I was an iPhone user for most of 12 years. None of them.
The xperia play was such a cool phone. I had a few pre-Android Sony phones that were great too. We don't really get fun designs anymore which sucks.

I miss the HTC Hero, and my ancient Motorola Razr.
every day, then I remember how little features they have and I stop reminiscing. I think if I was to go back, it would just be a landline and I wouldn't bother with anything prior to smart phones. The only redeeming factor about early cellphones was the slide, I would love a current day model with a slide on it.
I loved my Samsung Droid. It was so easy to mod.
The samsung fliphone. I actually played some awesome games on it as well, and the ringtunes were so good, made my childhood.
I miss my old Motorola flip phone (way before the razor) grey little thing with a removable battery & an antenna you extended... fit perfectly in small pockets that jeans back then liked to have randomly on the side.
I loved opening flip phones with a flick of the wrist, and the physical action of ending a call by closing it.
The awful heft and size of the company-issue Samsung A25 makes me think about just how damn light the Nokia 8210 was. Life was then simple: enjoy life away from the keyboard, never distracted, and only text or call when it is really needed.
After the 8210 came Sony's K750, which had firsts for me: it can play music, and it can also take pretty pictures. My beef with it was the charger and earphone connector, and the not-so-responsive camera button.
The Kyocera Torque.
You know how sometimes you just want to throw your phone through some drywall? If I could get original indestructible model with new guts it wouldn’t even be a question.
The Nokia 3310. It made phone calls, snake was installed by default, and it was built like a rock! You could use it to stun a raccoon at 43 paces, then make a call while playing snake.
I just thought about my old phone. Got a new one in May, andjust before I left for a long trip a few weeks ago I loaded it with a few movies. During the trip I realised that the new phone didn't have a headphone jack anymore, so I couldn't watch anything. It made me irrationally angry.
Alot ... My lovely LG Optimus G ❤️ 😢
Rip helio ocean, dual slider t9 and keyboard
I remember getting my Nokia 8210, one of the smallest phones ever, you didn't need to buy a bag or bring a jacket just to carry the phone around... Incredible concept
J5 Prime. iPhone 6. good times
Nooooo, because that would be weird. Like reminiscing on an old pair of pants I used to wear or something. Your stuff isn't your friends
