I remember my first phone better than the last feature phone I had. First was the Nokia 5190
The last non-smartphone I owned was a Samsung I think. One of the first ones that supported media playback. It was a flip/clamshell design. After that it was a string of questionable choices until I got my first Nexus.
I had a strtrk phone (I think that was the name), which was a clamshell Windows Mobile phone and I really liked it but I went for a walk on a pretty warm day and got a call. After a long conversation, enough sweat got into the phone that it died. I also had the HTC touch, I think it was called. Anyways, it was a soap bar but slid sideways and had a qwerty keyboard, also Windows phone. I eventually picked up a Motorola milestone (other regions may know it as the Motorola Droid), which was similar to the HTC, but thinner, with a bigger screen, and it ran android, my first Android phone.
Then I eventually gave up on the hardware keyboard because nobody made phones with them that were any good, went through a few other HTC's that were all Android and very forgettable, until I landed on the Nexus 4. I've been doing the Google thing since. I owned a Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, and 5X, as well as the pixel 1, 4 and now 7. Over the years, I've had secondary phones, usually iPhones, but not always, sometimes for work, sometimes just to have something different with me. I think I've used the 6/6 SE and one of the cheap ones.... I forget which cheap one, but one of them.
