Everytime I see Geocities mentioned I feel sad as I could never find my old Geocities site, I tried searching through the archives. All I remember is I was in SiliconValley/Lakes after that I'm stumped.

I had the 7650 in 2004. It had third party apps and I believe it was the first camera phone also. I was a die-hard Nokia fan, even purchasing a full-price N97 before jumping ship to Android in 2010

Why is this a subscription pricing model?.. if all the data is stored on peers Space Monkeys, then the only ongoing cost of keeping it running is electricity for the unit and bandwidth for the connection.
Unless it's a way to draw out more money over time from the user?
