Old flip phones?

Here's a random topic, old flip phones. I'm not a phone geek or collector or anything, buuuut...
I'm that one guy who's yet to own a single smart phone, my first phone was Nokia 3100 and after that I've just been using Nokia 7373 for like 13 years now lol, just haven't had the need to switch really, I'm good. Those two aren't traditional flip phones buuut hey.
Anyway, Cloud's phone from Advent Children is my absolute dream phone, Panasonic FOMA P900iV. It's basically japan-only due to limitations on what services it supports, it appearently requires some specific japanese teleoperator and all that... sooo while I'd love to get it one day (rare and expensive, goddamnit) I probably won't after all.
Just now I randomly found out about Nokia N93 and Nokia N93i and oooh boy those look goooood and close enough to Cloud's phone. There's probably some Panasonic's that aren't japan only but are very close in design but yeah, think I'd actually prefer Nokia since I'm more used to using those. And yeah that type of chunky design is very much to my liking, I don't really care for the more recent slick flip phones.
So uh hey yeah, you guys know of any cool old flip phones?

I'll proooobably ofcourse eventually get a smartphone, especially if I ever plan to travel to some foreign country or somethin since having a map & GPS would be pretty handy then, but yeah will prolly go for one with QWERTY keyboard under the screen, it's a shame those are pretty expensive
