How did YOU get into the world of cell phones?

Started out installing them(before the portable phone)at a stereo shop back in the late eighties.

I first started when Pocket first came into existence in my city. I was fascinated that you could change the way the phone worked and all that stuff.

I've always been into tech. I took all the classes I could that related to computers. Cellphones are just really little computers anymore. I guess you could trace back my ties to cellphone modding back to when I got the consumer reports best buy E815. I got it and was like, "wtf?". It didn't do anything special. It was so gimped by the carrier that I may as well have bought an old nokia candy bar. I researched on the web and found out about seem edits and enabled bluetooth internet tethering. I also enabled OBEX. My phone was free from their restrictions and I knew that was going to be what I'd do to every phone I could from then on. My current position where I play with phones for a living came about because my roommate opened a cellphone store and knew I was good at things.

I got started when my wife took her (at the time) $500 razr for a swim. I have worked in the electronics industry for some time and I figured out how to fix her water Damaged phone. It's been my bread and butter ever since. Flashing is a bonus.

Are you retarded man, you are way off in posting this. Read the rules and post your questions in the proper forum.

I got into this when I needed a job and I new a guy who could flash phones. Well I begged for a job, then begged to be taught how to flash this that and the other. Then got my moto q and it was over with from there I needed to know everything I can bout CDMA phones. Also I have been modding game consoles for forever and a PC nerd since I was 6 so it was just inevitable.
