About Stephen Radochia

Steve was a Senior Writer at AP, where he covered over 40 smartphones a year.  Steve has carried the latest and greatest around in his pocket for nearly 30 years, with everything from Motorola StarTACs to Samsung Galaxys crossing his path. Early appearances on TechTV fueled his love of media, and when he isn’t writing, you’ll find him ranting on YouTube as StevealiciousTech.

How long have you been interested in technology?

I've been hooked on computers since the beginning. Teachers used to have to pull me away from the Apple II we had in the classroom in the late '80s, and my passion has only grown from there. Smartphones and other consumer tech are more interesting in 2026 than people give them credit for, and I love covering them. 

What was your first phone and what do you remember about it?

The first cell phone I ever used was a Mitsubishi, but the first phone that was mine alone was the Nokia 5110. It was a huge brick from 1998 with the removable faceplates you could buy at a mall kiosk. I remember loving one I got that was iridescent green. You were in shock whenever the battery wasn't at a full four bars, as the thing would last a week.
