Ask Lemmy

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.

LG Voyager. Loved that phone!

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

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

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

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 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.

Nokia 5228, those times were great when friends sent me some music using the bluetooth

A Samsung F400,it was a slider that slid up to reveal the number pad and down to reveal a speaker. Was great for music, don't remember much more about it. Moved on to the Blackberry Bold after that as far as I remember.

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.

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 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.

Nokia 3510i if I recall.

I think I also had a cheap Motorola flip phone too.

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 😄

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.

A Nokia 3330 if I remember correctly.

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.

Motorola v551j

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.

Man, I don't remember the exact model, but it was a newer black Nokia phone I think. I remember the one before it though, the OG Motorola Razr flip phone.

Nokia 1100

I was late to the cell phone game and never got a "nice" dumb phone. I had a crappy TracFone. Reception was okay. Texting was torture. Bought an HTC Droid around 2010-2011 and never looked back.
