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

Personally I think the ZenPhone 9 series looked very sleek and cool - especially the in red colour choice.
Adding to this again.
Ericsson T28/T39.

Nokia Lumia series. It is a shame that they did not sell
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.

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.

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.

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.
