When newly invented tech lost their novelty imo:
Touch-screen smartphones: late 2014-early 2015
Touch-screen tablets: late 2016-early 2017
When newly invented social media lost their novelty imo:
Zoom: late 2020-early 2021
YouTube: 2015
Myspace: late 2006-early 2007 ?
I guess this occurs when certain tech and social media have just bug fix updates, nothing ground-breaking anymore.

Yes and green ones a well. You had one game called snake and had to pay for all your texts and it took a while to get used to typing when this came out. Basically bare bones mostly, they added features like calender and other things, and in the early 2000s you started seeing colored pre-slider/fliphone screens.

Basically bare bones mostly, they added features like calender and other things, and in the early 2000s you started seeing colored pre-slider/fliphone screens. That sounds nostalgic and classic. I forgot about the green displays. I remember the snake. Texting must've been a novelty in the early 2000s. I read on Reddit that the Motorolla Razr V3 release in November 2004 helped color displays take off, but of course that was in existence in the early 2000s. Would cell phones still be made with antennas? I recall seeing a phone like that in the 2001 movie "Rush Hour 2." Color would be more common later for sure though. Texting wasn't really a novetly, it was somewhat a common thing in the early 2000s on cellphones but it was more limited and not used as much compared to nowadays, it took a while to getting used to typing on a numerical pad and just to find the right letters. I remember texting friends all throughout the early 2000s, we are just used to using messenger and whatsapp now which is free. Not every single person had a phone and people were getting used to phones but most of the people in my classes had phones, the average business person, working mom, middle class family, college student and sophomore/senior high school student etc were more likely to have a cellphone in 2001-2003, this wasn't 1998-1999, even then it already entered the mainstream and changed the world, the fact that you could hold a compact phone for an afforable cost, not a car phone, not a payphone and text people and talk to people around the world at any time, and enough people were owning them - this was the key difference compared to phones in earlier years which did not catch on most people did not have phones earlier and they weren't compact, even if kids and younger people and lots of people still did not have them in 1998-1999-2000, they already entered the mainstream and made an impact and this was revolutionary, this time in phone history is strongly part of the Y2K era. I don't think cellphones were as common for people in 2000-2002 under 15 back then or those in smaller cities or towns or who never cared to own one, a closer date would be 2002-2004 for that to increase and even the mid 2000s in this specific regard. Cell phones were definitely commonplace in the early 2000s, they already became a thing by late 1998.

Color displays were big a few months before it dropped,  this was the phone that almost everyone had @ the time

Would cell phones still be made with antennas? I recall seeing a phone like that in the 2001 movie "Rush Hour 2." There are the exact phones I had in the early 2000s, I had the same exact colors. I think I still have the second one. I'm kind of tempted to turn it on, its probably really dirty though, I think battery could have leaked. Nokia 3310. I got this in Christmas 2000, used it some point in 2002:  Nokia 8310 - This one I got at some point in 2002 and used it until 2004, but it was kind dated at some point that year but I kept on using it lol

It was such a big deal because we could now record video and take pictures, even if it looked like crap. I remember being impressed @ the time in 2004 lol. Around September these phones blew up.
