i'd use that tmobile one it looks comfortable to use. Plus the visuals just look funBelaneura wrote: Tue Dec 23, 2025 4:08 pmPeople keep mentioning the phones. I strongly agree here, specifically their software/visual layout. I've been dying to get my hands on a functioning Sony Ericsson or what have you (I've unsuccessfully tried multiple times to revive the one that was given to me as a kid, which I did nothing with but write dumb notes and take pictures of whatever ancient version of Minecraft I was playing at the time.) Maybe it's just me liking to decorate tiny, cramped little spaces, but to me that almost transitional-to-smartphones look on a tiny screen feels so personal and comfortable. Also, the way they slid and the way the buttons felt was much more pleasant than constantly dirtying up a screen with your fingers lol
By extension, I miss blackberries. All my family members had these fucking things when I was a kid, but I never see them anymore. Honestly? I'd use one as my personal phone if I could.
Only one of these is a blackberry, but all of them are good to me for the same reasons

My mom used to own a white HTC cellphone that otherwise looked and functioned like a Blackberry with the physical QWERTY keyboard on it and all in the early - mid 2010s (I remember her taking me to AT&T one afternoon in 2013 to replace it, though, which is a shame because of how cool it was).scarfysquared wrote: Wed Dec 24, 2025 12:55 ami'd use that tmobile one it looks comfortable to use.

And I'd do anything to be able to own a T-Mobile Sidekick. I'd be one of the coolest people in the world if I did (if only 2G and 3G networks didn't already unfortunately shut down here in the US).
