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.
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.
Ditto. My only hangup comes from how hard it is to find a 5G feature phone that works with US carriers.
Alias 2 and I still have it packed away in a box.
Nokia 1100
I held out on a smartphone for a long time because I loved my Alias so much. That keyboard thing was cool as fuck.
Sony Ericsson T700.
LG Voyager. Loved that 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.
I also had the Alias 2, and then it became my mom's phone after I moved on to my first smartphone (HTC One M7). Loved that stupid double flipping thing to death, such a great design with the e-paper or w/e for the buttons so they could change for the different perspective / context.
A Nokia 3330 if I remember correctly.
Sony Ericsson k610i -> Samsung Galaxy S2
I really like the Galaxy. It was a really good size for a smartphone.
My first phone was a smartphone. But a smartphone version of the one in your picture would be awesome.
