A selection of unusual phones from the past (17 photos)

What is 20 years from a historical point of view? It's literally "zilch". But despite this, the leap in technology has been very large. Take phones, for example. Small “dialers” were able to evolve into the coolest and stylish smartphones, which are essentially a powerful and versatile mini-computer. But those old “nuts” had their own charm and charm. Many people still keep these “nuts” as a dear artifact from the past. And it is worth noting that the designers of those years did not sit idle. They really tried to turn the phone into a truly unique, interesting and unusual device. Today, modern smartphones look more or less the same. But before, the flight of fancy was much more varied.
