Nokia 6300. Loved that thing, battery lasted all day and then some!
Some blackberry, but if that doesn’t count then it was I think the lg chocolate.
Nokia c5-00 and I stil prefer it.
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.
Nokia 2680 Slide.
I miss that thing. https://goo.gl/search/Nokia+2680+SLIDE+BLUE&hl=en Nokia 2680 SLIDE BLUE, Mobile phone
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
An Apple iPhone! Hahaha, I kid. . . . . I use Arch, btw.
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
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.
Something like this, idk if it was this exact phone though. Only used it for a few months before getting an LG smartphone.
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 think it was a 2nd-hand Nokia N-Gage someone gave me. Weird phone.
Nokia 5228, those times were great when friends sent me some music using the bluetooth
Fuck yeah, I had the Alias 2 too. Such a cool phone. Then I also switched to an iphone 5.
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.
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 think it was the Octane
My very first phone was my only non "smart" phone. And even then it was pretty powerful for what it was. It had a web browser, could play mp3s, etc. but I don't think it was explicitly a smart phone.
My next phone was a Pantech Duo which was labeled a smart phone, but probably wouldn't be considered one by modern standards. It did the same thing as the previous phone, but you could load apps onto it, came with word, excel mobile on it, could do email, etc.
After that phone I got an iPhone 3g shortly after the 3gs came out.
My last non-Andorid phone was a Motorola Krzr. It was a little longer and much less wide than a Razr. If I couldn't have a smartphone I would go back to that design in a second. It worked very well.
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.
Some Sony Ericsson Xperia with a slideout keyboard. Was shocked how much of a dumb brick it was compared to my iPod Touch I got at the same time.
Motorola KRZR
God that phone sucked. It was so slow. I always wondered why Gameboy could be so damned fast, yet a phone with a much more powerful soc struggled just to bring up my contacts? They needed video game devs making the phone OS.
Nokia C5-00.
I forget the name but it was the same style at the LG FlipShot.
Nokia 8210. It was small and awesome. It was before small became lame.
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 miss my nokia n80. It was not too dumb.
Sony-Ericsson J110i. Still have it somewhere.
Motorola V635i
Nokia 3510i if I recall.
I think I also had a cheap Motorola flip phone too.
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...
