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.
My first phone was a smartphone. But a smartphone version of the one in your picture would be awesome.
Sony Ericsson W810i. Got it in 2007, I think. When it started to die on me in late 2009 i replaced it with an iPhone 3G, which was my first apple phone. It was also my last apple phone as I hated how locked down everything was.
EDIT: I just remembered I had a secondary dumbphone around 2012 or thereabouts. It was a dual SIM nokia of some sort that I used mainly as a backup phone in case my main ran out of battery while I was on the move.
BlackBerry
Sony-Ericsson W350i. Had it for about a year before I got my first Android device, an HTC Hero.
An LG C1300. I carried that thing for several years. Never had to replace the battery and it would still go 3 days on a charge when I finally switched to an iPhone 3
Fuck yeah, I had the Alias 2 too. Such a cool phone. Then I also switched to an iphone 5.
I had the James Bond edition of Sony Ericsson C902. The camera was nice but the UI had frame rate issues. I came from a brown SE K770i which was buttery smooth. From C902 I went to Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, my first touchscreen phone and first Android where I learned about apps, OS updates, fustom ROMs, etc. What a fantastic phone that was.
I don't member the exact model but I had an LG Voyager that i held onto for a long time... I did NOT want to give up my physical keyboard for the touchscreen keyboard so I held out as long as I could. If Samsung came out with a slide-out keyboard for smartphones I'd be on that shit right away.
Owned a whole bunch of Sony / Sony Ericsson phones for about a decade.
Last one before the Xperia for me was the Aino..... Loved that thing.
Is it weird you can still get them?
Nokia 6630
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.
Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.
Nokia N95 and I'd probably still be using it if I didn't decide it was a great idea to go swimming with my clothes on.
I don't even want a smartphone now. would love a feature flip phone with the capability of being a hotspot. so wish that was a thing.
I went back to a dumb phone. I don't regeret it for one minute.
Curious what do you have now?
An old Alcatel.
I held out on a smartphone for a long time because I loved my Alias so much. That keyboard thing was cool as fuck.
My last phone before my first smartphone was a Microsoft Kin 2, but it was actually a pretty cool phone if you didn't want to pay for a data plan. 
My last one was similar, but smaller screen. LG Rumor
Motorola V635i
I also had the Alias 2. Great phone. Technically I still have it but it is inactivated.
I still have a flip phone. Nokia piece of shit on Verizon. Works well for voice but it's shit for anything else.
I also had the alias 2. I thought I was pretty hot shit with the fancy flip-both-directions phone. And I think there was a little display on the outside too, right? With the time and some other basic notifications?
Landline -> Nokia 6600 -> Sony Ericsson P990i -> Android 2.3 "Gingerbread"
Been on Android ever since
I miss my nokia n80. It was not too dumb.
I don't know, the last one was maybe a Motorola clamshell, but from the "old" ones I had a Bosch GSM909, yes, they made phones. Barely usable and horribly expensive to use. But it had a blue 2 line display. A BLUE DISPLAY. Woooooow.
It is interesting that a phone with querty keyboard, web browsing and camera is called a dumb phone.
Motorola Q - sold as a smart phone, was in fact dumb. Before that, moto razr
Nokia 2680 Slide.
I miss that thing. https://goo.gl/search/Nokia+2680+SLIDE+BLUE&hl=en Nokia 2680 SLIDE BLUE, Mobile phone
Nokia 5228, those times were great when friends sent me some music using the bluetooth
i'll let you know...
when i get one. still using a flipper. i don't "need" the internet in my pocket, and i love going weeks between charges.
A Siemens S55. After that I moved to a Treo 270, and stayed with Palm until Nokia gave me an N900
