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.
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
A Nokia 3100 … it was the first phone I bought, and I kept it through college and beyond.
The thing was a beast :-)
128x128 pixel screen, with 12-bit RGB. No WiFi, no Bluetooth. Had some web access with WAP (no not that! “Wireless Access Protocol”). It did have a camera module though /rofl
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.
I wish phones would go back to being unique. I want a slider with a physical keyboard (like the HTC EVO Shift). My Pixel 6 Pros battery is showing wear already but there’s nothing on the market I feel is worth switching to.
I loved the early galaxies and the zero lemon batteries. They were ridiculously cheap, so you could have like 3 charged at any time. Then if you ever got robbed you could just say “e-waste!” And toss a dead battery at your assailants eyes.
