[WHEN PHONES WERE FUN: SAMSUNG UPSTAGE / SAMSUNG ULTRA MUSIC]
In the world of vintage tech reviews, it just doesn’t get any more 2007 than the opening sentence of PhoneScoop’s Samsung UpStage Review: “What if you flipped your mp3 player over only to find a cell phone on the other side?”
When Sprint announced this credit-card-sized curiosity in March of that year, the “music phone” category was already firmly established. My first dumbphone with an mp3 player was Nextel’s i870, released about a year and a half prior – around the same time Sony Ericsson’s famous Walkman phones took off (and Motorola’s infamous ROKR line failed to do the same). But it was Samsung, as usual, that took the concept to the brink of the absurd, dividing the two functions across the two faces of what globally it called the “Samsung Ultra Music” – and what we in the States would come to know as the Samsung UpStage.
Join MrMobile for a trip back to 2007 as we re-review this one-of-a-kind two-faced music phone in the latest episode of When Phones Were Fun: Samsung UpStage / Samsung Ultra Music!

This is the eleventh in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2009.
When Phones Were Fun: Episode 11 features a Samsung Ultra Music F300 on loan from Alvaro Agraz, and a Samsung UpStage M620 purchased by MrMobile / Future plc. With the exception of the sponsor Yubico, no company paid a fee or otherwise offered compensation in exchange for this coverage, nor did any company preview or approve this content before publication.
