In 12 years there have been a lot of changes in the mobile industry. Trends have come and gone. Others have stayed and made a difference.
Today we celebrate the 12th anniversary of this site. It is such a milestone to have you to celebrate it with us.

2 years before I formally registered as a user, I've been reading posts and downloading themes from this site ever since. I'm so glad to be a part of the big family

i know it's YOUR birthday, but you should give members like me (10yrs+) a free sony phone to celebrate. just a thought
Posted by goldenface
Indeed
We all need a new phone sometime. My XT is beginning to look a bit ropey!

Happy Birtday, Esato!
Maybe a new Playtime competition to celebrate the occasion?
Could donate a
classic

Happy Birthday Esato!
1st came here with my 1st SE, the
W800i to download wallpapers and themes, but only registered about 7months later when I got my W900i and have stayed ever since. Good times had around here with some great members. I think it's my 6th year here.
Oh wow, would be great to have a Playtime comp. When was the last one even
2008?[ This Message was edited by: Tsepz_GP on 2013-08-07 15:48 ]

From mobile phones, to software modding, to rumors, to concepts, to cameraphone photography competitions!
It's nice to be a part of the community.

When I first visited this site these where some of the specs of my Sony Ericsson F500i...
65k screen 120x160 pixels 1.9"
12mb storage
GPRS Class 10
Camera VGA 640x480

How times have moved on.

It's quite scary to think how much technology has changed in twelve years (I just found out I don't need to touch my screen on my mobile to select things, worries me a little ha ha).
I used to visit here on a few of my old phones, just for wallpapers. I signed up in 2007 and the forum has been very helpful. Also checking for rumours is a daily thing now.
Happy Birthday, Esato and here's to many more years.

yeah i joined to get icons for my T39, way back....
loved most of my ericsson/sony ericsson phones
Posted by Supa_Fly
12yrs ... seems longer than that (maybe a previous name?)
Joined eons ago when I got my first Ericsson T-18z as recommended by my local Eriman.
This celebration unfortunately comes off as bittersweet. We've lost contact (I hope only that and not fully lost) a very dear member on these boards ... some, such as myself, who've never personally met him would indeed consider him a friend and mentor in various aspects.
So this birthday, although belongs to Esato ... I personally feel goes out to Masseur!
Peace ... One Love!
Posted by hihihans
@supa-fly, friends come and go but some can't be replaced. Enjoy you knew them.
Posted by goldenface
I too was thinking of masseur the other day - a legend!

Happy Birthday Esato!
From my first K700i to come on here.. tiny screen,vga camera, 2g internet,not much space..
to the current xperia Z.. technology is flying and so is the time
I still surf around here, less engaged due to various reasons...
Hopefully masseur is also doing the same, god bless him.
God bless you all!

Esato has always been the best forum ever with some jolly good folks.
Happy Birthday.
And a shout out to one of the greatest moderators this forum ever had - Masseur. Hope he is in peace.
Any word on the Great Bobafett or ScotsBoy? Just remembering some of the most active members in the early days.
Posted by goldenface
It's seems like decades since we heard from them
Axxxr popped up a few months back and posted in the masseur thread. I got up to some mischief with him
I remember the infamous K900i thread me and him created, which still brings a smile to my face even now.
