Does anyone else love the early 2000s quirky era of cell phone innovation where they were all distinct looking and had some cool features unlike today where they are all just a slab of a screen? I think if I could get some smartphone features in these older style phones I’d give it a go!

Oh yep! I had the Samsung E370 in red and I adored it! Sliding in shut was a much more satisfying way to end a phone call.
Soomeone got a nostalgia mood today? :) all posts about too_old.jpg
I was so thirsty for a Sidekick when it came out. It was definitely more exciting to shop for, but ultimately the “slab with a screen” has been the best kind of phone I’ve used. I do still have a flip phone for the battery life in my emergency kit though.
In the US, you don’t need a service plan to call and connect to emergency services (IDK if it’s the same in the UK is why I specify) and my little flip phone has a 2 week battery life while ON, let alone if powered off.
It’s like a fidget spinner for me, flipping it open and closing it absent minded.
I thought I was so cool...
that was the dream. The Reloaded phones were a joke comparatively
As a kid the first time I saw this on the Matrix I wanted one so bad! a few years later when I was older I worked part time jobs and finally got one. That was about the time color screen phones were the norm, not touch screens yet. I was so happy and excited everytime someone called me :D
I do think we should be able to change the way our phones look with custom jobs on them, but I am not sure the market for it now is as high as it was back then, I find people often lack the "individual" personality nowadays, it's a lot more the sheep following the sheep who is following the wolf you know?
flip phones, sliders, tiny nokias 8800 and 8250..., ngage i miss them all. Todays phones are big and boring.
I loved the walkman phones, I even had the speakers you have on the photo.
Some of the best conversations on the internet are happening here - and our users are getting rewarded for having them. Don't miss out!
