- Bender 8mo agoThose were nice. They were the very updated alternative to the Sidekick from Flextronics but still called a Sidekick from Motorola around 2006 or 2007 I think. I wanted one but they were recalled in my area because of some hardware bug so I was stuck with a flip phone.
- silisili 8mo agoI may be the only one who actually bought and liked the Moto Backflip. I wish a design like that would make a comeback.
- bandofthehawk 8mo agoI still have my original Motorola Droid, I would buy one in a second if they came out with a modern version.
- MrMember 8mo agoI loved the design of the original Droid. Slide out horizontal keyboard, built like a tank, easily accessible removable and replaceable battery. The specs on modern phones are light years better but design wise they're way behind what we used to have.
- terribleperson 8mo agoThe original Droid was accidentally good. A fresh droid has a smooth, flat keyboard that doesn't make for a great typing experience. After a while, though, the keys on the keyboard swell and bulge out. Not the keyboard itself, but the keys. Might have been moisture, or oils, or heat, but it was a very noticeable effect. I owned at least 3 droid A855s, and it was a repeatable effect. Despite the keyboard texture being an accident, to this day I consider it one of the best smartphones ever designed.
