As a kid I didn't have a phone, but my parents gave me a cheap iPod Nano. I flashed a custom OS on it (RockBox), which used Morse code as the primary input, since iPods only have a single button.

Programming in lua and writing my diary in Morse code on this microscopic device was a lot of fun.

Morse was a clever way to bypass limitations, which is the definition of hacking itself.
