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 w810 -> iPhone 3g.

My First and last iPhone

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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?

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.

I went back to a dumb phone. I don't regeret it for one minute.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Curious what do you have now?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

An old Alcatel.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My first phone was a smartphone. But a smartphone version of the one in your picture would be awesome.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've seen proof of concepts and Kickstarters.

Uncertain if they're good or just a nostalgic gimmick

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This small form factor running Android would be very cool! Despite a small screen, it'd probably work well enough since you wouldn't have a software keyboard taking up 50% of the screen real estate. The e-ink keyboard is a good compromise of having dynamic changing keys but still have the tactile feedback.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow. I totally don't remember and now you're making me wish I did. It was a red flip phone, but I don't even know what company made it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Likely LG, that was my first cell phone too.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

LG Voyager. Loved that phone!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I think it was a 2nd-hand Nokia N-Gage someone gave me. Weird phone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
