I could never master t9.

That would be great. Sometimes you just want a "phone". I would prefer to give that to my children than a full smart phone.

I had the droid Razr and it sucked. Screen broke twice was $285 parts only to fix (with me buying part from Asia)

lol, you feel old, when I was in college, we all had 5150 Nokias. That was the cool phone, ringtones had just come out and two years later I remember hearing about SMS and sending my first text once we figured out how to enable SMS. It's blows the younger kids minds that phones didn't always text.

Same way Nike brings Air Max 95s back every 5 years?

I think I was texting way back in 98 or 99 when I first started driving. Then a year or two later everyone and their mom was playing snake all day.
Didn't even have to look at the screen to text and drive back then

What's a flip phone and why did they misspell razor?

I want to say SMS came out in like 2001. It was new right before 9/11. That was the first event where everyone was texting people. I had a cell phone from my Junior year of high school on. In 1997 phones only had one line and it could only display the phone number you were dialing. My senior year in 1998 I remeber it being a huge deal that my new cell phone (a large nokia) had caller ID.
My Star-tac in 99 had caller ID and was the first "small" phone. I don't remember anyone having a screen that allowed texting until the 5150 in 2000-01.
The one on the far right.
Hell that phone was analog it was from Radiophone. Nola area throwback.

Startac was my first phone, Spring 2000. shite was bulletproof. Then the Nokia bricks came along, and they make the cock roach look vulnerable.

There is something about tactile buttons and T9 that most kids today don't understand.
I remember my parents refused to even try to text because they didn't know how to turn T9 off. I've got to admit, if you didn't realize T9 was the default setting, that SOB was hard as hell to comprehend.

My first phone was a rotary dial phone and my parents upgraded to the push button phone and ran a cord to my room with a splitter.
In school if we wanted to make a phone call we took a quarter, went to the pay phone, put quarter in, and dialed the number.
My first cell phone was one with a huge battery pack. Those were the days!

T9 was awesome. It worked great. Swipe is the best though, I can't even comprehend how people still tap the letters to text, takes forever.
T9 was like the swipe of it's day. Very fast and like other posters said, you knew where your hand was. It's like how you can control your tv in the dark, you just feel the buttons and know where they are. It was great how you just pressed each letter once for T9 instead of having to form the word letter by letter tapping the keys multiple times.
