I met up with some old friends, yesterday.
The HTC G1 and G2 showing off their best features.
The Google Nexus One next to its grandfather, the G1.
And My Google Pixel 9 Pro XL *takes breathe* posing with its ancestors the Nexus One and G1.

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.
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.
Yes! I have two of those as well, but tried to keep the post simple. It blew my mind how tiny all these once cutting edge phones were in comparison to my Pixel.
Absolutely hands down my favorite phone I've ever owned. And thanks to XDA I was able to keep it running long past its prime. Would absolutely kill for a modern update.
