WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:11.759
theory that goes yeah you can sell or buy pretty much anything on ebay

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:15.360
i figured okay i'm gonna put this to the test

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:18.560
can i find my first

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.359
cell phone and the answer

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:28.720
is yes so this

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:30.400
is the motorola v100e

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

00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:40.079
phone and apparently this thing works

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:46.559
so i am going to open it up and show you guys

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:48.399
just how stone age i am

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.320
after i tell you about freshbooks freshbooks is the easy to use accounting

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

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:17.920
compare and contrast my current daily driver here in 2018

00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:21.040
with the very first cell phone that i

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.400
ever owned uh and i got this thing back

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:29.040
in well i mean i could probably just look at the okay packed in the eu

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.479
blah blah blah does it have a does it

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.759
have any kind of date information on it so hold on a

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:39.520
second so i was i was 16 i had just gotten my full

00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:41.200
license the deal was that i got a car

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:45.360
and a cell phone it's a pretty sweet deal

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:50.479
as long as i was willing to drive my four siblings to and from wherever they

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.640
needed to go and as long as i was at my

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:56.640
parents beck and call at any time so this was like effectively i was the

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:59.960
family driver and this was like my pager so that would have been

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:05.840
about 2003 i want to say probably around

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:09.200
around around 2003 so that was 15 years

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:10.720
ago holy crap am i ever getting old

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

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:22.400
makes text messaging to your friends easier use to access a range of information

00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:26.720
via your phone including cinema listings entertainment and sport

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:31.599
cool that worked out great wide screen

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:36.400
visual display excellent from when you are playing you're playing from a choice

00:02:33.519 --> 00:02:41.519
of three games so my mom my stepdad and i all got the

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:44.800
same phones and it was important for us because my mom is hard of hearing so

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

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

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.640
got this super cheap plan that had like

00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:00.080
a hundred minutes like and no no like unlimited weekends or evenings or

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:04.000
anything like that and then it was mostly i just had like 250 text messages

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

00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:13.760
what's in here so um this is just from an ebay seller so i

00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:16.319
actually am not a hundred percent oh

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

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:24.000
with the north american adapter but actually they just used the north

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:28.560
american version to adapt to the uk one so we just we

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.040
just dodged a huge bullet here because like i could have probably found a

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.799
substitute for this or like

00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:39.680
freaking i don't know it's for 4.4 volts

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

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

00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:55.920
for granted stuff that we just don't have to deal with anymore all right so

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:59.040
hopefully we're good then what else we got

00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.040
um battery storage case for your protection

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

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

00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:16.239
like years ago this battery was dead

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

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:22.919
phone by far this

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.800
okay i was actually kind of worried that uh

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:40.160
this wasn't gonna be the right thing but no this

00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:42.720
this is it you know i'm actually so sad

00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:46.080
that clear plastic casings died off like

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

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:55.440
cell phone that had a backing like that so you could see the battery and stuff

00:04:53.120 --> 00:05:00.639
would that not be cool um so yeah you can see actually you can

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

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

00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:12.720
sure it just had a standard motorola logo in terms of i o

00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.880
there's an ok button here that i that you could use to answer calls

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:21.360
i don't remember what this special button over here did uh this right here

00:05:19.280 --> 00:05:25.919
is the charging port nothing on the back just the hinge here and then

00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:31.600
what glory be it's got a headphone jack so as cool as

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:34.960
it was that my phone had a headphone jack

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:39.280
oh boy this is in about as good condition as

00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:43.120
i'd expect it to be the headphone jack

00:05:40.960 --> 00:05:46.560
had a little problem problem number one

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:55.039
it wasn't a three and a half mil it was the less standard more fragile

00:05:52.960 --> 00:06:00.639
two and a half mil problem number the second

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:04.639
the headphone jack was actually

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:11.360
the only way to get audio in and out of the device

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:15.919
did that just blow your mind yeah oh boy so get this

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:19.759
the expectation okay for motorola geniuses that they are other than some

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.479
pretty stupid crap they've pulled over the years the expectation was that this

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:28.800
goes in your pocket or clips to your belt because that was a thing back then

00:06:27.280 --> 00:06:33.680
okay and you put this very comfortable

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:37.520
earpiece in your ear

00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:41.680
and you just kind of hope that that sits somewhere kind of desirable also it

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.319
wasn't a very good microphone now there was another solution and i did

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:51.039
invest in this aforementioned other solution for myself

00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:55.520
and that was that you could pull the battery cover off

00:06:53.120 --> 00:07:00.880
and there was a module that added about this much more thickness to the phone

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:02.960
that had a microphone in one end and an

