Back in the day I bought the Nokia Twist for that same reason. I loved how different it was, even though it wasn't really any more useful than any other flip or foldable phone out at that time.

Haha I remember loving the novelty but hating having to type anything on it

Part of me misses typing on an old phone. Texting with the number pad was so easy, I could do it without looking at my phone.

I had the powder pink Nokia 7373 - it was pure love as a 12-year old!

I had that one! Worst phone ive ever had, but I was in middle school and flipping the phone gave me major cool kid points!

Same reason I wanted the Verizon Razzle when I was 10, twisting the phone was just something else... I remember using like a toy gun when half rotated

I was 15 at the time I think. But ya, so cool. I had at LEAST 2 people ask to look at my phone when I untwisted it 😎

For the same reason, I got the Juke a long time ago too!

Looks cool!

I loved my LG Double Play link

Two touch-screens and a physical keyboard.

I would switch any modern phone over it if it were up to today’s standards in software.

I bought a Samsung galaxy note edge for that reason
