MODERATORS
The only phone I have owned previously I would like to have again in modern times is the Danger Hiptop AKA the Sidekick.
Surely they could make something more or less exactly the same, but runs on Android? I like the way the screen slid open but I especially loved the physical keyboard and scroll wheel.
I doubt mine powers up anymore but I do still have my original sidekick. The flip open is so fucking satisfying. It never wore out.
It was so great to have that keyboard I could touch type on. Swipe typing on Android is okay but it's not something I can do without looking and correcting.
Sidekick is still one of the G.O.A.T.
Yes! I had the Sidekick 2 and 3G, unfortunately that was before I started hoarding my gadgets. They did make an Android Sidekick but it was underpowered and they turned the keyboard into a slider. I would absolutely sell my firstborn for a well done updated Sidekick.
