masquenox,

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

droidpenguin,

Curious what do you have now?

masquenox,

An old Alcatel.

pyrflie,

Still rocking a burner flip phone after more than a decade.

I won’t change until the network no longer supports them. Then I will likely go dark.

FriendOfaFriend,

Owned a whole bunch of Sony / Sony Ericsson phones for about a decade.

Last one before the Xperia for me was the Aino… Loved that thing.

Is it weird you can still get them?

Nokia 6630

MystikIncarnate,

I remember my first phone better than the last feature phone I had. First was the Nokia 5190

The last non-smartphone I owned was a Samsung I think. One of the first ones that supported media playback. It was a flip/clamshell design. After that it was a string of questionable choices until I got my first Nexus.

I had a strtrk phone (I think that was the name), which was a clamshell Windows Mobile phone and I really liked it but I went for a walk on a pretty warm day and got a call. After a long conversation, enough sweat got into the phone that it died. I also had the HTC touch, I think it was called. Anyways, it was a soap bar but slid sideways and had a qwerty keyboard, also Windows phone. I eventually picked up a Motorola milestone (other regions may know it as the Motorola Droid), which was similar to the HTC, but thinner, with a bigger screen, and it ran android, my first Android phone.

Then I eventually gave up on the hardware keyboard because nobody made phones with them that were any good, went through a few other HTC’s that were all Android and very forgettable, until I landed on the Nexus 4. I’ve been doing the Google thing since. I owned a Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, and 5X, as well as the pixel 1, 4 and now 7. Over the years, I’ve had secondary phones, usually iPhones, but not always, sometimes for work, sometimes just to have something different with me. I think I’ve used the 6/6 SE and one of the cheap ones… I forget which cheap one, but one of them.

Albatross2724,

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. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/31ed7864-9da7-4efb-b365-52583ea982d3.jpeg

Bathtubwalrus,

My last one was similar, but smaller screen. LG Rumor

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.

Ditto. My only hangup comes from how hard it is to find a 5G feature phone that works with US carriers.

f314,

If you can get by with 4G, you can take a look at the Punkt. MP02.

ramenshaman,

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

droidpenguin,

Do you still use an iPhone? I switched to Android after 4 years with my iPhone 5 and still use Android today.

ramenshaman,

Yeah I switched to Android after iphone removed the headphone jack. Sadly it was only a matter of time before Android followed suit. I had LGs for a while and now I have a pixel.

pete_the_cat, (edited )

I think it was the Alias 2 or 3

Eufalconimorph,

Motorola Razr IIRC. First smartphone was a Samsung Galaxy S.

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 also had the Alias 2. Great phone. Technically I still have it but it is inactivated.

I still have a flip phone. Nokia piece of shit on Verizon. Works well for voice but it's shit for anything else.

Fracturedfox,

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?

droidpenguin,

Yep! Could even use the tiny outside display as a viewfinder!
