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.

Sony Ericsson k610i -> Samsung Galaxy S2

I really like the Galaxy. It was a really good size for a smartphone.

Got my first smartphone in 2017. My first dumbphone in 2008. Late to both parties.

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.

Nokia n70. Still think about it sometimes, it was a great little phone.

Nokia N75. It was an upgrade from a Sony Ericsson hand-me-down after my invincible Nokia was thrown out of the window of my car as it was being stolen (I called it and the thief answered… long story).

The N75 had a 2mp camera and MP3 playing, but tiny storage and I got a free iPod (the touch wheel one) with a college powebook around the same time. I used the N75 online once, to locate a restaurant one time, and it probably cost my $3-5 since I had no data plan.

This was a right before the iPhone 3G would make those affordable and launch the App Store. I bought that for my wife and we never went back.

Alias 2 and I still have it packed away in a box.

Nokia 6100. It was awesome

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

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.

I had a blackberry bold which was sorta in between smart and dumb. My last actual dumb phone was an LG rumor, which was one of those with the full querty slide-out keyboard

[–] Bonifratz@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

A Nokia 3330 if I remember correctly.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Motorola v551j

The last one I had was the original Motorola Razr and it was the second cell phone I ever had. My first phone was actually a smartish phone; my first cell was a Danger Hiptop (Sidekick). It was almost exactly like a modern smartphone; internet connected and used apps. But was around before the iPhone and did not have a touch screen. Only reason it wasn't also my last "dumb" phone was because my original broke long after they stopped selling them. Just to put in perspective how long I had these: my next phone after the Razr and first actual smartphone was a Nexus 4.

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.

[–] Michal@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

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.

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 😄

A Nokia 5310, before moving over to a ZTE blade gen1. Really liked the XpressMusic phones, and their proper headphone out and proper signal levels when using it. Trying to use the aux on car stereos with any following smartphones before my current Xperia 5 III was hopeless, since the maximum voltage levels were so low you had to turn the amplifier volume up to 11 just to hear anything...

[–] Asnabel@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Nokia E52 And before that Sony Ericsson W200 And even before that Mitsubishi M320

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Some kind of Sony Erickson phone, don't recall the model, or if that was the model name.
