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 2680 Slide.

I miss that thing. https://goo.gl/search/Nokia+2680+SLIDE+BLUE&hl=en Nokia 2680 SLIDE BLUE, Mobile phone

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 had a predecessor of that (Samsung dual flip but no e ink buttons) that I lost while drunk. So I got the new iPhone 3g to replace it.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/attachments/general-classifieds/114261d1194963393-samsung-sch-u740-dual-flip-phone-verizon-ss1.jpg

I had this one shortly before that: https://forums.macrumors.com/proxy.php?image=http:%2F%2Fnews.cnet.com%2Fi%2Fne%2Fp%2F2005%2F042505samsung_phones.jpg&hash=72f2c8627e066462a633888642027e9f

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

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

I had a Motorola StarTac, but I also had a plug-in organizer that I could import my contacts and initiate calls with. On top of that I had a cable that that I could tether my iPaq to by dialing #777 . My next phone was a Palm Treo.

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.

[-] GenesisJones@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I think it was the Octane

[-] tslnox@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Some blackberry, but if that doesn’t count then it was I think the lg chocolate.

[-] Ubettawerk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

LG Voyager. Loved that phone!

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Something like this, idk if it was this exact phone though. Only used it for a few months before getting an LG smartphone.

[-] liv@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Nokia c5-00 and I stil prefer it.

[-] Clbull@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nokia 3510i if I recall.

I think I also had a cheap Motorola flip phone too.

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

I forget the name but it was the same style at the LG FlipShot.

[-] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Sony Ericsson T700.

[-] DudeBro@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Bonifratz@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

A Nokia 3330 if I remember correctly.
