Yup it was sick for that time!

Edit: this is N82 model.

I was using jabber/icq, mirc at the school via GPRS at that time on this nokia. It was incredibly powerful device for that moment, one of the most powerful symbians along with n95, iirc

I looked forward to the N95 from the moment it was announced, and bugged my carrier as to when they'd get it. It served me well for just over a year until I got the first iPhone but it really was good. I still have it in a drawer

Damn I had no idea you could use ICQ and mIRC on a phone. I suppose in 2007 I was off ICQ, but still, it would have been great

The N82 was the candy bar N95 IIRC. I think it might’ve been slightly better because from what I remember the N95 didn’t have a xenon flash. Still an amazing phone though.

oh jezz mirc... Those were the days... The nostalgic piracy, irc scipting, cheats4u, MAN those days were awesome!!!

EDIT: and of course ICQ... I still remember having a 5 or 6 digit ICQ# and people at my school offered me up to $50 for the number, eventually I lost access to it and stopped caring but my sisters and I thought we were hot shit because of our short ICQ numbers lol

(I can't remember specifically how many digits, but I know it was real low, then when I lost it, the numbers at that point were at least 8 - 10 digits, maybe longer...
