As this episode of "When Phones Were Fun" hits the server, Samsung has just announced its Galaxy Note20 device family, the tenth generation of its stylus-centric smartphone first announced in 2011. The subject of today’s throwback is *not* that first Galaxy Note … but rather, an 18-year-old forerunner that folds like the Galaxy Z Flip; packs a stylus like the Galaxy Note; and despite its age, runs a true smartphone OS. The year is 2002, and the phone is the Samsung SPH-i500 – a pioneering smartphone from back in the days when Palms would fold!
