why are pre-smartphone phones so much more aesthetic than current phones?
i really am thinking about switching back, but internet on the go and snapchat are keeping me from doing it. but they look so much better
>tfw no flip phone with apps
look at this shit. how can you try and say this doesn't look way better than an ugly flat rectangle
>giving up all functionality because "aesthetics"
Congrats, you'll feel right at home here.
>>9700627
why can't we have both though? imagine having something like this with apps. It'd be fucking awesome
>>9700588
Shit like this was ahead of it's time at one point. A lot of shit that was considered ahead of it's time comes back into play one day.Shit like this, that was considered weird at one point, and had buttons/physical keyboards I can't see ever coming back into play.

If you want feature phones move to Japan
I must have had 15+ nokia phones, I've had two smart phones, why are they so shit?
>>9700953
first matrix phone was cooler
These all look like shit, are shit, and have horrible design. Phones have changed for a reason
>>9701001
Hurr durr minimalism
Muh menswear!
Sneakers are for boys!
Real man have class, swage is for boys!!!

I want a small flip phone that would allow me to still use instagram etc
either that or a classic blackberry looking phone that has instagram
I've searched and come up with nothing. Why is instagram not supported on blackberry OS?
>>9701033
>>9701033
that's one i remember, but that's not it.
I found them
It was a whole like of phones by this brand named "Siemens" the line was called Xelibri
I use this
I like it a lot and there aren't two of the same because of the bamboo cover
It really pops out since I use a mostly monochrome wardrobe

apple isnt worth 740 billion for nothing
I don't understand /fa/'s fascination with old shit. According to you shitheads only old cars are /fa/ (thinly veiled excuse for not being able to buy a new one in most cases), laptops that look like they are from 2001 are the only /fa/ tech and now you want those horrible flip phones that were a pain in the ass to do anything except calling with them. I guess my grandma is /fa/ then.
Things change for a reason and I believe phones and most tech have changed for the better.
>>9701095
>that were a pain in the ass to do anything except calling with them
as opposed to modern day phones which are great for dicking around with apps but shit at calling?
Idk man I wouldn't give mine up because I'm a pleb who can't live without a gps but I see where some of the appeal is.
>>9701101
waaahhhh apple makes money and im mad that i use a windows phone like a literal fucking autist
>>9701101
nokia and blackberry didnt lose 80% of their market caps for nothing
>>9701043
im sure blackberry has an instgram app, they actually are on a healthy upswing
>>9701121
>wahhh i'm mad because i spent 800$ on a mediocre smartphone that doesn't make me special or interesting because every middle class american and their granddaughter has one
always found this one pretty cool
tried buying a flip phone off eBay two years ago and it got lost in the mail. that new windows candy bar for like africa is awesome though. just give me a candy bar with apps and I'm good.

>tfw orangutang looking tongan cunt stole my samsung slide phone
I want to fuck that cunt up. Phone was fucking awesome. But srsly black and metallic slidephones were GOAT.
>>9700966
Ooooft top tier. My mum had the silver colour of this phone, might ask her if she still has it. I was literally just thinking about this phone.
>>9701033
>why do you have that phone anon? are you poor?
>>9701075
Hey look it's a digivice.

butthurt nigger detected
But seriously fix that grammar nigger, your ebonics are going through the roof.
I use this for calling and texting, fucking awesome. Battery life goes for like 9 days with one full charge. And i have a smartphone for apps and music.
>>9702019
calm down grandpa, i'm white
>>9700588
Pretty much anything, that Vertu makes look /fa/.
>>9701206
omg I had a silver cybershot ericsson a few years ago. My last non-smartphone, was great except the slide-y camera thing got sand and shit in it bc I was 16 and rough w stuff.
>>9700588
Lenovo makes the A588T, just sayin
>>9702403
ayyyy
If Nokia stayed on top with their fashionable gadgets, this will probably what phones already look like today.
>>9700966
When my auntie was 18 her boyfriend had this phone, we're looking at around 1999 probably, and you've just given me a bunch of great memories, thank you, friend.
I definitely miss how varied phone designs were. I love my smartphone, but its a damn shame how they all end up looking the same.
>>9702694
>Nokia 8800
>Availability 2005
>we're looking at around 1999
You probably meant the Nokia 8810 or 8850. Looks cool as well.
>>9700627
>functionality
Aside from the government tracking your whole life without hassle, smartphones aren't functional. Low battery life, break easily and surfing the web distracts you from more important work.
>>9702099
>one phone for apps/music
>one for calling
Are you a drug dealer?
Is this a new aesthetic ?
>>9702749
>smartphones aren't functional
>implying I don't have productivity apps that lets me do more
>>9700997
based nokia banana
>>9702764
What kind of productivity? All I see is people wasting their time on shitty social networks circle jerking each other, or killing time playing shitty "press x to win" games. To-do lists, email, alarm clock, even mid-2000 phone can do that, without distracting you from real life business.
Is my phone /fa/
people always laugh at it when they see it.
I never spent a dollar to buy a phone.
>>9702099
I've thought about getting one of these again.
>>9702801
I use apps like Evernote, MyFitnessPal. I will also use apps wherein it lets me track my goals. My phone also lets me take better pictures than a camera from mid-2000s. It's important for me because I enjoy street photography as a hobby and I don't have to bring my DSLR.
I used to play games on an iPad but I got tired of playing them anymore. I would much rather play PC games.
Life without a smart phone would suck tbh
>having to write down directions everytime you somewhere new
>no camera at all times
>no easy instant acces to Internet resources
Bruh life is harder than Pokemon already. Tryna live without a pokedex. That just isn't right
>>9702729
Fuck I wasn't looking properly, you're right it was the 8810.
>>9702682
looks like a futuristic zippo
>>9700588
hey now
Blackberry :)
>>9700588
yes we all get that you listen to yung lean
now fuck off you behind the curve faggot
My uni still has these posters up, at least 3 of them in quite a dark little area

