Boomer moment: I'm 30 but never got used to the feeling of modern smartphones against out ears. It's terrible and I can never hear or be heard well enough. It's to a point where I always answer in speakerphone or with headphones, facilitated by not answering the phone often. Recently I've been wishing to get an old phone-like accessory for my smartphone so I could do calls in a comfortable way.

... Then again, during covid I learned to answer phones around the lab on speakerphone, too, and these were classic-style phones. So maybe I'm a lost cause

Edit: old cellphones were fine, it's just smartphones that have the worst possible shape and texture to hold them against my ear. Sadly, my parents still see that as the primary use for a phone.

Yeah to me it's weird that phones are flat slabs now. That whole concept would have looked stupid in the 80s or even the 90s.

Its cause they're all pocket computers that just happen to be a phone too.

Even this phone only mobile phone from punkt still has that form factor so it can fit in your pocket.

Exactly, I say modern cell phones are "phones" like those colored plastic data slabs on original Star Trek were "tapes".
