Retro Tech Gold: This Old Phone Could Convert Handwriting to Text Years Ahead of Its Time
Technology has been advancing at an astonishing pace in recent years. We are confronted with a new development every single day. The most rapid progression, however, has been in the realm of mobile phones. These devices, which in the past simply facilitated our communication as long as the network permitted, are now utilized in a wide array of areas in daily life, from banking to official business. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that mobile phones have even altered our lifestyle.
A social media user recently shared an old mobile phone model that could convert handwritten text into digital text. This technology, far ahead of its time, garnered much admiration.

So, was this model available in Turkey?
The device featured in the video is the Nokia 6108, which, for its time, boasted quite an unconventional and 'hybrid' technology. The Nokia 6108 was globally launched around the middle of 2003. Back then, phones were not fully touch-sensitive yet, so having both a physical keypad and a stylus-writable area was quite a significant innovation. The Nokia 6108 officially made its way to Turkey and was sold in stores. However, it never reached the heights of popularity that the 3310, 6600, or 1100 models did. It primarily remained a niche choice, often seen as a 'businessperson's phone' or the pick for those seeking something different.
