  1. Nokia 3310

    Indestructible, with a battery that lasted a week and Snake to fill it; this is the high-water mark of phones just working.

  2. Motorola RAZR V3

    Snapping it shut to end a call was more satisfying than any swipe gesture since, and nothing has looked cooler.

  3. T-Mobile Sidekick

    The spinning screen showed off a full keyboard, and it made texting feel like a status symbol for one golden era.

  4. BlackBerry Bold 9000

    Its keyboard let you write whole emails without looking, and phone typing has never been that fast again.

  5. iPhone 4

    The glass-and-steel sandwich still looks like a tiny piece of jewelry, death grip and all.
