Back in the early and mid 2000s, mobile phones had a slow data connection achieved via WAP protocol. Ericsson, Siemens, Nokia etc had their own data settings, what today we call APN. Connection was slow as fvck but we still downloaded grainy 3GP videos for self pleasures. The videos were in Kilobytes (kB).

Popular WAP sites

** WAP TRICK**

Waptrick was the go-to website at those times; it provided virtually everything; from Java games & apps to Symbian games & apps, and also wallpapers. More so, Waptrick has categories for MP3s, videos, wallpapers,

** Get Jar**

Get Jar went live in 2004 and competed with Waptrick as one of the best sites to download all kinds of Java games. This site is still very much functional and still gets thousands of daily visitors. Yes, it runs on HTTPS protocol, and you can download a lot of new stuff there.

As of 2016, Get Jar was the best site to download mobile games for Nokia S40 devices, and other feature phones like the Nokia 2700, Nokia C1/C2/C3

This phone was beautiful and had class. Motorola outdid themselves here and I doubt there’s been a better designed phone by any manufacturer appearance-wise since the RAZR models.

Downloading Elliot Yamin’s wait for you midi tone on this legend phone was equivalent to having a paid spotify account today

I had a Motorola L7. It was the equivalent of the V3 but in candy bar form. The thing had nice mo3 ringtones and nice camera for it’s time.

Mine was Sony CMD J70, it could record audio and I’d use it as ringtone.

Penda sana hizi tbt. I had the aforementioned Motorola w220. A very rich cousin came to Kenya from the USA with a coloured screen phone and in it was a basketball game. At the time I thought the future had reached it’s peak. I could not fathom how the world could possibly get better than this. Simu iko na camera, sijui 256 colours, gprs…I didn’t even know the brand of phone that was. Pia nilikuwa nacollect Kencell plastic cards for my personal amusements. Na supa strikas pia.

Airtime ilikuwa 300 bob, with no offers to save it through minute packages or data packages. Phone owners then were somehow richer than the phone owners in this okoa 5 bob times.
