Welcome to Episode 3 of 0G, A History of Forgotten Phones! 0G is a limited-run podcast where we look back at how weird and wonderful smartphones were back in the days before iOS and Android took over and your only option became a rectangular slab running one or the other.


0G is hosted by two people who were there: Christie Pitts (now at Backstage Capital), who started her career selling phones at a Verizon store, and Peter Rojas (now at Betaworks Ventures), founder of Gizmodo, Engadget, and gdgt.


In Episode 6 we take a look at the phones of 2008, including the Nokia E71, Nokia N97, Palm Treo Pro, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 (and the desktop charger!), the Samsung Omnia, and the Blackberry Storm.
