    Ah, I miss flip phones. If I wasn’t totally hooked on my little screen box I would go back.

      Yeah, I was an early adoptor, had a phone with a flip down bit and an aerial to pull up. I thought it was cool as fuck but in retrospect it was probably big enough to fight off a bear with.

      I feel like the flip phone should be an accessory to the screen box. It’s a superior device to chatting and hanging up, just make it Bluetooth and snap into the back of the phone.

        If we ever see AR or implants overtake touch screens (unlikely imo because typing in AR fucking sucks) then I hope flips come back just for the talking part.

      I had a little silver one, apparently marketed to the ladies as it had a little mirror. But flip phones were completely Star Trek TOS - Scotty, one to beam up.
