I saw these and thought they'd be perfect for a comm along these lines if one existed on lemmy, and lo and behold, it does exist!

I've fully scanned and archived this web design magazine from 2000 and put it up on the Internet Archive. You can go and experience the future of the web, 25 years ago!

Some juicy pictures:

As the title tells, this site hosted by Aalto University is full of Nokia's various product designs.

The archive has its own category for designs explicitly associated with the Y2K aesthetics. https://nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi/?node=C0032

Here's a "blue multimedia concept device with ear plugs" from the 1990s, looks pretty dope. https://nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi/?node=A0029

Plus a free MP3?! WHOOOOOOA!

Did someone die? Is this all taking place inside a bottle of 7-Up? So many questions...

Am currently playing the demo, seems insteresting, looks cool, music is great, author is publishing fun technical UE stuff on YouTube

I remember having one of these. Only thing missing is a shot of the handle/hand strap on the back.

Ooooh. Netscape-y!
