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.

Moto enV 3 I think. Went from that to an HTC windows phone and then to a Moto Droid 1

A Siemens S55. After that I moved to a Treo 270, and stayed with Palm until Nokia gave me an N900

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

Last non-android was a Nokia 95-4. Was still fairly smart though. In fact if I recall it had a lot more functionality than the iPhone 3g that my gf had at the same time.

Last non smart was probably the Nokia 7250.

I'm to young for. feature phones. although my first phone was a wonderful 2010 HTC desire brown a high-end phone in its heyday with 576mb of ram and a 3.7 touchscreen and like with most older android smartphones this had an user replaceable battery headphone jack and are easy to root...... They don't make erm like they use to

Motorola Q - sold as a smart phone, was in fact dumb. Before that, moto razr

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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.

I believe it was Siemens MC60. I remember getting my arm broken and then getting 10k CZK from the accident benefits. Parents asked me what I wanted for part of that money when I was in the hospital and I said this.

Then I bought a refurbished Treo 650 in 2015, an awesome piece of technology if only it had a WiFi (there was a possibility of a module that clipped on the back which had its own battery, or there were WiFi SDIO cards, but I, being a poor student who poured all his savings into the phone (yeah, very bad financial decision), couldn't afford either of them.

I still miss a phone like that, but with a modern chipset and maybe a better OS (but still somehow based on the PalmOS original path)

I had a Sanyo SCP 7400 (clamshell) for a number of years during the mid-2000s and it was solid as a rock. Loved that phone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Don't remember the exact model but something like this Nokia 1110.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Nokia 6100. It was awesome

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Nokia 8210. It was small and awesome. It was before small became lame.

Sony Ericsson T700.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

Nokia N75. It was an upgrade from a Sony Ericsson hand-me-down after my invincible Nokia was thrown out of the window of my car as it was being stolen (I called it and the thief answered… long story).

The N75 had a 2mp camera and MP3 playing, but tiny storage and I got a free iPod (the touch wheel one) with a college powebook around the same time. I used the N75 online once, to locate a restaurant one time, and it probably cost my $3-5 since I had no data plan.

This was a right before the iPhone 3G would make those affordable and launch the App Store. I bought that for my wife and we never went back.

I also had the Alias 2, and then it became my mom's phone after I moved on to my first smartphone (HTC One M7). Loved that stupid double flipping thing to death, such a great design with the e-paper or w/e for the buttons so they could change for the different perspective / context.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Sony Ericsson k610i -> Samsung Galaxy S2

I really like the Galaxy. It was a really good size for a smartphone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Nokia E52 And before that Sony Ericsson W200 And even before that Mitsubishi M320

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

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...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Some kind of Sony Erickson phone, don't recall the model, or if that was the model name.
