[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!
