The original iPhone was revolutionary at the time

And it was a status symbol, people would come up and ask “is.. is that the iPhone??” And would ask to
Hold it

Was a big fan and The Passport was the pinnacle for BB. Long after most had given up on the brand this beast was created.

Treo 750 (though the 650 and Pro were pretty much equal competitors)

1) stylus in the phone. But you rarely needed it
2) full keyboard
3) all day and then some battery life
4) removable battery that was easily replaceable
5) charging cradle and sync’d with Outlook for contact management (mine charged a spare battery- at some point I had a charging port that quit working well. Every few days it would not charge. It was a non issue because I kept the spare)
6) removable storage in a time where this was a real premium
7) App Store with new apps written for the phone

This little Motorola was amazing. Very small & you could add an extender antenna to it.

Galaxy S9+ was great, currently have a S22. When the S9 came out is when I realized I no longer need to upgrade every 2 years.

First Motorola Droid. Thing was a tank. All aluminum. Slim and pocket size.

Close second was the blackberry. Their OS was intuitive.

I miss a real keyboard and a narrower smaller phone.



Docking station turned it into a clock with the weather on the screen.

I suppose the major issue is space, the keyboard on a touch screen is there when you need it and not when you don't and the space can be used for any number of other things. Add to that the demographic that drives new smart phones probably has a very small cadre of people who actually used and like a full keyboard. While I said I missed them and I do but at this point it is mainly nostalgia since after ~15 years of touchscreen keyboards I am used to them and would probably prefer them to a Blackberry keyboard at this point.

Man I really miss the way old phones had diverse designs and features. Now they are all rectangles with touch screens.
