like I lived through the brick to flip phone to smartphone era, but I can’t remember what features I was looking at on these flip phones when I was deciding which one to buy. do you guys remember?

    How big the front side screen was and if it was a colour display? Unless you liked the look of phone that only had LEDs showing the time on the front.

    What ringtones it had (remember this was the age of $1.99 ringtones).

    Speed/specs wasn’t too much of a factor as much as looks. As long as it made calls, did texts, play Snake and if you could afford cellular data then receive emails and do light websurfing then it was good enough.

    Oh, and in this age the smaller and more compact the phones were the better. Only with smartphones did the trend go into reverse.
