Ask Lemmy

Motorola Pebl.

Sony Ericsson w810 -> iPhone 3g.

My First and last iPhone

I had an LG VX4500. Loved that phone and still have it sitting somewhere in a drawer today.

I'll charge up old phones from time to time to read old text messages.

Nokia n70. Still think about it sometimes, it was a great little phone.

Dude I loved my Envy 2, played so much Tetris in the bathroom at work!

Some flip-phone from Sprint, though I can't even recall the name now. It had the ability to play text-based games and even snake! I think I was carrying a Palm Pilot near the end of that. It was an upgrade from the first brick I kept in my car for emergencies only. In 2004ish, I upgraded to a Siemens SX66 (Windows-based smartphone) and ditched the Palm Pilot. I continued to use Windows phones (I think I ended with an HTC Hero or something similar), until finally being convinced by borrowing a friend's old iPhone to get one of those. Was on iPhone from 3gs until 6plus. I made the jump to Android when Pixel 6 Pro came out, and that's what I still have today.

Nokia N93
My first smartphone was HTC HD2 which I replaced around 2016 for Pixel, which I still use.

An LG EnV 3. The full keyboard was a must for new!

my only "dumb phone" was a nokia 5300.

i used it for years, until i got dads old iphone 3 after he switched to a samsung phone.

i think that was a few months before jobs died, and the iphone 4s was released.

Is Nokia 5230 a smartphone? It didn't feel very smart

BlackBerry Pearl

I had this sweet thing, I was the coolest kid on the block I tell ya.

I would argue im still using a dumb phone because it sure aint smart

How dumb? OG Motoroloa RAZR V3 > Nokia N96 before I had an iOS or Android device.

Sony-Ericsson J110i. Still have it somewhere.

The nokia BRICK. No clue its really name but we all know the phone. It was my first phone i got when i entered high school.

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.

Landline -> Nokia 6600 -> Sony Ericsson P990i -> Android 2.3 "Gingerbread"

Been on Android ever since

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

I don't think I could say, honestly. My last (and first) dumb phone was a hand-me-down from my mother c2009, and I rarely used it. It spent most of its remaining life in a drawer with its battery removed, only coming out when I was going places where other forms of communication would be scarce. I think I made maybe a dozen calls (and one seriously garbled text message) before grudgingly getting a smart device in 2011.

And yes, my Boomer mother had gone through multiple cell phones before her Millennial son got his first.

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.

I also had the alias 2. I thought I was pretty hot shit with the fancy flip-both-directions phone. And I think there was a little display on the outside too, right? With the time and some other basic notifications?

BlackBerry

Samsung Rogue

I held out on a smartphone for a long time because I loved my Alias so much. That keyboard thing was cool as fuck.

The last one I had was the original Motorola Razr and it was the second cell phone I ever had. My first phone was actually a smartish phone; my first cell was a Danger Hiptop (Sidekick). It was almost exactly like a modern smartphone; internet connected and used apps. But was around before the iPhone and did not have a touch screen. Only reason it wasn't also my last "dumb" phone was because my original broke long after they stopped selling them. Just to put in perspective how long I had these: my next phone after the Razr and first actual smartphone was a Nexus 4.

Nokia N95 and I'd probably still be using it if I didn't decide it was a great idea to go swimming with my clothes on.

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

Fuck yeah, I had the Alias 2 too. Such a cool phone. Then I also switched to an iphone 5.

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.
