You can't use a 2009 phone in the US.  All the 2G and 3G networks are
shut down.  Even my old 2016 phone was very marginal (I had to install
some kind of unreliable patch to get it to use LTE for voice) and I
upgraded to a 2023 phone that is pretty good.

For servers you can run pretty much the same software as before, but on
the client side you have to use web browsers to get by in today's world,
and those browsers have to run awful bloaty Javascript monstrosities
that are on everyone's web sites now.  It used to be Microsoft Word
driving a "Wintel" upgrade loop, but now it's the web, and it's harder
to escape.  I think my laptop in 2005 was a Pentium 3 with 512MB of ram.
It would be almost unusable now.
