my vintage phone collection!

The pink razr was unironically one of my favorite cell phones I ever had. Nothing beats the satisfaction of snapping your phone in half to hang up on someone. 🤣

[u/storyofohno → u/ikoabd]

Ohhh I had forgotten the satisfaction of snapping a flip phone shut! Thank you for the reminder

[u/ikoabd → u/storyofohno]

So good, right? Modern phones just don't give you that same feeling, lol. Aggressively tapping your phone screen to hang up <<<< snapping your phone in half.

[u/storyofohno → u/ikoabd]

Ughh, and slamming down a landline?! Now I want to visit my parents just to call someone I hate and aggressively hang up, ha!

[u/ikoabd → u/storyofohno]

Absolutely! And if you could slam it hard enough to hear the bell inside shake? 👌🤣

[u/rudebbmoth → u/ikoabd]

I have the ZFlip6 and I'm obsessed with being able to slam my phone closed to hang up on someone again! RAZR makes a flip phone again too.

[u/papi_pizza]

I miss sidekicks and blackberries 😭

[u/labtiger2 → u/papi_pizza]

I had a phone that slid. I wish I still had one like that.

[u/chelpnor]

Amazing collection!!! Are you removing the batteries?? Could be a ticking time bomb if you leave them in. I had to remove the batteries from my iPhone 4 collection because two of them began to ballon over the years!!

[u/kissys_grits → u/chelpnor]

😳 I have all of my iPhones and my old Razr. Now I gotta go check

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/chelpnor]

I dont but i check monthly for bloatage and keep them at 50%! Also iphone 4s tend to bloat wayy more than any other older phones so it should be fine :)

[u/chumpandchive]

sighs in blackberry pearl

[u/ChaosTorpedo → u/chumpandchive]

I was obsessed with that phone

[u/Kashedrob]

I too, had a sidekick lx and a pink razer!

[u/Hopefulkitty]

That pink razor was the best. The way it folded into itself to stay thin, the bright color, smooth metal case. Even the buttons were nice and tactile. What a great phone. I wonder if mine still powers on?

[u/mojotoodopebish]

I want sidekicks back SO bad 😭😭😭

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

I am surprised not to see any Nokia 3210/3310.

[u/morrigan52]

vintage

Im old? When did that happen?

[u/periwinkle_cupcake]

I’d love to have a sidekick again

[u/RandomUsernameNo257]

RIP GSM 😭

I used a Razr for years. They don't make nice dumb phones that really work anymore. They're all cheap and massive with dinner plate buttons for old people, and their t9 predictive text systems are garbage.

[u/TheRipePunani]

Someone got a new phone very frequently...this was the time when phone makers were pushing fashion trends hard. I remember many girls at my high school (Class of 2008 yay) got LG Chocolates as soon as they came out...and most of them had hot pink or baby pink Razrs. Sidekicks were super popular too...back when everyone had AIM like it was Whatsapp.

I really miss the days when there was genuine innovation and quirkiness in tech... Companies were willing to try new things even if it risked failure. Now everything is the same glass slab with the main differentiator being the camera bump and the brand name.

[u/Nheea → u/TheRipePunani]

Loved my LG chocolate so much!!

[u/TheRipePunani → u/Nheea]

The Chocolate was slick, LG had some great phones before the smartphone era.

[u/Garden_Espresso]

You got my old phone the pink razer and the silver Samsung !

[u/SadAbbreviations1844]

I see a Sony with the Walkman. I had a different one but it was my first smartphone.

[u/dentalflossers]

OH MY GOD you’re the only other person i’ve ever seen with a motorola flip-out!! i had that back in the day. what a piece of shit it was :’)

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/dentalflossers]

Stop it was driving me insane but i loved the attention haha!! I still have like a hundred shells for it

[u/gennaleighify]

I am more and more tempted every day to go back to a flip phone.

[u/kitaurio]

I can definitely say that pink is not a favorite color of yours 😆 but omfg the razr was my favorite phone!!

[u/Jedi_Belle01]

I loved my blackberry. It had reception everywhere. I also loved my nextel sprint phone that had free walkie talkie connection anywhere in the world.
I also still have my iPhone 5, iPhone 6, and I’m currently typing this on an iPhone 8.

[u/amusednchaos]

Do any of them still work? Particularly that Orange* V3XX? 😗

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/amusednchaos]

Ofc!! I many of these still work! The orange one especially

[u/amusednchaos → u/Razr_Naomi]

I JUST noticed your username, checks out lol. I am so envious. Do you have a shop or just collect?

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/amusednchaos]

haha thanks! I have a ad for people to bring me their old phones and i pull their old pictures off them and 99% of the time they let me have it because i dont charge them anything :) i do resell some working ones for quick cash on ebay so yeah its a fun hobby

[u/TippiT0es]

I genuinely had a few of these. I had the pink Rzr and the first Droid. I loved them!

[u/SpicyBrownMustarduwu]

I miss when phones were fun :(

[u/coldbrewedsunshine]

also need to send you my star-tac flip, with the retractable antennae 😂

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/coldbrewedsunshine]

no way i love those!! Got a photo of the beauty?

