Went to Hong Kong recently, got all these vintage phones for free!

Bought 12 and got 17 for free, 29 phones in total!(marked with the signs "FREE" and "PAID")

The people were extremely nice there and I was able to buy a lot of phones. Got most of these from various shops in the building. I thought alongside the vintage phones I would get a VoLTE philips phone as well since these flip phones aren't really very common outside China/Hk. I was talking with the shop owner about how I collect these classics and he said he could help. I said sure and he started to load like 15+ phones into a bag, all complete with original boxes and accessories too! I tried to pay him but he said he would throw these away since they were old stock so I got them for free! Really nice guy... A few other shop owners also gave me a few free phones where the devices had some problems (like a broken keypad etc). Overall really proud of this haul and look forward to visiting HK again whenever the time comes!

Any help identifying some of the unboxed ones would be great. Really proud of the Vertu Ascent Ti and the Nokia 8800 Arte! I bought the Unihertz for my dad, was afraid he wouldn't like it since he's used to iPhones but he ended up loving it! I'm positive physical keyboards on phones could make a comeback it just has to be done the right way. Hopefully we see some variety to phones soon because they just feel so bland nowadays...
