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.

you could barely get the pictures it took out of it.

Ugh. I had some kind of old Samsung flip phone in the late 2000's and I had a picture on it of my ATV hanging upside down in the top of a tree. Easily 20m high. But I had trouble getting the pic off the phone, and now the phone is long gone.

Like they seriously thought "this camera is 100% for MMS messages, no one will want to keep the photos they take."