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:09.919
earphone jack in the other end and then a little wire that plugged into here

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.120
so you had this like dongle

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

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:20.000
hold it like this up up against your head and it was like

00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:24.479
literally this thick by that point it had kind of this weird kind of wavy sort

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:28.639
of pattern to it anyway i i wasn't able to get one of those because

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:32.000
who the hell would have kept them but as you guys can probably

00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:37.199
guess having it sitting like that in your pocket all the time

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:41.199
wore out the headphone jacks within a matter of months for every single one of

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

00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:50.639
it in place while i'm trying to conduct a phone call

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

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

00:07:57.840 --> 00:08:03.919
but it was their freaking lucky day because i paid like 70 bucks for it

00:08:01.599 --> 00:08:09.120
which is most assuredly not worth i just hey hey look at that

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:12.240
charging complete baby although i'm willing to bet

00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:18.479
yeah it turns off immediately this battery is completely hoopty-hooped whoa

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:21.919
hey no

00:08:21.919 --> 00:08:27.840
nice holy crap

00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.039
it's working

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

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

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.200
there gsm blah blah blah it doesn't matter anyway the point is there's no

00:08:42.719 --> 00:08:48.160
way that's going to work over here but what we can do

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:54.320
is holy crap access internet

00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:58.000
yeah network not available i should certainly think so i think yeah i think

00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:02.080
we're done here do you do you remember when phones used

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

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:12.240
show call timers right right

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.279
because we used to be so worried about how long we were spending on the phone

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

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

00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:28.160
minutes you're using that is so awesome

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:37.440
wow i just had like a like a flashback

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:40.080
moment that was my ringtone like in high school you know

00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:44.880
ring or vibrate at least i had vibrate you couldn't take that for granted back

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:49.070
then so that was nice when i'd get texts um

00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:52.179
in class or whatever

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.560
i used this one at one point

00:09:56.640 --> 00:10:02.839
sorry i'm just like having fun right now i guess i could

00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:08.959
keep making a video hey oops that's menu crap

00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:11.360
hey sup

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:17.640
thanks for

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:17.640
helping

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.880
it's a terrible keyboard thanks for helping me instead

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

00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:33.440
i think the last thing to really show off for you guys

00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:37.839
has got to be games oh oh that's right hold on hold on

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:41.279
there so that's your quick settings like all your quick stuff

00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:46.640
vibrate on and off oh my god this is so awesome

00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:49.920
internet you're right okay

00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:54.959
last thing then play some games towers of hanoi

00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:59.360
baccarat and bricks

00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.360
so i actually never really played um

00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:05.600
towers open away like like i know i know how the game works

00:11:03.760 --> 00:11:10.000
and then baccarat i didn't really understand the game at the time

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:16.800
options bet on player bet on banker bet on tai

00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:19.760
and you just you put in like an amount

00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:25.440
and then you deal and then someone would win and then

00:11:21.760 --> 00:11:26.880
you would get or lose points

00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:32.079
so i didn't really like get it

00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:36.399
yeah we can end the game but bricks

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.399
i played a lot

00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:43.519
and like the other games

00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:47.200
there wasn't really a great deal of depth to it

00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:49.920
like it's not like the ball starts to go faster

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:53.760
or anything in fact if i recall correctly once you

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.399
clear the bricks uh you just bounce the ball around in an

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

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

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:11.040
straight face when i was a boy we only had one level

00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:15.760
and we were happy to have it and of course like the paddle does not

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

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:24.240
ball comes off it at so

00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:26.240
you just kind of have to

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:31.200
i gotta go to wancho but instead i'm stuck here like

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.320
oh oh oh

00:12:36.839 --> 00:12:41.279
no is it affected by how you're moving

00:12:39.920 --> 00:12:48.399
when it hits it is two there we go

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.399
physics so you can spin it

00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:58.079
okay all right we got this we got this i can do it i can do it wait for it

00:12:54.160 --> 00:12:58.079
ah shoot that could have gotten it too

00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.639
okay

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:08.880
did we get it yeah we got it score

00:13:04.839 --> 00:13:10.720
yes that's right so you could pause when

00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:16.320
it was clear and you could like

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:18.320
take a breather and then continue later

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:24.639
so that's it you guys that was my first phone the motorola v100 or vbox as it

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:30.320
was called by my carrier here in canada um

00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:32.959
there were a lot of a lot of sacrifices

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:37.519
there was not a lot of sex appeal but for better or for worse

00:13:34.959 --> 00:13:40.240
that got me through my high school social life

00:13:40.880 --> 00:13:47.200
and this video is brought to you by squarespace squarespace makes it easy to
