Palm Pre and Nexus 5 were before Samsung for me. Ahh way back then I ALMOST got a Windows phone, but got into Treo instead. That led to Palm Pre, niche lovely little thing, it&#8217;s only goodness was wireless charging and that slide out keyboard, oh yummy. Software was nothing to think about writing home regarding. I still have that Palm Pre, but the Nexus 5 is dead. It can&#8217;t hold a charge, turns off even plugged in. It&#8217;s a piece of &#8230; has no use beside being an ugly paperweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I keep one of those Treo phones in a drawer and pull it out and charge, play Bejeweled for a bit now and then.
