pic not related?

Xperia X1.

I use a prepaid flip phone. I have a fondness for feature phones.

Oh man, 7610 was so awesome! 6630 was also great looking, and a lot more powerful.

Sometimes I wonder how useful pic related is in 2017. Sure it has email, fb whatsapp and all that basic shit but what about navigation/gps and other useful non fart apps? It really looks good.

Op pic is fucking gay tho

>Back when cases used to be sexy

>literally Meshify C/Asus Strix motherboard tier polygon design

I loved this THICC phone
I used to WAP with it all the time
do you guys remember WAP?

i miss physical landscape qwerty more than my mom

Yea, in my country orange had this wap unlimited option for about 4 or 5 euros, you didn't had any traffic limit but you could use only some specific port (8089 if i remember)

Yeah. Reading news and weather on my phone during lunch break because no friends.

...

Web browsing is unfortunately just about the hardest thing to future proof, blame shitty web developers.

Like staring at a woman with bolt-on tits

I remember my friend playing Doom with one of these back in 2004. It was amazing.

You mean right now?

Modern phones only look good on promotional shots, and they're hard to use without hurting your hand.

Shut the fuck up you stupid faggot
Modern phone are sleek sexy and you fucking know it

Looks like absolute shit with no identity. Smartphone market is literally chink insects personified.

>sleek sexy
Don't piss yourself.

LG GW370

This is what I used to text my bitches in 2011

This right here. Who ever prefers those
oldoverdesign bullshit phones full of clutter is retarded and should just kill themselves desu

I don't like the new phones now.
>Non 16:9 screen ratio
>No capacitive buttons
>Less with 3.5mm jack

Phones are either too small or (most of the time) too big, it's easy to press things by mistake, they slip off my hand easily and it's impossible to not be covering a part of the screen without being uncomfortable. Not so bad while standing up but on bed it's horrible.

>inb4 lawl keep up with the times grandpa

I'm 20.

Try again, sweetie

>le wrong generation

>le wrong generation
>implying your shit chinkphones are even half as old as me

I had one, it was pretty good.

Who the fuck uses a phone older than 9 years?

A lot of people considering this board.

Also it's irrelevant since phones like OP were what I used growing up and they still are objectively more comfortable to hold and operate, even if typing is fucking slow and the software is obviously basically unusuable nowadays.

>take old phone
>replace battery with new one
>4 months of battery life without charging
How can smartphones even compete?

They can do stuff besides making calls.

Who the fuck makes calls anymore anyhow?

adults

Normal people

Java applications were not internet reliant most of the time, if they worked 10 years ago they work now. And things like Whatsapp and Facebook can be used on them.

if it's that big a hassle to charge your phone maybe you should kill yourself because there are much harder things in life

i had a touch diamond and it was the most gigantic POS i've ever endured using, windows mobile back then was painful

I think this was the peak of mobile devices.
Pretty, good ergonomics, and all the right hooks into the OS. Keyboard driven to the point where it is more gesture driven than current touch operating systems.

Move over Huawei fucking shit

i had a hand me down nokia 1616 since we were quite poor, i would use it normally and people would be amazed and every time my friend would see me they would ask me for my phone and would start playing with it, one time my friend threw it with full power in school and only speaker broke, i got it fixed and continued using it since i didn't really knew what was so different in smart phone and i had a pc anyway, eventually it's screen stopped working and i finally got a chink phone
mfw

I just want one of these with modern hardware goddamnit.

PINEAPPLE PHONE
I REPEAT
PINEAPPLE

eggplant works too though

>A lot of people considering this board.
lm fucking ao

My sister had a yellow one, actually did look like pineapple.

...

It's not landscape but just use a Blackberry.

thats actually a pretty cool design

>not landscape
That's my issue, it's too small.

Yeah, except the freakin hinge would break. I had the hinges give way on almost every flip phone that I had.

Implying this is not sexy af

Ladies, contain your orgasms.

A had two N90s. Never had any problem with the hinges. The only problem I had with this thing is that the cpu was too goddamn slow. It was almost impossible to work with.

A FUCKING GAMEBOY

>WAP
I remember when they were starting to support wap in my country. Even without data plan or prepaid money, I could still browse the internet if I kept refreshing the page. Good times checking internet with this boi.

>headphone jack on top
So close.

Landscape phones are the worst possible design.

This triggered my autism. Thx, OP.

i have seen people using dumbphones that are almost 20 years old. mostly old people that do not care as long as the thing works.

Anyone else have one of these back in the day?

Shit was comfy.

Go Go Power Rangers!

Weird considering the Priv had it at the bottom

that was something like iPhone X is today

PDA have always been sexier.

...

...

...

Funny how two screens felt excessive to me at the time, almost decadent.

you can get that gay blackberry with keyboard today or the keyboard for the galaxy s8 that is physical but you trade a third of your screen for it.

>whatsapp

I don't think so

i miss the voyager
i have the n95 8gb black still in my possession

TNG > TOS > DS9 >>> Voyager

>multipla phone

underrated

>play Block Breaker,
>close the phone,
>the game pauses,
>take a break as much time I want,
>could do anything (surf internet, play received Bluetooth videos photos and other files)
>open Block breaker again,
>the game resumes the exact moment you stopped playing
>could use it on a hard level or boss

oh yeah

All the fucking hipsters ITT... Old mobile phones and smartphone were a complete shit. Small screens, akward designs, no standards or normalization in ports and protocols, numpads that you almost never used to write numbers, shitty physical qwerty keyboards that were a pain in the ass to type on. And most importantly the OS were atrocious.
>b-but muh week long battery life
No shit! of course you will have a week long battery if you only use your phone for calls and a couple of sms per day.

Nostalgia fags need to fucking kys and stop LARPing about some imaginary golden age.

Nothing wrong with big touch screens, but I am so fucking bored of this curved soft edges aluminum unibody design that popularized the iphone 6(that apple stole from htc).

Big touchscreen phones can have original and different designs too.

I loved that design when it came out
In fact I got myself L760 because it was similar

We miss being kids/teenagers and not having to work or pay bills or worry about anything. How can you not see that's what's going on here?

I just wish the manufactures had a little more finesse and own style like they used to. Nowadays every flagship looks pretty much the same, only Sony differentiates itself from the crowd

HTC p3300.

Don't talk about your mum and sis that way.

...

...

Remember me?

M'sides

This thing is trying to hard to be a Gameboy Advance

no.
Why was the keyboard placed so high?

literal Operator phone

I still have one laying around somewhere. I modded the software so that I could install any software without it checking the certificate.

>be in healthy curves thread
>some niggers show up and start posting bimbos.

Really liked this one

This together with IPAQs on WM6.0 are still one of the best pieces of hardware ever released.
Shit started going downhills when capacitive touchscreens took over and we are now stuck in this mess we are in.

My nigg. I used to cum on that phone nightly 10 years ago

sup /spg/

>trissers
??

Symbian S60 3rd edition was supported by WhatsApp for a long time, one of the founders used a Nokia E71

I still use an old flip phone but I would love if in america we had the option japan/korea has where they have flip phones that also act as smart phones so you basically get both. I did hear the FCC recently approved of one by samsung.

ITT poor people, old people, people unwilling to learn modern tech, people stuck in the past, delusional people etc
