solition: bring back chunky flip phones Sony Ericsson z610 (2006)

Sony Ericsson K750 (2005) and yes, the shutter slides closed!

HTC Status (2011) The Facebook Phone! literally a typical Android phone with a Facebook button that brought up whatever you were looking at as a post. It was dumb but at least they were trying something

I-KIDS SF-001 (2006) the Mobile Phone Museum lists this under their "Ugliest" collection and they are completely wrong, this is sick

this wasn’t the only “ecophone” during the late ‘00s! Motorola Renew W233 (2009) Motorola claimed this to be the first “carbon neutral” phone. The manual was recycled paper and most of the ink was vegetable-based.

We fucked up by making phones ALL touchscreens, I cannot tell you how often I fuck something up because two touch buttons are too close together give me TACTILE BUTTONS NO I AM NOT A CRANK

Ericsson T39M (2001) the first consumer phone with Bluetooth!

Motorola Atrix 4G (2011) another in the “one phone, multiple screens” line. The laptop was run by the phone and a Linux variant. The dock (last photo) allowed you to connect keyboards and monitors for that Linux variant.

Asus PadFone (2012) i REALLY wish this concept took off. A singular device that powers various form factors was such a cool idea
