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.
I had the phone pictured in the post. I even activated the browser. It was 100% trash. WAP sites and browsers were nothing like even the first iPhone. That’s what made the iPhone such a shock, no one had browsed the web like that on a phone before and it was, no exaggeration, a game changer.
As for the camera the first iPhone camera was garbage comparatively but still was better than most if not all flip phones. I have picture back from when I had that phone pictured in the post and they are a grainy mess.
Well yeah, things improved. I guess the real difference is that the smart phone is actually a mobile general purpose computing device, which, by the way, also makes a call. My reason for buying iPhone 1 was to combine two devices in one - iPod and mobile phone. I did not expect that e-mail, web browsing and camera were so good. But the real game changer was an App Store, which came later.
Depends on what you need it to do. If you’re looking for something simple for text / minimal images, I’d recommend looking into Static Site Generators like Hugo and using something like GitHub Pages to host.
SSGs are fairly low-maintenance once the set up is out of the way.
Really depends what you want to create but there’s nothing wrong with just writing html and css. They’re as portable as you can get.
If you’re planning to do a lot of editing/posting then a static site genarator would be the next best thing as again you just end up with html and css which can be hosted anywhere. The generator can run on your system. Most are powered by markdown files so the content can (with little work) be migrated to another generator.
Beyond this you’re starting to get in to cms or other complex systems which i think is out of the scope of your question.
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.
