I had a Samsung Alias for a while, which was a genuinely cool phone. It could flip open either vertically (in the normal RAZR style) or it could be flipped open horizontally. The keypad had e-ink displays in each key, and if you had it open vertically, it would display a number pad for dialing. If it was open horizontally, you got a full keyboard instead. I could text faster than all my friends. I also had a Motorola Hint, which was a neat little device - smaller than your average phone at the time, and almost square. You could slide out a little keyboard. Keyboard phones were neat. Bring em back I say!
