There was a time, about 10 years ago, when the iPhone did not exist. Instead of iMessage, Snapchat, and Instagram, people communicated via simple text, or if you were cool enough, maybe a BBM. You could tell a lot about someone based on the phone they owned. In my opinion, these were the phones the coolest and hippest kids had (in no particular order).

1. The Sidekick

The sidekick was all about that flip. It looks like any old phone and then BOOM! Big, beautiful, "qwerty" keyboard, truly revolutionary.

2. The Razr

Perhaps not as popular amongst teens, the Razr had a large adult following. All the cool moms had that baby pink Razr.

3. The Blackberry

The Blackberry was truly the pinnacle of cool. Having one meant you were part of the BBM (blackberry messenger) world and would therefore only communicate with people who were also part of that world.

4. The Chocolate

The Chocolate was basically a less cool Razr. It was definitely more popular amongst teens but was nowhere near as sleek or savvy as the classic Razr.

5. The Env

The Env was my very first phone and because of that I will always hold it near and dear to my heart. The "qwerty" keyboard was one of the best out there and the camera captured perfectly pixelated pictures.
