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.
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 ๐
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.
Got my first smartphone in 2017. My first dumbphone in 2008. Late to both parties.
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.
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.
An LG KF600. It was pretty mediocre.
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.
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.
Samsung D900 was my last dumbphone. It was pretty cool. But my fav is still the Moto Razr v3.
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.
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.
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
Alcatel OT606A with slide out keyboard
I miss phones being like this sometimes
Sony W980
I had Nokia 2720 and I had ported DOOM to it.
It was meh. No OS updates in forever, and T9 sucks.
Man, I don't remember the exact model, but it was a newer black Nokia phone I think. I remember the one before it though, the OG Motorola Razr flip phone.
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.
Motorola v551j
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.
Alias 2 and I still have it packed away in a box.
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.
