I know that if a flip phone falls, you don't have to worry about it breaking the screen.

I know that they flip and they're old.

Kind of basic as far as cell phones go.

What is this?

This isn't real, this isn't real, it's a toy.

It doesn't even have a screen.

Dang, this is hella basic.

Where's the on button?

(cell phone dialing)

I'm guessing this is some sort of a pager kind of thing.

Wait, is it only for calling?

That's so sad, and it's ugly too.

This is like really ugly.

When I hold this, I think like...

Oh yeah, I could be in the 19s

Whenever

So this one's got a screen, two screens.

This one is taking forever to turn on.

Maybe if I whip out the antenna, it'll go faster.

Oh, it has music.

It's got a nice moving fish background.

You can have pictures, but you can't take them.

So no selfies for you.

Hello?

It actually works.

It's still alive.

Wow, it is pretty durable.

Don't do that to my phone.

Here it is, the Razr.

I've always wanted one of these in elementary school.

It's pink, it's cute, it's flat.

Okay, this one is pretty.

It looks more elegant.

And it is much slimmer than the other ones.

Oh, look! The...

Tetris.

Looks like we got to sent a good text on this.

I'm sending a text to myself.

So you've got to press the numbers multiple times to get to the letter that you want.

Where's your space bar?

Oh, no... space bar.

Oh, I figured it out, the space is the hashtag.

Hi one.

It's one.

So I wanted to write: "Hey, how are you?",

but it turns out "hem-mm how are you".

So it definitely takes a lot longer to text on this thing.

Oh, it has phone camera, that's cute.

Selfie skills.

I don't know if I took the picture.

This phone was built for selfies.

This is not a picture I would post on Instagram though.

What is this?

Oh my god, this is ugly.

Oh, shoot, I remember this.

You'd see them all the time in, like, Gossip Girl.

No, yeah, I don't know what this is.

This is huge.

What?

This is hip, this is what was cool with the kids.

Does this thing not just fall right off?

Hold up, boom!

Okay, now it's powered on.

It's got a nice jingle.

I like how the old phones have nice jingles.

Instant messaging and then text messaging.

I guess back in the day, that was different?

I feel like it's easier to cheat your way through class.

Yeah, I'd probably use this, like, during school.

It's pretty straightforward.

You just have it under the table,

and then you can just do whatever with it.

This is the coolest.

They were pretty cool.

That texting, it took forever.

The Razr is what began the selfie revolution.

I low-key kind of got excited when I saw the Sidekick.

I guess that's like the sliver lining in the bronze age of cell phones.

I think I'm going to stick to my smartphone.

I'm going to keep my iPhone.

I need my iPhone, I love my iPhone.

The best part about flip phones is that when you're hanging up on somebody,

you can just be like, bye, you're gone.
