I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.
Got my first smartphone in 2017. My first dumbphone in 2008. Late to both parties.
Nokia E52 And before that Sony Ericsson W200 And even before that Mitsubishi M320
I had a Sony Ericsson W595i before my first smartphone (which was a Vodafone 845)
I loved Sony Ericssons, had a bunch of them, because they were extremely moddable through VKP patches. it ran Doom natively 😄
Some kind of Sony Erickson phone, don't recall the model, or if that was the model name.
A Nokia 5310, before moving over to a ZTE blade gen1. Really liked the XpressMusic phones, and their proper headphone out and proper signal levels when using it. Trying to use the aux on car stereos with any following smartphones before my current Xperia 5 III was hopeless, since the maximum voltage levels were so low you had to turn the amplifier volume up to 11 just to hear anything...
I know it was LG flip phone and it was red, but I dont know what model
Motorola V262.
I had Nokia 2720 and I had ported DOOM to it.
It was meh. No OS updates in forever, and T9 sucks.
I miss phones being like this sometimes
I believe it was this guy, an LG Cosmos 2. I recall it being not great. But it was infinitely nicer to type on than any phone I've had since so there's that.
Newegg used to sell this one dumb phone for like $12. Completely unbranded garbage but it made calls and did sms.
My brother used to lose his phone or drop it in the toilet constantly. We had like 3 or 4 of that crappy phone just because he kept doing stupid stuff.
I had a Motorola ROKR Z6, which was kinda like the RAZR, but a vertical slider, rather than a flip phone. It was ok, but eventually the dpad like, fell off or something. I don't remember exactly, but it just became unusable at some point.
Probably Siemens C65 as my first smartphone was Siemens SXG75.
But later I got a Sony Ericsson K800 which is a feature phone, then I got a more mainstream smartphone Nokia N95 8Gb.
I was late to the cell phone game and never got a "nice" dumb phone. I had a crappy TracFone. Reception was okay. Texting was torture. Bought an HTC Droid around 2010-2011 and never looked back.
Wow. I totally don't remember and now you're making me wish I did. It was a red flip phone, but I don't even know what company made it.
Alias 2 and I still have it packed away in a box.
A Nokia 3330 if I remember correctly.
Motorola A1200, black one. Not exactly dumb phone but it wasn't Android either. I love that device. Sadly they were never cheap, now days included. They are full Linux phone with GSM modules in kernel and no restrictions what so ever, so they are super popular with GSM hackers.
Nit sure what it was called, but I'm pretty sure that not only it's the last Qwerty keyboard phone i used, it's also one of the last phone Nokia sold in my country.
Motorola v551j
Nokia 3220 with the cool led lights on the side lol
I used that thing until it literally fell apart, and I did not treat it gently.
Alcatel OT606A with slide out keyboard
samsung c6112 to samsung galaxy y s5360
Nokia E71 with the full QWERTY keyboard. Loved it, even though the keys were too small to comfortable use. I guess technically speaking that's still a smartphone so before that I had some Samsung flip phone, can't remember the exact model
I don't remember the name, but it was some Samsung phone with a relatively low resolution touch screen and a slide out keyboard. I got so good at texting with the slide out keyboard, god I miss those.
Sony Ericsson k610i -> Samsung Galaxy S2
I really like the Galaxy. It was a really good size for a smartphone.
