I'd say the Nokia 8210 from 1999 is a better contender. Very design-focussed, launched at Paris Fashion Week. Has to be among the smallest candybar phones made too. A much better phone than the RAZR.
I owned 2 of those and still miss them. I tried buying one off eBay a while ago (wow, that's about 7 years ago now) but the battery just didn't last and very soon the screen got dead pixel lines and the antenna malfunctioned - I suspect maybe some components had been replaced with knock-offs or something, it was very un-Nokialike.
8210 was incredibly popular, and desireable at the same time, although it was release quite a few years ahead of Motorola. I’d buy one now if I could find a NOS somewhere.
