An LG KF600. It was pretty mediocre.

I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

LG Env, I actually miss it.

I had the env2. Hands down, my favorite phone to date.

droidpenguin,

Oh ya I remember wanting that one a lot! I think it was too expensive for me at the time, so ended up with the alias 2 but I envied anyone who had one of those.

ediculous,

ENV2 gang. Great phone.

TurnItOff_OnAgain, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Moto enV 3 I think. Went from that to an HTC windows phone and then to a Moto Droid 1

This was mine, which I used from 2001 until 2011. I loved that phone

I adored that phone!! I still miss the interchangeable covers instead of adding a stupid case to the phone. I had a few cases I could swap depending on my outfit or the occasion. I wish new phones would adopt a similar idea instead of having to add an extra cover on top of the phone. I don’t need it to look good under the cover. Just make the outside looks nice.

motorola razr

dasusernem,

I still have my champagne Razr around here somewhere. It works, even looks pretty new.

Tar_alcaran,

Best phone ever. I read through whole libraries on that little thing, and it looks so futuristic (as long as you don’t look at the 500 pixel screen or the 140p camera)

Slogan,

As a huge Formula 1 and Ferrari fan I had a Razr Maxx V6 Ferrari edition.

Lifecoach5000,

I paid $400 for one of these brand new and it was ludicrous at the time. I thought it was super cool though.

gregorum,

So did I, and it was. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

clay_pidgin, in Anyone know of any Fediverse gift exchanges I can still join for the 2023 holiday season?

If you find one, let me know? I never did one on Reddit but it always looked fun.

bionicjoey,

I did it one year on Reddit and got a really cool bottle opener. It arrived in a package with Danish/Greenlandic postage and the handle of the bottle opener appears to be made of whalebone carved in some sort of Inuit style.

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.

DudeBro, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

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.

itsgroundhogdayagain, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Bring back sliders with full keyboards

Being back T9. I could text with it in my pocket.

What duh the ib huwdb I j texted from my pitcher just fine.

If you didn’t text with a rotary phone you were a fucking noob: There, I said it.

registrert,
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

T9 would work on a rotary phone input. You would save a lot of of time. It would still take a lot of time.

I never saw one where the keys were big enough that I didn’t mash everything around the target key with the size of my fingers, and I really don’t have big hands or anything.

Rhynoplaz,

The BlackBerry Curve has my favorite keyboard, and I DO have big hands!

stoy,

The size of the keys are not really the issue, the size of the spacing around them is.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

or BlackBerry key approach

turbowafflz,

I really want one, I hate virtual keyboards so much. There’s the f(x)tec phones but their keyboards come out in landscape mode and I’d really rather have one where it’s portrait like the Palm Pre

registrert,
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

I got one of them tiny foldable bluetooth keyboards for anything longer than replies. Brings it with me everywhere, it’s super handy.

Yet not as handy as a slide out keyboard.

captain_aggravated,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is f(x)tec actually a thing? Like have they actually started shipping phones to customers?

UltraMagnus0001,

my first smart phone was a Motorola Droid that had a physical keyboard. Cameras have come a long way.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Motorola DROID 4 was my dream phone. Alas, it was never released down here, so I could never buy one, even used.

dasusernem,

I had an HTC Tilt back when the first iPhone was released. Aside from that phone running windows mobile (holy Christ, what a mess that was), I loved it so much. But then I finally joined the cult at the 3GS.

FlyingSquid, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

havokdj,

Likely LG, that was my first cell phone too.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m looking on Google and that doesn’t look right. There’s a Nokia one which looks kind of like what I remember, but I’m not sure.

havokdj,

My second one was a Nokia 3310, the brick. I accidentally broke the LG and was given that by a friend.

mojo, in What are some green flags in a partner in your opinion?

My hobbies are crime

bionicjoey, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first 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

Logh, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

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

fckreddit,

I used Nokia N79. Nokia N series had some amazing phones.

TheGiantKorean, in What's a food you forget you like? Then you eat it, and wonder why you don't buy it more often?
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

Sweet potatoes. So yummy, just baked with butter and salt. I’m not sure why we don’t have them as a side more often.

JusticeForPorygon,
@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

I’m the exact opposite with sweet potatoes. I always forget that I don’t like them. I want to like them so badly, I mean come on, bright orange mashed potatoes! But Everytime I try to eat one I just can’t finish it. It’s weird .

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

I can see that - some foods looking way more appealing than they actually are.

IonAddis,
@IonAddis@lemmy.world avatar

Same here. I think they’re just too sweet for me, somehow? Which is odd, because I’ll eat things like acorn squash which get kinda sweet when cooked. ::shrug::

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Possibly the texture. Potatoes have a different texture than squash.

mwproductions,

I like them with a little miso. Or miso butter. Damn, now I’m super hungry.

TheGiantKorean,
@TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world avatar

Oh yeah, good call. That would be delicious.
