Ah I had this, used it for years, and share your feelings. I really love interesting form factors, especially when they maintain practicality. There was a lot of interesting things back then, before the smartphone convergence, when electronics were still toys. I accidentally smashed the screen of my fancy phone (at the time) and on a whim I bought the cheap Nokia Twist as a replacement. Nearly two decades of touchscreens later and I still miss how tiny it was and how good it felt to slide open.

- yterdy 3y agoThe small, square gadgets not made by Apple were often underrated. The Twist looks like a better version of the Blackjack II I had as my last non-touchscreen phone. I'd like to have tried it! This is actually one of the things that makes me excited for AR (pending workable haptics). So many proofs-of-concept are just floating screens; what about functional digital fascimiles of our old gadgets? What about new ones with wild designs? What about modding the old, physical devices themselves to function as interfaces? In the meantime, it would be nice if this sudden resurgence of interest in older gadgets makes it easier to rehabilitate and maintain them.
