Welcome to the Episode 2 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 2 we take a look at the phones of 2005, including the Treo 650, LG VX9800, Nokia 770 Internet Communicator, Moto ROKR, Blackberry 7100 and 8700, and the HTC Universal. Content warning: there is an anecdote involving Ja Rule in this episode. Want to contact us? Christie is @imchristiepitts and Peter is @peterrojas on Twitter. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.
