It’s the dawn of a new century. China launches its first manned space mission; the human genome is finally sequenced; and in North America, over 50 million people lose power due in part to a software bug. In short: technology has woven its way into so many facets of our lives that movies like The Matrix are coming out to critique … and yes, consumerize that infestation.

The year is 2003; the device is the Samsung SPH-n270 "Matrix Phone"; and this is episode 1 of When Phones Were Fun! Join Michael Fisher/MrMobile for a throwback retro review of one of the earliest and most elaborate product placements in the history of mobile tech: a mobile device that pulled double-duty as on-screen prop ... and cellphone you could actually buy!
