I admit I often wish my phone had the design aesthetic of a PDA from two decades ago. Contoured to the hand, a real d-pad with buttons right on the front, no camera cutouts or rounded corners to block my view, root access right out of the box, headphone jack, multiple memory card slots (damn having an SD Plus card that folded into a thumb drive was convenient!), and a thriving freeware community with no microtransactions, a jog dial, a removable battery, and a case held together by tiny screws instead of glue. You could break a screen and the replacement cost forty bucks and took ten minutes with a screwdriver.
Christ, being able to stick it on a dock and hit one button to mirror your entire device onto your desktop was great.

- causi 4y agoThe only difference between my description and any flagship PDA is a modern SoC. https://phonedb.net/img/loox720.jpg https://phonedb.net/img/loox720.jpg
