I absolutely LOVED my LG EnV... I spent hours playing Megaman 1 and 2 that were somehow ported to it at work and in school lol

A bunch of my friends had those Sidekicks... and of course Blackberries were king for a few years before Iphone came out

I had the EnV and Env2

Oh man those were the best. Take me back.
 
I remember ads for those being everywhere, but I never knew anyone that actually had one
It's the first phone that came to mind but I had a few LG flips that were cool too.

Both were weird, one had an odd type of outer display and the other had a camera that rotated front to back.

I've learned that I like a strange/fun phone and LG was good at making them for a long time.

Always wanted that matrix phone though.
 
I had this fancy pants special edition red Nextel chirp flip phone back in the early 2000's, it had a bunch of red lights inside and would glow real bright when you were talking on it, used to get a lot of attention in the bars and clubs, it was a simpler time

It was a Swiss Army knife special edition so it came with this tiny little fold out knife with all kinds of gimmicks and gadgets attached to it

Of course it came with a belt holster.
 
I feel like I had a razr. Some friends had sidekicks, which are probably the best from back then, but I never really liked them for some reason. I mean shit I was pretty young when the OG iPhone came out and I’ve had one of those since the first one
