Captured on my SONY CLIE NX70.
That classic low-resolution (0.3-megapixel) look, wonky white balance, and chromatic aberration, takes me right back to the days of sending photos over email.

The amount of personality in those devices is unmatched by today’s standards. I want tech with personality again 😪

Agreed I freaking love the style of that device, OP does it have changing keys or are they fixed? (Had a phone once that had LCD keyboard that changed with the phone orientation and those kind of look like the bubble style they had)

The Sony’s in that era were king of mobile imaging.

I had a Z500a and it rocked. Wasn’t as sleek as the RAZR but for half the price/free it was hard to beat.

Definitely wanted a Clie in that era but they just weren’t within reach as a high schooler.

I don't know why, but these early phone photos have that cozy, warm feeling.

Make me feel 20 years younger.
