What's the most visually appealing phone you've had so far?

Yeah. I saw. It's a potential hopeful that a Slim 2 is on the way. This would make my year. Given the success of this lineup, I feel positive about them following through. But it also means a Pocket 2 before a Slim 2 so we are going to wait for awhile.
I agree. I realise it is a niche market, keyboard phones, but there are still people out there that want them and they seem to be hooking into that market.
Their software isnt the best but I'm hoping in time it will become more refined along with the keyboards getting better with each iteration. BlackBerry had a lot more practice by the time of the passport and key devices so here's hoping at least one company will fill that gap left behind.

Personally I think the ZenPhone 9 series looked very sleek and cool - especially the in red colour choice.
Banana phone.

Pixel with GrapheneOS, for me, it's beautiful. No bloat, no Google.

This was my favorite phone I've ever had. All metal case, big front facing speakers, slim form factor. Apparently according to this article the processor was bad and the camera wasn't great but I didn't notice or care. I never bothered with Bluetooth speakers with this thing because it sounded great and it was waterproof. It also had a radio tuner built in that you could use with wired headphones acting as the antenna which I used a surprising amount when waiting in places with poor cell service and at least once trying to get weather updates during a bad storm. I wish more phones went with just weird features like this.

My old mate’s phone stuck with me for decades. Not sure if it’s pleasing but sure is something
Imagine typing a text message with that

Utter nightmare. It doesn’t even lit the available letters in the dark. It’s just bad

There is a solid Lineage (build) that is floating around that is regularly updated. Been too lazy to do up my phone but now I have incentive.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I loved my Nokia 7380 art deco phone. It had a screen hidden behind a mirror surface, a rotary dial instead of buttons and even a little fabric flap like a pair of jeans or something.
It was so widely different to anything else out there. I wish it still worked on contemporary wireless services, but alas.
It was a pain to text on but with voice messages becoming a thing, it didn't matter too, too much. I would probably go back if I could.

Loved my Lumia 920 back in the day. A phenomenal phone featuring a fun user experience with the Live Tiles. It was a great phone if you didn’t like apps.
Microsoft gave up too soon. Android was also shit at the start, it only became good around 4.0

I know there were a few custom ROMs that took advantage of some of the blackberry apps n such for the original Titan series of phones but j could never get the boot loader to unlock on my original titan so I was always stuck with what they supplied which was fairly lacklustre and was what ultimately pushed me away from the phone.

I absolutely loved the look and feel of the essential ph-1. The ceramic back felt great in the hand (the few times I dared carrying it without a case). The size was perfect for me, and I personally found the notch less distracting than the hole punch camera.

Nokia Lumia series. It is a shame that they did not sell
Ah the soap boxes

The Nokia "fashion" line had some interesting designs

Well, if you ever fancy another go, there is a Discord community that helps with such situations. That is how I am planning on de-Googling, once I stop being lazy.

My sister also had a Siemens M55, pretty fun phone at the time.

Dual slide helio ocean, t9 and hardware keyboard on different slide outs

And, yeah, I used to use one like that.
And you could knock a motherfucker out with one! Like in 12 Monkeys where Bruce Willis beats a pimp to death.

The discord community is where I was getting all my information from. I'm sure it has moved on a bit now as this was a few years ago and whilst I do still have the phone I'll probably wait to get the new one and then I'll play around.
Ive been running graphene the last 3 years now and I don't want to go back to google so once I get the titan 2 I'm going to try my best to get some form of Linux going on it. I fucking hate this touchscreen though so I can't wait!
