    umm... flip phones were not out in the 90s. those didnt pop off until early 2000. in the 90s you had that brick Nokia phone that did. no. flip. and never broke and cost like $3000000 per month. now I know Gen X knows that... why we letting these ppl pretend the 90s was more advanced than it was?

    Oooh yes! I remember being out on the town with just a regular digital camera. I had a Sony Cybershot, and we were limited to the little view finder to know if we got a decent shot. No standing around and editing and posting to the internet. I also remember 35mm film cameras too. What an even better era that was. We actually took pictures and hoped they came out nicely. The trips to the drug store to drop off our film. The waiting period, the anticipation! Gathering around your friends and family when you finally got your pictures back and rejoicing over your memories that could be days, months, or even years old depending on how often you took pictures. I’m not sure if I’m anti-smart phone, but I’m definitely anti social media. I remember the days when I had to be socially creative… now I get to just bury my face in my phone when I don’t wanna talk lol

    Hello I'm a Japanese essayist.
    The name is Mikan oshidari.
    I have published a book called [I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone]. I was addicted to my smartphone. But now I'm using a feature phone (flip phone). It's all about mental health. It was hard to stare at the screen for so long, being dominated by social media and unnecessary information. I was truly a slave to my smartphone. Now I use a feature phone (flip phone) and it's comfortable. I'm tired of using my smartphone, so I love feature phones (flip phones). But it's sad that feature phones are often ridiculed. I'm also worried that it may no longer be produced. I'm glad that you are communicating about the feature phone in this way. I hope people will reaffirm the goodness of feature phones. It's not that smartphones are bad, but feature phones are necessary for mental health. Please feel free to post again♥

    Oh my God all nostalgic with selective memory:
    old feature phones were as expensive as modern smartphones, got people hooked on sms and internet in the 00s (yes there was already an epidemic of phone zombies back, always on their phones), and most of them were breaking so easily.

    The 90s? We didn't have flip phones in the 90s. They came along in the early 2000s. In the 90s we had bar phones. Time will tell if this flip phone adoption is merely a fad amongst the GenZers. Hopefully it isn't a fad. I have an iPhone SE but the phone I actually use is a flip phone. All I want is a good voice phone. Something I don't have to charge every other day!

    How are flip phones from the 90s? 90s had pagers. Flip phones are from mid 2000s. I had a flip phone all the way until 2018 and considering how much time I waste on my smart phone and the dependence I have developed to it, it is really not worth all the convenience it offers me. I was a lot happier before I switched to smart phones.

      I posted the same thing today. Should have read more comments (like yours) before doing so. We had bar phones in the 90s. My wife had a Nokia phone in 1998 (not a flip) and my first cell phone was a Nokia 3390 (North American variant of the 3310) that I bought in 2000. Flips started appearing in the 2000s in huge numbers.

    Under 30… 😂 if you are at least 22 years old you had a flip phone. most of the older gen z had flip or sliding phones going into high school/end of middle school. Especially if you had an older sibling. At 26 now most of us didn’t get a real smart phone till we were 16/17. Same for my sister whos 3 years younger than me she had a flip phone til she got to high school. So the real question is if you’re under 20 do you know what a flip phone is 😂 and obviously they’re discovering them now

    I used to have a flipped phone almost 9 years ago. I rather not go back towards it. I loved using my iPhone 14 in purple. I remembered using scrunches during the 90’s when my hair was longer and it took me a long time to grow my hair long. I didn’t get a cellphone in the late 90’s which was almost the end of that decade. That cellphone wasn’t a flip phone.
