Sidekick phone. Complete gimmick, but it was the coolest thing ever.

i used to have a phone with an extending antenna, and you could get tv signals. i was watching tv in the classroom hahaha the phone was disgusting though, couldnt do anything with it.

I had an LG like that, little brick of a candy bar, had a few preloaded apps but not quite a smart phone. The TV was a special digital broadcast, IIRC, and you had to be signed up for the phone to descramble it, but it was not 2G data from the cell towers so it was crystal clear and no load time. Just not enough caramels to be worth the price.
