What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?
I rocked a Samsung Alias 2 for 4 years before I got an iPhone 5. The e-ink keyboard was awesome how it changed when you flipped the screen open to portrait or landscape.

BattleGrown, Is Nokia 5230 a smartphone? It didn’t feel very smart

This beast. Yeah, it has an mp3 player in it so I could put all my tunes from Kazaa on there.
BillMurray, (edited ) Motorola V635i
Karyoplasma, Sony-Ericsson J110i. Still have it somewhere.
norealme, I miss my nokia n80. It was not too dumb.
Patawagon, 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.
ExfilBravo, I miss slide out keyboards. Touch typing is trash bro.
mkhopper, 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.
tslnox, 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)
UdeRecife, Got my first smartphone in 2017. My first dumbphone in 2008. Late to both parties.
tipicaldik, An LG C1300. I carried that thing for several years. Never had to replace the battery and it would still go 3 days on a charge when I finally switched to an iPhone 3
CADmonkey, I can’t for the life of me remember what it was called, or who made it. It was a phone with a full keyboard, and instead of sliding the keyboard out it opened like a little laptop. When it was closed, it was a shiny silver blank rectangle with a display that would shine through when a call was made or when someone called me.
There were so many cool unique phones before Basic Rectangle With Button took over.
GiddyGap, Nokia 8210. It was small and awesome. It was before small became lame.
EvilEyedPanda, Dude I loved my Envy 2, played so much Tetris in the bathroom at work!
JackbyDev, I forget the name but it was the same style at the LG FlipShot.
