It was Neo's sunglasses in the Matrix that was the shit back then Even though people wanted Morpheus' sunnies. No one could pull it off except Lawrence Fishburne
Exactly, and the cell phone that could spring open.
It boggles the mind why they never released the phone from the first movie. They thought we just wanted anything from the matrix series so they launched the one from the matrix 2 but that one was bulky and unattractive.
It was that sexy slider everyone really wanted and they denied us!
You could get phones like that overseas. There was way more variety and a bunch more models that never got released in the west.
Well that just further rankles my groingle!
I think you could actually buy that, but is wasn't spring loaded.
Nokia 8110
Did anyone mod it with a spring action?
I still want that. Those new folding RAZR phones fall super short by not being able to flip open or slam shut quickly
And such a slider mechanism would also work pretty well for modern smartphones as a protective cover.
Oh man, I wanted that phone so freaking bad!