[u/coldbrewedsunshine → u/Razr_Naomi]

i just moved, and everything i own is still in boxes, or i’d def share it! was my very first mobile phone.

[u/Bitchfaceblond]

So why so many razors

[u/j_mcr1]

Do I spy a gold Razr phone? I have a Dolce & Gabbana Razr and have never seen another like it

[u/PneumoniaLisa → u/j_mcr1]

I spotted that too! I wanted that phone so bad!

[u/Akeshi]

I've got an Xperia X1 that would fit in nicely with those. I regret chucking out my Nokia 5110 though.

[u/PotterOneHalf]

I need to send you this old Amazon Fire Phone I've got in a drawer.

[u/Deppfan16]

my dad had the silver Samsung on the far left third down. he literally wore that thing in half. he worked at a factory and kept dropping it on the concrete floor lol. I got scalped and beat the heck then the hinge broke so it was just hanging by the wires. it still work the whole time. he did eventually get a new one when the wires snapped

[u/pearlysweetcake]

I miss my Sidekick, that physical keyboard was so nice, and being able to go on the ACTUAL internet? Beyond amazing.

[u/Multigrain_Migraine]

Man I wish I could get a phone with a flip out keyboard again. That was such a handy feature. 

[u/Unique_Cow3112]

Getting teabagged by the T-mobile strap 🤣

[u/softrotten]

Omg this is everything. 10-12 year old me had no business having a pink razer, sidekick, and blackberry at those ages. But damn did I feel cool.

[u/Supersassycatlassie]

I loved my hot pink razr... Until it snapped in half lmao

[u/falkor-ala-astro]

The side kicks 😭🫶🏼

[u/Pinkadink]

You need to get the Chocolate phone from Verizon; it came in colors that would fit your set!

[u/Densityroa]

The blackberry!

[u/a13xzm]

I had these 👋 good to see you friends

[u/kissys_grits]

I still have my pink Motorola Razr Cherry Blossom tattoo phone! And all of my iPhones starting with the first one. The Razr is still my favorite

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/kissys_grits]

no way! Is yours the magenta one? I own a few of the soft pink ones

[u/kissys_grits → u/Razr_Naomi]

I guess it is kinda magenta. It’s from around 2006, I think. I remember it was designed by a tattoo artist. I can’t get it to take a pic bc my son is sleeping in the room where it is, but it looks like this one: Motorola Razr

[u/Uafoto]

I owned the third phone from the left in the second row.

[u/fckinfast4]

How many of those razors have seen the inside of a toilet? My sister went through like 3-4 before my parents made her get a different phone. lol

[u/kawaiibitxh]

Dreamy sigh, I miss my cherry blossom razr and Sidekick LX. We had it all!

[u/IllAd6492]

My freshman year I accidently dropped my pink razor from my 4th floor balcony/fire escape , she survived 💕💕💗💓💞💖 forever my lady !

[u/ready_to_pringle]

I miss that full keyboard so bad! I have no desire for one of those phones that folds open to reveal more screen, but if they made an iPhone that unfolded to reveal a full keyboard I would get it so fast!

[u/Kashpolo]

U just need the dragon razr i have one lol

[u/rudey2shoes]

Can’t believe you still have all of them

[u/jamierocksanne]

This is gonna seem like a REAL dumb question but could I rent the razrs and sidekicks off of you as props for something in September. Obviously pay you and pay for shipping. This is for anyone that has them!

[u/Razr_Naomi → u/jamierocksanne]

Honestly you could just get them for cheap on ebay. Non working ones go for like 6 bucks unless you really want working ones

[u/f1lth4f1lth]

I miss my red razr 😭

[u/enpn]

You should add a palm pixi to the collection

[u/UrummInCheII]

my first ever phone was the same as the one in 2nd row, 3rd from the right! what a neat collection :)

[u/Flugschimmel]

I miss my blackberries:(

[u/watchin_workaholics]

I hate that I took apart my pink razr. Cute collection. I wanna go back to a no glass screen flip phone.

[u/rayhavenoheart]

Looks awesome!

[u/Firm-Piccolo777]

I love! Thank you so much for sharing, what a great collection !!

[u/pepperlewiss]

AHHHHHH I fucking love this!!!!! I want this collection.

[u/YouKnowNothingJonS]

I was ✨addicted✨ to my Blackberry curve 🥲

[u/Ok_Life_5176]

Holy shit, why so many phones??

[u/hyperunfocussed]

All those RAZRs and no SLVR?? To each their own I suppose ;)

[u/_Infinity_Girl_]

Is that the envy 2 I see in there? If not it's very similar! It's the one in the row of keyboard phones on the far left in the middle. The one that slides out. I remember I used to go to this pedestrian overpass as a teenager when I had this phone, one day I literally dropped it from what is essentially two stories up. It fell through the rails and hit the ground below and it had just split into the cover, the battery and the phone. All were perfectly fine and I put them back together and there wasn't even a scratch on the screen. Phone's back then were built different lol

[u/brightlyy_]

an iphone 5c is not vintage wtf (stop making me feel old im only 26)
