the display here uh mine had a different logo mine had like a

71
00:05:02,479 --> 00:05:08,240
motorola logo um i didn't have a rogers logo i don't know i think i'm pretty

72
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,720
sure it just had a standard motorola logo in terms of i o

73
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,880
there's an ok button here that i that you could use to answer calls

74
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,360
i don't remember what this special button over here did uh this right here

75
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,919
is the charging port nothing on the back just the hinge here and then

76
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:31,600
what glory be it's got a headphone jack so as cool as

77
00:05:28,639 --> 00:05:34,960
it was that my phone had a headphone jack

78
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:39,280
oh boy this is in about as good condition as

79
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:43,120
i'd expect it to be the headphone jack

80
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,560
had a little problem problem number one

81
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:55,039
it wasn't a three and a half mil it was the less standard more fragile

82
00:05:52,960 --> 00:06:00,639
two and a half mil problem number the second

83
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,639
the headphone jack was actually

84
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:11,360
the only way to get audio in and out of the device

85
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:15,919
did that just blow your mind yeah oh boy so get this

86
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,759
the expectation okay for motorola geniuses that they are other than some

87
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,479
pretty stupid crap they've pulled over the years the expectation was that this

88
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:28,800
goes in your pocket or clips to your belt because that was a thing back then

89
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:33,680
okay and you put this very comfortable

90
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,520
earpiece in your ear

91
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,680
and you just kind of hope that that sits somewhere kind of desirable also it

92
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:46,319
wasn't a very good microphone now there was another solution and i did

93
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:51,039
invest in this aforementioned other solution for myself

94
00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:55,520
and that was that you could pull the battery cover off

95
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:00,880
and there was a module that added about this much more thickness to the phone

96
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,960
that had a microphone in one end and an

97
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:09,919
earphone jack in the other end and then a little wire that plugged into here

98
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,120
so you had this like dongle

99
00:07:09,919 --> 00:07:16,639
and actually it was the it must have been the other way it was the other way so you had this dongle and you would

100
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:20,000
hold it like this up up against your head and it was like

101
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:24,479
literally this thick by that point it had kind of this weird kind of wavy sort

102
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,639
of pattern to it anyway i i wasn't able to get one of those because

103
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:32,000
who the hell would have kept them but as you guys can probably

104
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:37,199
guess having it sitting like that in your pocket all the time

105
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:41,199
wore out the headphone jacks within a matter of months for every single one of

106
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:46,319
us to the point where i was always like this with my pinky on the jack holding

107
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:50,639
it in place while i'm trying to conduct a phone call

108
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:55,840
let's find out if this ebay seller is full of crap so they claim it works

109
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,440
why they even had this thing why they thought to list it on ebay i don't know

110
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,919
but it was their freaking lucky day because i paid like 70 bucks for it

111
00:08:01,599 --> 00:08:09,120
which is most assuredly not worth i just hey hey look at that

112
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:12,240
charging complete baby although i'm willing to bet

113
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:18,479
yeah it turns off immediately this battery is completely hoopty-hooped whoa

114
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:21,919
hey no

115
00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:27,840
nice holy crap

116
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,039
it's working

117
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:37,120
so the frequency support for this phone is such that there's no way i'm getting

118
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,959
on a network it's like i forget we're we're 800 over here and they're 850 over

119
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:45,200
there gsm blah blah blah it doesn't matter anyway the point is there's no

120
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:48,160
way that's going to work over here but what we can do

121
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:54,320
is holy crap access internet

122
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:58,000
yeah network not available i should certainly think so i think yeah i think

123
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,080
we're done here do you do you remember when phones used

124
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:09,440
to have like limited number of phone numbers you could store on them and stuff oh yeah

125
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:12,240
show call timers right right

126
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,279
because we used to be so worried about how long we were spending on the phone

127
00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:20,880
because we only had a limited number of minutes that like it was important to have a timer

128
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,720
oh man audible call timer so it would beep every minute so you'd know how many

129
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,160
minutes you're using that is so awesome

130
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:37,440
wow i just had like a like a flashback

131
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:40,080
moment that was my ringtone like in high school you know

132
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,880
ring or vibrate at least i had vibrate you couldn't take that for granted back

133
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,070
then so that was nice when i'd get texts um

134
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:52,179
in class or whatever

135
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:56,560
i used this one at one point

136
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:02,839
sorry i'm just like having fun right now i guess i could

137
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:08,959
keep making a video hey oops that's menu crap

138
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,360
hey sup

139
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:17,640
thanks for

140
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,640
helping

141
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,880
it's a terrible keyboard thanks for helping me instead

142
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:28,880
e call or something i don't know i mean i didn't really have a lot of functions

143
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:33,440
i think the last thing to really show off for you guys

144
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,839
has got to be games oh oh that's right hold on hold on

145
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,279
there so that's your quick settings like all your quick stuff

146
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:46,640
vibrate on and off oh my god this is so awesome

147
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:49,920
internet you're right okay

148
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:54,959
last thing then play some games towers of hanoi

149
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,360
baccarat and bricks

150
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,360
so i actually never really played um

151
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,600
towers open away like like i know i know how the game works

152
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:10,000
and then baccarat i didn't really understand the game at the time

153
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:16,800
options bet on player bet on banker bet on tai

154
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:19,760
and you just you put in like an amount

155
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:25,440
and then you deal and then someone would win and then

156
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,880
you would get or lose points

157
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:32,079
so i didn't really like get it

158
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:36,399
yeah we can end the game but bricks

159
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:36,399
i played a lot

160
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,519
and like the other games

161
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:47,200
there wasn't really a great deal of depth to it

162
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,920
like it's not like the ball starts to go faster

163
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:53,760
or anything in fact if i recall correctly once you

164
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,399
clear the bricks uh you just bounce the ball around in an

165
00:11:55,839 --> 00:12:01,760
empty thing but don't quote me on that let's we're just gonna have to see how

166
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:05,600
this plays out i think like the funny thing is i could say to my kids with a

167
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:11,040
straight face when i was a boy we only had one level

168
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,760
and we were happy to have it and of course like the paddle does not

169
00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:19,279
like the the the spot on the paddle that you hit doesn't affect the angle the

170
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:24,240
ball comes off it at so

171
00:12:20,959 --> 00:12:26,240
you just kind of have to

172
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:31,200
i gotta go to wancho but instead i'm stuck here like

173
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,320
oh oh oh

174
00:12:36,839 --> 00:12:41,279
no is it affected by how you're moving

175
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:48,399
when it hits it is two there we go

176
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:48,399
physics so you can spin it

177
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:58,079

178
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,079

181
00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:10,720

182
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:16,320
it was clear and you could like

183
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,320
take a breather and then continue later

184
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:24,639

185
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:30,320
was called by my carrier here in canada um

186
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,959
there were a lot of a lot of sacrifices

187
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:37,519
there was not a lot of sex appeal but for better or for worse

188
00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:40,240
