They don’t make them small like they used to…
My Motorola T720. That thing took a lot of beatings and somehow survived it all. Haven’t used it in twenty years, but still have it.
I miss the promise of WebOS and the palm Pre series. The 2 and 3 were in the right direction, and then HP 🔥
+1 For the Palm Pre series. My wife still misses her Pixi and I went as far as making a FrankenPre 3 to keep using one.
Palm Pre the undisputed goat for me. Good keyboard, most comfortable shape, next level software.
Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Palm Centro
Palm Pre
Motorola Droid
Motorola RAZR V3M
Nokia 6133, Flip phone that had a button which popped it open. Nothing else has felt as cool as pushing that button to answer a call.
Motorola Razr (the first ones).
My old slimline POTS phone is still mounted to the wall in my kitchen for nostalgia’s sake.
I remember having a phone called NEC (I think) and it had an awesome James Bond ringtone on it
I had a phone back in the day where all I had to do is violently flick it abruptly to enable the flashlight. I use my phone’s flashlight a lot, always have.
There are apps that supposedly do the same thing, but I’ve never found one that worked so well, and so reliably as the one that was baked into the phone’s features/OS/whatever. All the free ones I’ve tried have AIDS I mean ads, though it’s been awhile since I last tried any.
Nokia Lumia 735, it still works but essential apps don’t so I had to switch. It was perfect, reliable, sturdy, and the last phone to comfortably fit in my palm. Had gorilla glass and guts to match, took many a tumble down the pavement when I accidentally yanked the earbud wire while biking, you could hardly tell. Everything about it was just right.
I am sad they switched off 2G some time ago here, I liked calling with my Nokia 6150 once in a while.
My lumia 950 windows phone. Just fantastic ui that is yet to be matched, 13 years later.
My old palm pre was amazing webos ui was way ahead of its time, super customizable, independent from google, Facebook and everyone elae, all in a sleek package with a physical keyboard. It had many other issues but it took android a few years to catch up so their UI wasn’t as clunky.
I hella want a modern Sidekick. Mostly for the physical keyboard.
It was such a simple yet fun device. It had really good sound and an equaliser, which was special at the time. Played loads of music on it. Great battery life too. No WiFi, but honestly, that might be a plus nowadays.
The Sony Walkman / Ericcson slide was S tier.
I had one of those 3d screens. Cheap worthless gimmick? Definitely. Awesome? Also yes.
