Wait until you see the trifold phone that unfolds into a huge screen.

Just about as fragile as all of those toys.

Fragile describes the souls of smartphone users.

I sometimes think back to how inventive they used to be back when these things were starting to become widespread. One of my co-op placements back when I was getting my degree about 20 years ago was at a software company where part of my work involved cellphones. I had access to all kinds of devices, including some of the ones shown in the video. It was quite an experience trying them all out. I liked the one that played musical notes whenever a number was pressed (I think it was a Samsung phone), had some entertainment figuring out how to play different tunes with it.

Nowadays every single phone is a boring rectangular touchscreen with an unnecessary amount of cameras on the back. Occasionally you'll get one that folds, and that's as innovative as it gets I guess. I blame crapple and their gay iphones for indirectly setting the design standard for smartphones. I miss the creative designs, and also having buttons.

Agreed.

I saw some of the first gen folding screen phones and they weren't that great. Just give me the cheapest android phone and that'll do thanks.

People still pay good money for these even if you can't use them anymore.

Had a kid at the second hand shop on a quest to find the classic Nokia brick. Couldn't have been more than 12 years old.

Best my V20 can do is pop the back cover off to take the battery and cards out

#4 was the best.

Everyone else fucked up. I still have a flip phone.
