    Motorola Motorola Motorola... Can't wait to see them back on top! ☺️
  • I MISS USING FLIP PHONES IN THE 2000S NOW EVERYONE IS USING SMARTPHONES IN THE DIGITAL AGE OF TECHNOLOGY
  • This video just threw me back in time. Had the first two. Just have an overwhelming want of wanting to use a flip phone again!!
  • Is it a surprise that even today I'm still looking forward to own a flip phone? Because I am.. and it's simple
  • @zentierra7803
    My very first "portable" phone was a Motorola Startac, and my second was the Razr (back then we actually hung on to phones for years )...good memories. And I wish they made good flip phones today! Not everyone wants a so-called "smartphone". Right now I use an Alcatel flip phone, because there are just very limited choices for flips in the US, though I'm hoping that with the current desire building up for "detox" phones, more and better flip phones become a thing again.
  • I still have several of my old Startac's. They are very satisfying to fiddle around with, open, close, open, close, you get the picture.

  • @moliza1330
    Flip phones were so aesthetic and adorable
  • I got my first phone when I was 8 in 2011, it was my father's old Nokia phone with a retro pixelated digital screen. It was only designed for calling. I got it as a substitute for the telephone which we had disposed of at the same time

    This was my first very own phone! I miss it so much! :)

    My favourite flip phone of all time is the LG Shine (Flip), that thing was beautiful. I remember the RAZR being so cool, but then the LG Chocolate came along and I forgot all about the RAZR lol.
  • PhoneArena - I had the RAZOR flip phone and used that successfully for ten years - sigh, would be nice if phones could still be in service that long today. I remember saving for that and got the pink/purple model...hmm, which was pretty much the deciding factor for me back then. How things change, eh?Fun video, thank you.
  • @ThuggyMacho
    Where are ya getting the Razr v3 from? I've been trying to find it everywhereeee
  • I have two nominations; the Sanyo SCP-5300 and the follow-up SCP-5500. Both phones were from an era when someone making or receiving a phone call in public was still something of a showstopper. I brought my SCP-5300 to work and took photos of co-workers to show them. I think that this would have been late-2002. The novelty of taking pictures with a phone was something new and pretty wonderful. The SCP-5500 remains my favorite phone. The selling point of the 5500 was in being able to record and send 15 second videos to loved ones and friends. I still remember how utterly cool that was. A good selection of the photos and videos taken on the SCP-5500 in the early-2000s yet survive since I had uploaded them to Sprint's website then to my computer. Yeah, they're somewhat grainy and crude but each is a precious artifact recalling simpler and, for me, better times. The SCP-5500 was my last flip phone and I still have it. It can hold a charge for three days or more and contains original photos and videos which were on the device when it was decommissioned on Saturday, December 4, 2004 when I bought a Palm Treo 650. As I stated earlier, simpler and better times.
