My first cell phone was a flip phone, a Motorola Razr, one of the most popular models ever. I loved that phone, it made me feel like a character on Star Trek when I would flip open my "communicator" and talk. It fit easily in my back pocket, and because of the neat design I never accidentally called anyone when it was in my pocket or purse.
Smartphones are the in thing now, but flip phones are making a comeback in some places. According to an online article in the Guardian. celebrities like Rhianna, and Anna Wintour (the editor of Vogue Magazine) have been spotted with flip phones and old time rocker Iggy Pop says he uses a flip phone. What's the deal? It could be a reaction to ongoing scandals of nude photos being taken from celebrity internet accounts.
However, flip phones with internet access are not any more secure than smartphones. And flip phones have never totally gone away, in fact they are still very popular with the general public. Some models are incredibly sturdy and can handle rough treatment. Some of these include the Verizon Motorola Barrage, The Samsung Convoy for Verizon, and yes the Motorola Razr and Krazr, also for Verizon. are still around.
Other carriers also have popular Flip Phones. AT&T has the Rugby series, phones that are built to military specifications. Several of the Kyocera models for Sprint are also rugged and durable. They include the Kyocera Duramax, the Duracore, and the DuraXT. Consumers can also buy Motorola Razrs in many colors, and Krazrs for T-Mobile.
Where can you find these phones?
On websites like MobileCellMart.com, which sells used and refurbished phones. Prices are usually well below $100.00 making these phones incredibly affordable. They are great choices for outdoorsmen, and even accident-prone teenagers.
Smartphones currently seem to just be getting bigger and bigger, but there will always be a place for small phones, especially ones that flip open!
