They don’t make them small like they used to…
My htc hero had a track ball. Peak android right there. Also literally the first android in the US if I recall correctly.
liked the flip-phones with clips to hang them on your belt. no pockets needed. like a pager
Microsoft is now the architect of a lot of shit. But the Windows Phone systems were surprisingly good, and a competitive alternative to iOS and Android. Even using Internet Explorer for its browser wasn’t so bad, since it was the late years of the browser when they understood standards compliance was critical, and followed them entirely.
Its moderate success in outer regions was delivered as an overpromise that lead to Windows 8 as a very “fullscreen touchscreen” OS, so it especially sucks that its follow-on legacy was so tarnished.
It was good at the time, but that hideous OS would never fly today.
Nokia n900. It was everything a smart phone should have been in the first place.
I sometimes wish I had my old nokia. the indestructible brick one.
mostly because i fucking hate smartphones and the always-online-ness.
I still have, in my little nostalgia cash box, a Nokia phone from the early 2000s that has Nokia Bowling on it. Doesn’t have an adapter, but I’m not letting that phone go.
Rip helio ocean, dual slider t9 and keyboard
I miss my old Nokia 6800 Typing was so nice on that phone.
Nope. I never really got into phones. The only reason I bought my smartphone, is because society demanded it. You can’t access many things without one.
My first and only smartphone is an iPhone 16, all the previous cellphones were cheap dumbphones for about $20. If possible, I prefer using email and a PC browser, because desktop computing is my natural habitat.
Phones suck. I have to pay a subscription for something that I don’t like using, and barely touch most weeks.
My Nexus 4. Great phone! I regret giving it away after I broke the screen for the second time by stupidity. It was light, fast and beautiful

My Nexus 6P with the finger print sensor on the back. It supported gestures on the fingerprint sensor too, so you could unlock it and then swipe up or down to do an action. I had down swipe as pull down the notification shade, so could check notifications without even touching the screen.
Yes I miss that feature too. Rear mounted sensor was much better than in screen, and I loved the gesture for scrolling
I also sometimes reminisce about my Nexus 6P, until I remember the battery being near dead by the time I took my lunch break at work
Yes my RAZR V3. It was not perfect but I loved it.
Alot … My lovely LG Optimus G ❤️ 😢
Not as old, but I miss using my Essentials PH-1. It had stock android instead of a carrier or maker version of android and some really cool features.
The add-on possibilities looked good, since it had two power pads on the back with a magnet, and wireless USB interface.
You could mag click on adapters to add hardware.
I had the 360 video camera add on, and the company folded before I had a chance to purchase the audio DAC headphone add on.
Still daily driving mine as a dedicated music/podcast player with Lineage OS 22.2. Only wish is longer battery life!
