Concur. I had a Motorola MPx200 for a while. That thing was boss. This was solidly still in the feature phone era and people’s minds were blown by the fact that you could just do whatever you wanted with this thing and nobody did anything to stop you. Make your ringtone any .mp3 or .wav without having to pay the carrier store 99 cents. Make your home screen wallpaper anything. Just stick programs and games on it by connecting it to your PC and copying files over. Hook it up to anything with a normal for the time USB mini-B cable, not some $40 proprietary bullshit. Etc., etc. It was great.
And since it was a chunky flip phone I could answer a call by flicking into the air like a penny and catching it, because the inertia would snap the screen open.

I had an HTC Wizard that ran on Windows Phone 5.0. It really was a piece of shit, but I loved the slide out keyboard and the fact that I could stream internet radio with it (when I was on wifi).
But I remember having to explain to someone that no, just because it ran ‘Windows’ it couldn’t run Limewire. That said, it’s entirely possible that someone wrote a version of Limewire that it could run.
