You know what else they’ve taken from us? Actually unique designs for phones. When I look at modern day smartphones, for some reason they look like clones of each other. Where’s all the spunk that these manufacturers used to put in their devices?
Fuck you, minimalism. Ever since you’ve ruined my iPhone back in 2013, my life has never been the same.
I miss the wild and crazy days of Nokia. My brother had the ngage, I even got this one feature phone where the dial pad flipped up and over the phone screen revealing a split qwerty fingerboard on either side of the screen (which then rotated to support typing in that form factor).
So many weird designs, some were complete flops, but others were really cool and should have caught on, but didn’t for some reason or another.

I think the fun stuff is all Chinese which doesn’t get marketed in the US. Someone in this thread linked the Unihertz Tank which seems crazy fun.
