Hi all! Glad to be here. I don’t want to make this so long so I’m writing a few details.

I’m Iván “iCreSTZ” (26) from Spain. Since I was young I was interested in all kind of tech and the possibilities it can bring. I’m into PC stuff, hardware and software as I build my PCs and optimize my setup; and mobile stuff as I’m mobile apps developer (I think this contributed to my OCD, need to see all in order and organized and less chaotic 😛).

On the smartphone topic, I’m always looking for a reliable phone with close attention details and a new and different feature implemented that breaks the standards (with an affordable price) accesible for all, and that’s where Nothing comes here.
I had 4 smartphones in my lifetime, 1 was a basic Nokia, and the other 3 are worth to mention because I got a great experience with them:

-Samsung Galaxy S2, flagship back then (if I’m not wrong, writing from memory), bought on release (2011), lasted 3 years.

-LG G3, another flagship, one of the first with Quad HD screen, and unique back buttons system of LG, bought on release (2014), lasted 3 years.

-LG G6, another flagship, best phone I’ve ever had, not gonna write much, one of the first phones on maximize the % of screen on the front, great design, bought on release (2017), this is my daily driver, aged perfectly and was pretending to use it for a long time, until I heard about Phone (1).

Excited for what Nothing can offer. I love the close approach and the friendly community, and I pretend to stay here for a long time and contribute to the community as much as I can.

      Namaste Nothing Community! (Indian way of greeting)

      I’m Soumyajit and a Computer Science Engineer currently working in one of the BIG 4’s in India. Super excited to be a part of the community and Love what Nothing is doing.

      Was a bit late getting to know about “Nothing” but reading and researching more & more about it made me a fan of carl’s vision. Similar to what happened when Oneplus was introduced but Nothing is different and that what made me interested about it.

      Thank you for inviting me @Louis ☕️

      And I hope all are doing great. Cheers

                    Hey All!

                    Based in the US, Metro-Detroit Michigan specifically. I’ve been in the mobile tech space for roughly 17 years now. I actually started swapping phones back in 2006, almost on a weekly/monthly basis because I was experiencing connectivity issues with my carrier at the time, (Cingular Wireless, now AT&T). An executive from the company stepped in and started having me demo new phones as they launched to test connectivity and rate network reliability as a consumer. I’d receive new phones from various brands, test them, and provide feedback regularly. While that feedback loop ended, my love for tech and mobile devices did not. I have been swapping phones ever since! I’m super excited to see what Nothing is bringing to the space. I’m absolutely loving Ear 2 and Phone 2 after upgrading from Ear 1 / Phone 1, but even more I’m enjoying this great community! You are all awesome and I look forward to the many conversations and in person events! Great meeting you all here! Take care!

                      Hi everybody, I’m megatomic from the Discord channel. I’m a control systems engineer in the USA specifically Florida. I signed up for the forums back before the migration to Discord and never got to post.

                      I’m very enthusiastic about Nothing and love everything I’ve bought (Phone 1, Phone 2, Ear 2s) as well as the community surrounding the company.

                      I’m not sure what else to say, y’all already know me. But what you don’t know is my spirit device. Anyone remember this?

                      That’s the device that got me into Android and I still have it in a box in my closet.

                        megatomic Is that a Moto E? I had a few of these back in the day - at the time it was one of the best bang-for-your-buck devices with a clean version of Android…and I remember those great coloured back covers!
