It’s not the world’s first camera phone, or Sprint’s, or even Samsung’s – but the Samsung SPH-A600 was the first camera phone that made taking pictures feel almost as natural as with a point-and-shoot, by using bleeding-edge design that still makes sense seventeen years later. 

The year is 2003, and the Samsung SPH-A600 just became MrMobile’s first camera phone, back in the days when phones … were fun!

[ABOUT WHEN PHONES WERE FUN – SAMSUNG’S 2003 CAMERAPHONE]

This is the fifth in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2009.

When Phones Were Fun: Episode 5 features a Samsung SPH-A600 vintage cell phone sold by Bell Canada, on loan from friend of the channel Mike’s private collection. No company paid a fee or otherwise offered compensation in exchange for this coverage, nor did any company preview or approve this content before publication.
