I think you did find it. Looks like that xelibri 6. What a weird, not convenient design.

Foreigner@lemmy.world 6 months agoNot a Nokia and I can’t find that exact model but it seems there were a couple of weird round phones floating around in the early to mid 2000’s:

There were some other weird as hell designs around that period, like the ones in this article:

I recognise all but one of the phones in that link. The time just before smartphones was a weird moment in mobile phone history.

Want people to think you’re on birth control but you’re not? Get the xelibri 6!

Oh shit I had this phone! It was cool. For the time. But the left side felt really flimsy when you opened it up.

I just watched a video essay about design that talked about this, basically before the iPhone manufacturers were trying all kinds of crazy shit, after the iPhone it was black rectangles all around.
