  I had the Motorola droid, it was pretty sweet

    Forgot about this one. I loved this phone back in the day. Remember when it would say DROID when you booted it up?

    It was the first good phone. It was great to have the Verizon marketing thrown at an Android flagship phone.

    Loved that phone! I had a little gamepad for it that would click onto the keyboard. I ran emulators on it, perfect for my daily commute to uni.

  I really enjoyed my Sidekick from TMo. Great device to play Google roulette back when feature phones were king.

  But the dual slide on the Helio Ocean was pretty dope too. The screen was just too small for most people to care.

    Yes, the sidekick LX was the perfect phone, it’s too bad they shit the bed when they tried to bring it back with Android.

    As far as androids with keyboards, the Moto Droid and the HTC G2 really hit the sweet spot. They are tiny little things though compared to current flagships.

  Surely you mean the slider style of the Xperia X1 and not the more common folding style of the LG

  LG had the best phones out of the box, hands down. But as soon as they’re updated, they turn to shit. Excellent hardware, shitty after-sale support. I think that’s what killed their phones.

    Just last week I upgraded from an LG V30. It was still running Android 8 and the battery would only last half of a day but I loved that phone.

    RIP LG phones, I will miss you.

      I still have my lg v30! It’s not my main phone, but I keep it on for apps and other stuff I don’t want to put on my main phone, and the battery still lasts me a whole day with moderate use. And yeah, the last update it had was in 2019. Truly a great company. But for me, the G5 was the GOAT!
