a few “out of style” (aka not just slim featureless black rectangles) cell phones from ebay that have design elements I still really love
#motorola flipout my beloved.....#I actually really like physical keyboards - but I find I liked them a lot more when I had long nails#anyway.. i like chunky rounded designs with interesting shapes or colors#and at least SOME physical buttons being present (one of my aunts recently got that new new iphone that doesn't even have a 'home' button#you're just like.. supposed to swipe near the bottom of the screen or something .. how ridiculous honestly like.. what is the point#it makes it LESS intuitive and it's not like it adds anything.. having even a tiny button down there isn't a severe incovenince and doesn't#like drastically modify the design really.. it's just taking away features for the sake of taking them away hjhj)#I know none of these would be good for Watching Netflix on or whatever people do with their phones but THATS a thing as well#I hate everything moving towards mobile - all websites abandoning their desktop versions for over-simplified homogenous#blank white algorithm sorted content zones with super simple buttons and extreme lack of detail/all actual information#hidden away and as simplified as possible for Mobile Browsing#MESSAGING systems all increasingly being more 'text' / chat-like 'press enter to send' type formats instead of suited for#long form paragraph style communication etc. etc.#AND I WOULDNT MIND if they CO-EXISTED like.. SURE have people CHOOSE which version of a wbsite they want to use#or which features they have or don't have or how their messaging is laid out or etc. but give us the CHOICE#it's the lack of control and agency and everything being forced onto us that bothers me - especially details and customization and being abl#e to curate your own experience or decide what things look like or settings and features and etc. being removed#Honestly I like phones as a means for calling people and texting - and then things that are useful while you're out of the house#(being able to pull up a map if you're lost - having a basic internet broser to search things quickly if you need - being able to check#maessges or social media if you need to - etc. etc. ) BUT ultimately I just can't ever see them as a full on suitable form of#entertainment - like spending hours browsing apps and playing mobile games and watching all of my videos on there or etc.#it's such a terrible and annoying layout for me etc. etc.#I would love to just have a funky cool looking chunky bright colored little square cell phone with basic functonality (calls - texts- intern#et access- a few apps that are useful when out of the house/on the go) but then everything else I do solely on a desktop computer#or laptop or something. I miss when cell phones were just like 'something important to have when you're on the go so people can still reach#you (better than a housephone) and you can look up things on the internet if needed and also maybe you have tetris#built in on there and an app that tells you the weather' and not like full on all-in-one staples that many peoples entire daily lives and#complete source of entertainment and leisure revolves around and evrything is an app and everything is a simple little icon and everyhing#is chosen for you AND tetris doesn't even come for free on the thing anymore but a shitty facebook app you can disable but not delete does#ANYWAY gjhjh this will always bother me I try not to even let myself ramble about it I JUST wanted to show some cool Images.. lov these
