Ask Lemmy

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.

Some blackberry, but if that doesn’t count then it was I think the lg chocolate.

LG Voyager. Loved that phone!

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

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

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

Nokia c5-00 and I stil prefer it.

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

I think it was the Alias 2 or 3

Oh how I miss the days of simple yet complex innovation.

I had the flip shot (camera phone that flipped into a digital camera) from Verizon and the LG chocolate (slide up phone).

Both were amazing. Though I'd have to say my favorite was the tmobile sidekick.

I had a Sanyo SCP 7400 (clamshell) for a number of years during the mid-2000s and it was solid as a rock. Loved that phone.

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)

Nokia 6100. It was awesome

I think it was the Octane

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.

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.

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.

Don't remember the exact model but something like this Nokia 1110.

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

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.

I don't remember the name, but it was some Samsung phone with a relatively low resolution touch screen and a slide out keyboard. I got so good at texting with the slide out keyboard, god I miss those.

I believe it was this guy, an LG Cosmos 2. I recall it being not great. But it was infinitely nicer to type on than any phone I've had since so there's that.

Newegg used to sell this one dumb phone for like $12. Completely unbranded garbage but it made calls and did sms.

My brother used to lose his phone or drop it in the toilet constantly. We had like 3 or 4 of that crappy phone just because he kept doing stupid stuff.

Samsung D900 was my last dumbphone. It was pretty cool. But my fav is still the Moto Razr v3.

I miss phones being like this sometimes

I had Nokia 2720 and I had ported DOOM to it.

It was meh. No OS updates in forever, and T9 sucks.

Alcatel OT606A with slide out keyboard

I had a Motorola ROKR Z6, which was kinda like the RAZR, but a vertical slider, rather than a flip phone. It was ok, but eventually the dpad like, fell off or something. I don't remember exactly, but it just became unusable at some point.

Sony W980
