Nextbit Robin (2016) this is still one of my favorite phone designs. It's beautiful.

Two views of the phone. The left is the back, which is mostly gray with a strip of a light teal at the top and bottom. The right is the front, with a standard touchscreen with the top and bottom being the same teal.

Samsung P110V (2007) ok, buckle in for this one

A flip phone of absurd shape. The bottom half is normally shaped, but the top left curves instead of being rectangular. There's a hinge on the the left side that connects to a circular hinge in the middle of the front. This one is various shades of bright pink

solition: bring back chunky flip phones Sony Ericsson z610 (2006)

3 versions of the same phone. One is closed and black, lying on it’s back. One is closed and pink, lying sideways, and one is partially opened and blue, standing upright. They have a small screen on the front that blends in to the rest of the shiny metallic finish, so you just see the LED lit time, battery, and signal indicators

Sony Ericsson K750 (2005) and yes, the shutter slides closed!

the front and back view of a candybar style phone. The front has traditional number keys, directional buttons, answer and disconnect, and menu buttons with a small screen at the top. The back looks like an old digital camera. The camera has a sliding shutter that closes to protect the lens.

HTC Status (2011) The Facebook Phone! literally a typical Android phone with a Facebook button that brought up whatever you were looking at as a post. It was dumb but at least they were trying something

I-KIDS SF-001 (2006) the Mobile Phone Museum lists this under their "Ugliest" collection and they are completely wrong, this is sick

A phone with a small screen. The front is a dark blue, the back is a light blue. There are only 5 number buttons (0 through 4), a menu/connect button and a power/disconnect button. The shape of the phone is almost like an 8 with it being thin in the middle and curving out. There are two antennas sticking out at the top to look like bunny ears

this wasn’t the only “ecophone” during the late ‘00s! Motorola Renew W233 (2009) Motorola claimed this to be the first “carbon neutral” phone. The manual was recycled paper and most of the ink was vegetable-based.

LG Rumor (2007) i want a slide out keyboard so bad. also WE USED TO MAKE PHONES IN COOL COLORS

A slider phone. The front has a small screen, directional pad, menu buttons, and numeric keyboard. The bottom slides out perpendicular to the number keys to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. This one is a light green front with silver buttons.

the same phone as before, but the front is an electric blue

Since it’s Spotify Wrapped Day, lets talk phones switching to mp3 players! The first phone with mp3 capabilities: Samsung SPH-M100 (2000) it could hold roughly 7-10 songs!

a candybar style phone with a plastic cover that flips to cover the keys. A small screen on top. It’s mostly silver, the number buttons, directional buttons, menu buttons, and media control are all black.

the same phone as the prior image but with the plastic cover closed. the screen is still visible. The cover says “SAMSUNG MP3 Mobile Multimedia”

LG Lotus (2008) it also came in black if you were a boring person

A flip phone but it is square in shape and has a full QWERTY keyboard. The screen on the outside also has Play/Pause, Forward, and Back buttons and a camera. The outside and some of the keys are purple with a floral pattern

Motorola Atrix 4G (2011) another in the “one phone, multiple screens” line. The laptop was run by the phone and a Linux variant. The dock (last photo) allowed you to connect keyboards and monitors for that Linux variant.
