flip phones were great as phones, but terrible as pdas. iPhone combined the two in a non-chunky way (competitors? Palm Treo? Windows Mobile phones?)

    I disagree with both.

    They were good enough as PDAs, those keyboards' buttons usually used for navigation are not much different from what's normal under Android now. Fit in one hand, convenient display angle. They were just ergonomically all around better.

    iPhones and Android phones I still have anxiety using.
