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.
Nokia N95 and I'd probably still be using it if I didn't decide it was a great idea to go swimming with my clothes on.
I went back to a dumb phone. I don't regeret it for one minute.
Curious what do you have now?
An old Alcatel.
An LG C1300. I carried that thing for several years. Never had to replace the battery and it would still go 3 days on a charge when I finally switched to an iPhone 3
I miss my nokia n80. It was not too dumb.
Motorola V635i
I don't know, the last one was maybe a Motorola clamshell, but from the "old" ones I had a Bosch GSM909, yes, they made phones. Barely usable and horribly expensive to use. But it had a blue 2 line display. A BLUE DISPLAY. Woooooow.
That blue is very nice!
That's what I thought back then... I believe. Everyone had a green or orange display, I was the young rebel I was back in the day ;)
I had the James Bond edition of Sony Ericsson C902. The camera was nice but the UI had frame rate issues. I came from a brown SE K770i which was buttery smooth. From C902 I went to Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, my first touchscreen phone and first Android where I learned about apps, OS updates, fustom ROMs, etc. What a fantastic phone that was.
Sony-Ericsson W350i. Had it for about a year before I got my first Android device, an HTC Hero.
Nokia c5-00 and I stil prefer it.
I think it was the Alias 2 or 3
Motorola Q - sold as a smart phone, was in fact dumb. Before that, moto razr
Some Sony Ericsson Xperia with a slideout keyboard. Was shocked how much of a dumb brick it was compared to my iPod Touch I got at the same time.
Oh how I miss the days of simple yet complex innovation.
I had the flip shot (camera phone that flipped into a digital camera) from Verizon and the LG chocolate (slide up phone).
Both were amazing. Though I'd have to say my favorite was the tmobile sidekick.
Never had a Sidekick but I always thought they looked satisfyingly functional
Had a Samsung F250L. Neat little phone, decent camera for the time I've had it (2008-13). As much as I'd like some dumb phones again, the very least it'd had to have is fucking whatsapp, otherwise i'd be the "incommunicado". I suspect something running KaiOS would suffice
I think it was the Octane
My very first phone was my only non "smart" phone. And even then it was pretty powerful for what it was. It had a web browser, could play mp3s, etc. but I don't think it was explicitly a smart phone.
My next phone was a Pantech Duo which was labeled a smart phone, but probably wouldn't be considered one by modern standards. It did the same thing as the previous phone, but you could load apps onto it, came with word, excel mobile on it, could do email, etc.
After that phone I got an iPhone 3g shortly after the 3gs came out.
My last non-Andorid phone was a Motorola Krzr. It was a little longer and much less wide than a Razr. If I couldn't have a smartphone I would go back to that design in a second. It worked very well.
Moto enV 3 I think. Went from that to an HTC windows phone and then to a Moto Droid 1
Nokia 3510i if I recall.
I think I also had a cheap Motorola flip phone too.
A Samsung F400,it was a slider that slid up to reveal the number pad and down to reveal a speaker. Was great for music, don't remember much more about it. Moved on to the Blackberry Bold after that as far as I remember.
Nokia 5228, those times were great when friends sent me some music using the bluetooth
Motorola KRZR
God that phone sucked. It was so slow. I always wondered why Gameboy could be so damned fast, yet a phone with a much more powerful soc struggled just to bring up my contacts? They needed video game devs making the phone OS.
I had a blackberry bold which was sorta in between smart and dumb. My last actual dumb phone was an LG rumor, which was one of those with the full querty slide-out keyboard
