I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
I always liked the color.
Bring back sliders with full keyboards
Nit sure what it was called, but I’m pretty sure that not only it’s the last Qwerty keyboard phone i used, it’s also one of the last phone Nokia sold in my country.
This isn’t my hand but I had this lovely bastard:
I used to be able to chuck it down the stairs and everything.
A Samsung slider. I remember watching the Matrix the first time, and when that phone popped open to reveal the keypad it was mind-blowing. Getting a slider phone a few years later was so satisfying.
The phone in the movie was a Nokia. I believe it was the 7910, if memory serves me correctly.
The spring loaded slide wasn’t really a thing. I think one version of the phone had it in the production release, but it was limited to a very small geographical area… I think somewhere in Asia? I forget.
Everywhere else had the phone to some extent, minus the spring loaded sliding action. You just had up push the cover down.
Source: my best friend had one. After… I think, 3? Years of owning it, he was so fed up with its dumb quirks that I think he snapped the slider thing off… Which had the mic in it, so he got a new phone right after that.
EDIT: I was mistaken, it was the Nokia 7110.
Nokia n70. Still think about it sometimes, it was a great little phone.
I used Nokia N79. Nokia N series had some amazing phones.
