The phones of the early 2000s have been retroactively dismissed as "dumb" phones, but a more accurate description would be "dedicated phones." As the world transitioned toward smartphones, these less capable devices were known as "feature phones" for their ability to take photos, play games, and access tailored websites. While they lacked the power of modern smartphones, they prioritized compact dimensions and long battery life.

Most of old cell phones had one problem: they were thick and ugly, often looking like a pear cut in the middle. In contrast, the Motorola Razr V3 was the supermodel of phones: it was slim, gorgeous, and being called "dumb" didn't make it any less popular.

Before smartphones became mainstream, the Motorola Razr was the spiritual predecessor to the iPhone, transforming phones from a necessity into an object of desire.
