@pallenberg I owned a Nokia communicator once, but my last #Nokia smartphone was the E 61i. This was a very solid device. For a very short period of time I owned a N 95 with a five megapixel camera. I never used it that much. Then I switched to the iPhone 3Gs. Good old days.
I had a palm OS organizer also combined within expendable keyboard, and my trustee Sony Erickson. A combined powerhouse …

@pallenberg In "La Casa de papel" they collect everyone's cellphone and put them on a wall in a room.
This scene made me quite sad recently, because we lost so much variety in design since then.
Unfair to single out Apple, but the iPhone brought us uniformity. -
