Welcome to the Legacy Portable Computing Wiki!
This is a wiki dedicated to preserving the knowledge and content of outdated mobile devices.

Feel free to edit any information that is missing or inaccurate, especially since this wiki is based in the US and we may not have info on carriers and phones outside the US.

What belongs here?
We focus primarily on phones and other handhelds and portable devices. Since many of these devices have a built-in MIDI synth, musical composition also coincides with the phone preservation hobby. Thus, pages for music hardware are accepted, but are not the primary focus.

There's no specific criteria for exactly what devices belong here, but this would be a general rule of thumb:


 * Feature phones, or "dumbphones"
 * Smart handhelds (smartphones, PDAs, internet tablets, etc.) running any of the following:
 * Android 4.4 or earlier
 * Blackberry OS
 * iOS 6.1.6 or earlier
 * Palm OS
 * Symbian OS
 * WebOS
 * Windows CE, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone, Windows 10 Mobile
 * Bada
 * Any other outdated mobile OS or platform that has not received support for several years
 * Musical equipment
 * Drum machines
 * Electronic keyboards
 * General MIDI capable sound cards
 * Synthesizer hardware of any kind

Help Topics
