From this graph we can say the Razr was peak
I still have one somewhere. I'm amazed at how quickly people forgot that for a period of about a year, the Razr was the "it" phone to have. It was a fashion symbol, and had the same general societal status as the iPhone... before the iPhone.
Then smartphones hit it big especially with the iPhone itself and nobody gave a shit anymore.
One of the Razr's other big contributions was in abandoning the usual stupid proprietary multi-pin model specific cell phone charging connectors because it normalized the then state of the art USB mini B connector for both charging and data transfer. People were going around calling the mini B "the Razr plug" for a couple of months there, fully believing it was yet more proprietary bullshit because that's what they'd been conditioned to expect.
Early cell phones were weird. We don't get that kind of weird anymore.
For me the Palm Pixi was the peak expierence: small, touch friendly, hardware keyboard, relatively open OS, integrated headphone jack, wireless charging and very good battery live.
