I really would like a modern phone similar to a Danger Hiptop (aka the Sidekick) just for the actual buttons and scroll wheel and the coolness of flipping the screen open.

Good old times. My first Smartphone was the HTC Desire Z. Loved it :)
Do we have any community for vintage phones already?
I had a similar one that ran windows (CE maybe? I don't recall)
Nowadays, we don't even get keyboard covers for popular phones anymore.
I loved my G2.
It's in my nightstand drawer now, plump from bad battery bloat. I ran it for 10 years as my bedside alarm clock. It ran a long gone app called NightClock.
Found memories: and the memories are French.
Oui
I would love a Bluetooth keyboard cover like that for my s22
A friend of mine had the Droid.
At that point I was rocking the T Mobile Vario, which I believe was an HTC. It was, sadly, dog shit. Windows Mobile was not a fun time.
Windows Mobile did everything wrong. regarding the "mobile" aspect - lol
I had such a hard time with the HTC Diamond - it was super expensive at the time, so i really wanted to work with it.
Yeah, after this I had the Vario III, which was an HTC Kaiser. The phone was great (if somewhat underpowered), but WinMob was still clunky and shit.
My next phone after that was an iPhone 3GS, and I’ve been iPhone ever since.
In thought the SMS said SUS and got really confused for a second
