Only oldfags will remember the infrared port, the unbreakable Nokia and the 2 megapixel camera.

1. Sony Ericsson W810

The most popular phone in the legendary Sony Walkman series, which revolutionized the way you listen to music. The phone supports MP3 and AAC audio codecs and has a high-quality 2 Mp camera for that time. The great-grandfather of all modern smartphones that focus on improving musical features.

2. Sony Ericsson W880i

A very thin (9.4 mm) phone with a plastic and stainless steel casing. Equipped with a 1 megapixel front camera for video calls and a 2 megapixel main camera. Unlike the iPhone that bends and breaks at a glance, it is quite sturdy, even in spite of its "slenderness".

3. Sony Ericsson K750

A phone that brings you back to childhood. Despite its antiquity, it is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash, autofocus and 4x zoom - a real magic for 2005. One of the chips is the camera shutter, which can be removed with a slight flick of your finger.

4. Motorola E398

Equipped with two powerful speakers, this phone has been a welcome gadget for all teens. The weighty apparatus with stylish black and silver design made an indelible impression on peers, and you could become the most fashionable in your school.

5. Motorola Razr V3i

Another super popular phone, thanks to which Motorola is still remembered with a kind word. Razr is a pioneer among clamshell smartphones that set the fashion for years to come. The large screen, ultra-thin body and backlit keyboard thrilled users and made the gadget one of the most attractive of the time.

6. Motorola V8

Another flip model, only with the GPRS function. The feature of this smartphone was two screens, one of which was located directly on the lid. With it, you could switch music and see incoming calls and messages.

7. Nokia 1100

One of the first classic Nokia phones that almost everyone had. A comfortable tube with a rubberized body and a tight keyboard that could last for years. Such a phone could survive being dropped into water and hitting a hard surface without being damaged.

8. Nokia 6600

Nokia's first step towards a new future: color screen, currency converter, voice recorder and even the ability to install an emulator for Dendy and Sega. The rounded body of the phone fits comfortably in the hand, and additional keyboard buttons add multifunctionality to the old man.

9. Nokia 3310

Unkillable Nokia has spawned countless memes. Its greenish screen with pixelated images looks more like Tetris, but this does not detract from the features of the phone: it is able not only to work for a long time without recharging, but also to survive the apocalypse.

10. Nokia 5310 XpressMusic

Lightweight compact model with standby time up to 12 days. It differed from other phones in its excellent MP3 sound quality, and still remains one of the best ringing players. Many fans of the rarity note that a phone for its money is a real find for all lovers of reliability and clean sound.

11. Nokia 6300

This Nokia will take you back to 2007. Another indestructible model with a rounded body at the edges, tight buttons and a small screen was the favorite of all business people who preferred reliability to excessive sophistication.

12. Nokia N95

Looking like a phone from a science fiction movie, Nokia's slider comes with two 5 and 1 megapixel cameras. And this is one of the first gadgets with which it was possible to take more or less high-quality pictures and selfies. And its back cover is somewhat reminiscent of modern pocket cameras.

13. Nokia 8800

This model does not differ in supernatural parameters, it has a completely different feature - the price. At one time, this elegant Nokia Sapphire Arte with a sapphire-colored case cost 900 euros - an unaffordable amount for most of the population. The presence of such a device was a sign of prosperity, but a 2 megapixel camera and 128 MB of internal memory did not surprise anyone even then.

14. Nokia N97

This phone is more similar to modern smartphones in its design. Large wide screen, rounded shape at the edges. An important feature of this model was a slide-out keyboard - a godsend for those who corresponded a lot and used the phone for work. At one time, this Nokia could even replace a tablet: it is equipped with a GPS-navigator, an MP3-player, a 5-megapixel camera and a memory card slot.

15. Nokia 5800

One of the first touchscreen phones. In terms of its design, it is closest to modern smartphones: a large screen, minimalistic menu icons, a sleek thin body. The phone was also equipped with a front-facing camera with which you could take selfies. At that time, Nokia was competing with Apple, but it could not win: iOS was faster and more feature-rich.
