A true forerunner to the modern smartphone, this silver flip-phone packed 32 MB of onboard flash memory—enough to hold roughly 7 to 10 digital audio tracks—and allowed users to load songs directly from a home computer using a supplied cable and software. To manage music on the go, it came bundled with a special wired headset featuring a built-in inline remote control to adjust volume, skip tracks, and automatically pause playback whenever an incoming call rang through. Equipped with a green-backlit monochrome display, voice-activated dialing, and up to 10 hours of continuous music playback, the UpRoar generated massive buzz by showing the world for the first time that a single pocketable device could replace both a cell phone and a portable cassette or CD player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcquired from: \u003c\/strong\u003eeBay.com \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samsung","offers":[{"title":"Samsung Uproar SPH-M100","offer_id":54370460041526,"sku":null,"price":2000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.westporttechmuseum.com\/products\/samsung-uproar-sph-m100-2000-2001","provider":"Westport Tech Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
