The Experimental Phones of the 2000s...

Lets be real, many of you clicked for the thumbnail

I remember seeing a windows mobile device back when I was still in school. someone working for like comcast of adalphia had one when they cam to hook up my dad's internet

The nostalgia is real! These classic phones bring back so many memories. 📞✨

Desktops still looks largely the same as that image, speakers, monitor, keyboard, mouse, tower. Laptops already existed and aren't didn't replace the desktop format. The Nokia 3110 didn't look like a business brick and the Motorola Startac came in a Rainbow edition that was very colorful.

I can’t remember exactly what it was called but I had a Samsung dual sided phone. It had a standard bar phone with led screen on the front and a decently sized screen and mp3 player format on the back and I wanna say it also had a slide out keyboard. I can’t remember anymore. Had that thing for years and I used to watch old rips of subbed anime in Spanish since they were free on some fan sites.

I was a 2000s phone enthusiast and can add a few unusual ones off the top of my head:
- pretty much all of the Nokia N-series had some form factor gimmick going for them. The N90's swivelling sections that turned into a camcorder, the N91 with the sliding faceplate that revealed tiny buttons that you could only press with one inch-long thumbnails, the N92 that could flip on both axes and had a tv tuner built into it, the N95 with its double-sliding
- the Nokia 3250 brick with the redundant keypad swivel that had media buttons on the other side. Remember when phones had dedicated hard buttons for media
- the Nokia 3220 with "wave messaging" that was supposed to allow you to broadcoast messages in the air
- the Motorola Z8 RIZR slide phone that angled the keypad towards you so it turned into a banana
- the Motorola MOTOFONE F3 with the electronic paper display that could only display 6 characters at a time but could go two weeks on a single charge

damn the past was inefficient and fun

In the early 2000s I had an HTC phone that ran windows mobile. It had a decent size screen and a slide out keyboard. I can't remember what it was called. I loved it though.

Before you took a floating phone from the background I thought it was a CG phone haha

wait i genuinely want the sony gaming phone so bad that is so cool whattt

Xperia play what real gaming phone must be

My weirdest phone was a Motorola v100. A clamshell phone with a black and white display in horizontal configuration inspired by the colorfull Apple laptops of the early 2000's. What I didn't realise when I bought it, is that the ONLY way to speak into it was via the plug-in headset! It came with a transparent case that could be fit onto a belt and many people thought I was carrying some subscription medicine in a box on my belt.

I miss the full keyboard on my blackberry. Getting groomed online will never be the same.

My phone is a tin can with sting attached to it. Not so smart now are you?

I had an LG Keybo!! It was like a mini laptop!

This is boring. You have no personality.

If you had sprint in 08-09 they came out with an ‘eco friendly’ phone that was made from 70% corn and was bright green

I'm late but super love your vid! Very nostalgic in a great way!

I was born in 88, and in the many years since I have seen the rise of phones as something everyone has. I've seen them change from massive plastic bricks to pocket-sized computers. And I truly lament just how wild and out-there they could get. Now, there's just no soul to them. They're just...products :(

I've actually had a charger on top of my phone not that long ago. Around 2020 or something. Looking back, it was weird, but also really useful. There's still some uniqueness in the "cheap phones" market, but yeah, nothing like it used to be.

Another pretty common thing with cheaper phones is that you can get ones which are made to be harder to break. That's a useful gimmick for people who like going outside, though it also makes the phone a bit fat and it sacrifices aesthetic quite a lot.

OK BUT WHO OUT HERE IS SHIPPING SONIC AND RAINBOW DASH?! THATS 20% LESS COOLER THAN... WELL... EVERYTHING!!!!

If you would like a modern version of the Vaio check into GPD Win. They got ones much like it but way better. Something I do miss is the wacky everything. Everything was much more fun and colorful and unique. Now it's the same bland stuff. Everything looks the same, architecture, phones, apps, operating systems. No company is trying to make something stand out instead opting for the same formula as it sells. These companies are so big that they could release some wacky things. But the infinite profit seems to be more important.

I had a more recent gimmick phone, called the Moto Z. it was a phone that had a connector on the back for "moto mods" we had a speaker attachment, a digital camera attachment, built in battery pack attachment, and fun panels. there also was a projector attachment but it was kinda spendy. honestly a fun phone, it just got outdated

nokia N95, 6600 were the two best phones. I have had nokia 7600 and T mobile sidekick. I miss sidekick, so many memories lol

the second my cheap phone dies i think i know what im gonna buy (some sort of cool swag phone)

Nokia 3650 keyboard was funny but the phone was AMAZING! I loved mine, specially when I discovered I could... record videos (yeah, first one ever capable of that).

Another GREAT phone was Sony Xperia x10 mini pro, which had the best of both worlds: small and compact as a regular cell phone, with a sliding qwerty and a touch screen. Best smartphone I ever had.

What an absolute pointless video

phones like the LG G5 had modular bottom which you could remove and make other devices out of the phone.

say pocket pc 5 times fast... k you done? congrats you just said pocket pussy in a french accent 👍

Rainbow dash on thumbnail - I click

At The Background has a Phone is Flying

I always wanted the Motorola pebble one

I still miss my moto rizr z3 to this day

You just made me watch the whole video. Thats rare bro, u earned a sub from me.

Ok the editing here is awesome! Phonecopter had me rolling.

This is what you voted for. You let apple dictate how all phones were going to look. I played no part in that. I didn't get the iphone.

lol i love how u put a scene girl as the 2000s new hair XD

I think we should all carry small pineapples and call them Tom.

you look like the guy from scrubs

I still have a couple of old phones, I got a Nokia 6030 and N95

i like old phones

What? See em ins?

I just realized that the iPhones today are technology’s version of brutalist architecture. They stopped creating phones with shape, uniqueness, and color and prioritized functionality instead.

when i was a kid it was my dream to own a moto razr. now i am an adult and still cannot afford the new razr especially given how early flip screens are currently

So we are just gonna ignore that thumbnail?

You gotta love it 2000s had a charm unlike nothing else

I liked the LG, my first phone. It slid u, I thought it was so cool. Then I went to high school and my friend showed me the slide, it slide the whole screen and had keyboard underneath. Idk the name but it was Verizon and purple. I broke like 5, pretty delicate. The LG was sturdy

why of all things did you make that the thumbnail
