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

    My first smartphone was the LG Optimus G. It had a textured pattern on the back that made my other phones look plain by comparison.

      HTC One M8, hands down no questions. Curved aluminium back, front facing stereo speakers. Fits the hand like a well tailored glove.

      There may be fancier looking phones out there, but nothing I've ever seen looked cooler.

        Iconic. That flip open/snap shut feeling. Insanely thin at the time.

          HTC Legend, the first smartphone I ever had. I still have several apps from it that I've kept carrying across. Comparing them with the stuff you can get now shows how bad apps and widgets have gotten. Anyhow, the phone design was really Nice.

                The original HTC Incredible. Comparatively speaking, it was a very modern looking phone. The back was the thing that people noticed. It had a weirdly shaped battery cover back. The physical interface was pretty great and it included an optical cursor or whatever you want to call it.

                ::: spoiler modern phone gripe

                It could be operated with one hand whether you've got big hands or small hands. I hate the fact that everything now is available only in phablet and bigger phablet.

                And without user swappable batteries. Ugh.

                  I wish the current Razr smartphone series was also a book foldable instead of only clamshell foldable 😞

                        I know it isnt the same form factor but the Titan 2 is coming soon with pre-production units being sent out to people already and estimated release in October.

                        I had the original titan and will probably get this to try it out but that also means a Titan Slim 2 is a possibility at some point. The key2 that the slim copies is the best phone I ever owned I think!

                        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.

                            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.

                              LG Chocolate! I had the white one. It did everything I needed, supported custom ringtones, had paid ring back tones (remember those?), played music, etc. The best thing was being able to text with one hand while not having to look at what you’re typing. Hopefully it’s not nostalgia affecting me with this phone, but it ran flawlessly for years before I eventually upgraded to a Motorola Droid back in the day.

                              I miss fun phones. I can either have a folding slab, a black slab, or a different slab that comes in other colours. 🥲

                                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.

                                      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.
