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.

I think you could actually buy that, but is wasn't spring loaded.

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!