>>9702970
You look hot in the reflection.
>>9702980
Cheers fam
Just copped one of these. But it actually is a smartphone.
GOAT
>>9703006
classic
do wish smartphones werent just plain rectangles of black, but the tiny screens on most of these put me off 100000%
Dude you have the Samsung Galaxy Golden,
The flip phone smart phone.

>>9703093
what are they
>>9702846
also, the internet can be pretty fucking productive if you can stop with the social mediuh sucks xDxD tiptiptip mlady
Had a Nokia 6300 last summer when I travelled but kept my smartphone with WiFi for apps and internet access. It held a charge for two weeks and was just incredibly convenient. I have an unlocked smartphone now so it shouldn't be a problem but part of me wants to use the 6300 again
I had forgotten how frustrating T9 is.
>>9703093
nokia 515 i think
phones i had prolly left some out
the samsung is actually the thinnest phone eva, dunno if it still holds the record tho.
k800i is masterrace, best phone ever built.
I have a Nokia 208 and a Galaxy S3. Both take the same sim and my 32 gig micro SD. I use them interchangeably, especially when my smartphone becomes too much of a distraction (post grad student).
>>9700588
>gimping yourself to embrace a trend from the era of "10 Things I Hate About You" and 9/11
I can't imagine explaining this to anyone with a brain or a colleague.
So good, yet so unreliable.
>>9702756
Aesthetic is timeless. If your liking for something comes and goes, it's a trend and you are a trendhopper.
>>9703137
you are so right.
I had a k770i and it was the tits.
Let me do a phones I had image to go with this.
>>9703228
These are the ones I remember, probably had some others in between as replacement phones.
My favourite will always be the k770i, but the super low-end Moto E I have now is so good that I will buy the new gen Moto E as soon as this one dies (let's hope that it lasts at least 3 years).
>>9702809
I used that phone, until it was doused with water.
I loved this phone.
>>9701033
Used to have this when I was a teenager
>>9702993
tiny screen and ugly as fuck ui
>>9702755
no im not, im just a music addict, so i listen to a lot of music so my battery dies, also apps. With the second phone problem solved.
>Come at me bro
<-- my first phone
>>9701156
yeah that one looked real professional
>>9701061
>by this brand named "Siemens"
you've never heard of siemens? shit nigga
>>9703006
3210 was so much cooler though
I wish I still had mine
Alias master race
I had this and then the 2nd one until the iphone 4 was out for a year I had an alias 2.
>>9703906
Forgot pic
>>9703913
that's some high tech rich boy shit
I remember a friend in school having a palm PDA for some reason, he didn't even really use it for anything except for showing off
>>9703922
I also had a palm pilot in 6th grade lmao. I'm an only child.
>>9703913
This was and still is my favorite phone. I ditched it to get a smart phone and wanted to go back ever since.
>>9703933
Yep, I've thought about getting a little tablet and going back to it. But all 4 of my zunes broke so I need xbox music. If my 4 zunes weren't all smashed I'd go back to the life I lead in hs. Alias and an 80gb zune.
>>9703607
That actually sounds like a great idea for when drinking or traveling.
If you end up fucking around too much on your iphone just use the burner to get home.
Ofc. you could also carry one of those external batteries, now that I think about it.
>>9703986
daily reminder that v0 is transparent
No such thing as a non smart /fa phone
This isn't 2010 anymore
