Define smart.
Last generation of sony ericsson java keypad phones had app store, desktop widgets, global filesystem and global clipboard, making it smarter than iShit.
Isaiah Gomez
>pre-smart era phone
You mean a phone?
John Lopez
SE k800i.
It was my last non smartphone. Android phones of it's era and few years after were piles of shit.
Aiden Moore
I hated them all.
I need some phone with some arcane bullshit input method that actually lets you type as fast as with a keyboard while being portable.
Ethan Nelson
LG G4011. Spent so much time playing blackjack (the only game) and the bunny girl was my first waifu.
Bentley Morgan
You know what he means you autist. The iShit touchscreen im-so-connected :3 stuff.
Alexander Richardson
the startac series looks perfect.
Landon Sullivan
literally fit in the change pocket of my jeans. still have it somewhere.
Liam Smith
Nokia 5110. Good size in the hand and a two week battery life.
Adam Cox
Nokia 3220 gives me hand orgasm every time I think about it
Cooper Williams
Nokia 8890, t28 and Nokia 3390.
Henry Turner
I loved my i870.
The popular at the time Nextel walkie talkie chirp thing was great.
That's what all the cool kids were doing.
Ayden Lopez
I had facebook in Opera Mini on non-touchscreen phones and truly felt like im-so-connected :3
Adrian Morales
Still have it somewhere. I should switch back.
Jacob Martin
The only correct choice.
Logan Lee
I wish I could still use mine.
Ethan Lewis
my iphone 5 of 4.5 years bricked on me and I decided to move away from smartphones. Got an alcatel go flip. DO NOT BUY THIS. The s/w is very poorly written. It changes display brightness on its own sometimes. The T9 dictionary doesn't learn and misses some common words like 'home' too. Please suggest a current and decent flip phone (no MotoZ). I just want the non-smartphone things done right. like a decent keyboard software, contacts management. I don't plan to use LTE,3G,wifi or anything to connect to internet on my phone. Don't care about games either. Just pure phone call and text and some style to it.
Jackson Hernandez
my current phone
Ian Campbell
i live in Colombia
Zachary Morgan
Literally your pic, got a T28s back in 2000 and when that shit broke I just got another.
Austin Gonzalez
For pure calls and texts the Razr series was fantastic. For treating a phone like a real Linux machine, Android wins.
Brayden Diaz
The one where my flip phone could play street fighter 2
Like, c'mon it's fucking street fighter two
Angel Fisher
It was perfect back then.
Java VM + Camera + Email + MP3 player.
Isaiah Hill
Nothing beats the 5310
Cameron Fisher
this
there are days I wish I could get rid of my smartphone forever and just have this back
Carter Reyes
Why the fuck was that a fad?
And why did I want one?
Christopher Cooper
Overrated trash. Motorola OS was a piece of shit that was behind anything anything Sony Ericsson and Nokia had at the time.
Adrian Flores
Deep Abyss blowed my mind back then
Isaac Morales
runs on android
Jonathan Ramirez
Literally the dumbphone equivalent of the iPhone. Battery life was trash, UI was slow, cell reception was Motorola tier, and had shit hardware. It only got popular because the looks.
Carson Hernandez
Nokia 6800 for me. Texting was getting more affordable with 100 texts per month plans for around $5.99, and T9 just wasn't cutting it for me. Even after opening and closing it thousands of times, the click is still study and satisfying.
Jack Howard
that's not android, its some Kai OS
Angel Kelly
My love
Christopher Hall
this was my first phone. ended up getting replaced by a blackberry, followed by an android phone
Sebastian Mitchell
The Sony CD5 is one i have fond memories of, the jogdial control for the menus was very quick and handy. An asshole on the street stole it from me when i was 15
Jacob Sanchez
BASED
Zachary Lopez
Such a shame it stopped working
Zachary Jenkins
Dylan Parker
Hunter Fisher
Anyone know if this would still work in the UK?
I have no idea about all the bands and all that other nerd shit
Owen Cook
HAHAHA
Sure kid
Jaxson Sanchez
playing gb emulators on K770
the joystick broke though
and microsd card or we stopped working
piece of shit, still very aestethicily pleasing compared to some of its contemporaries
John Hughes
lol mine had a dead mobo in a month, went to repair for another month then died after 2 months. Fuck Siemiens and their sliders.
Elijah Thompson
I own this phone you nigger. Alcatel GO flip runs Kai OS.

Sweet, sweet memories of N-Gage from back in the day. Though, where does the cut off point for "smart" phone go? N-Gage has Symbian 60 which supports installing 3rd party software and I used it as such back in the day. Also used it to browse the internet, use IRC and play Pathway to Glory in multiplayer over GPRS, which was kinda mind blowing back in the day.
Josiah Gonzalez
My current phone W995
Connor Adams
There is a disturbing lack of Alias in this thread
Angel Mitchell
Might be a bit of a stretch, I don't know if pic related would be considered a smartphone or not. By today's standards, it was an absolute shit smartphone. Trying to use the internet on it was slow and clunky as hell. Fortunately, back then, Sprint let me cancel the data part of my plan after the first month, which I promptly did. As a Palm Pilot that just happened to have phone and SMS applications built in, it was actually pretty great. While it was thicker than phones today, the other two dimensions were much smaller. Of course, this meant a small screen and keyboard. But Palm OS didn't have much support for anything more than 320x320 anyhow, so it was okay. And the tiny keyboard was actually surprisingly easy to use, even for my sausage fingers.
Camden Stewart
And if that doesn't count, I had pic related before that. Liked it a lot.
David Hughes
This. I miss when phone had dedicated multimedia buttons. Nokia XpressMusic series were awesome.
My 5130 doesn't work anymore sadly.
Aiden Baker
>Nokia e61i
I still miss mine.
Christopher Ramirez
We used Mig33 to organize Vampire the masquerade games on a private server with code to dice in 2004. All on symbian phones. I still have a symbian Samsung phone around and use wep.getjar.com to get apps for it.
Camden Price
erikofon
Adam Young
this, best phone i ever had.
Kevin Nelson
Flimsy piece of fashion fad trash.
There was a rule here that it couldn't be the only phone in the house, it was so unreliable.
Nicholas Brown
Looks a lot like my old buttinski. Same color and all.
Mason Brooks
Nokia 6030, had it for 12 years from 2005 to 2017.
Jackson Gonzalez
Nokia 5210, best phone ever.
Jeremiah Moore
>t. didn't own one
Jace Bailey
Current and best phone
Hunter Cooper
These were pretty cool
Joseph Jenkins
Samsung Upstage: business in the front, party in the back; its basically the mullet of dumbphones
Brandon Russell
Pic related is my favourite, a touch-screen phone prototype dating back to 2002 which was one of the first mobile phones ever to have on screen keyboard, motion control detection and swiping interface
Connor Diaz
Hands down the best phone released pre-smartphones. I am stunned it hasn't had a single mention in over 70 replies.
Jaxson Butler
Joshua Martin
I second this.
Running Asphalt GT 3, Miami Nights, New York Nights and Gameboy Emulator was the shit.
Also the double-direction slide was really ingenious
Jonathan Jones
thats because it is a smartphone
Christopher Morales
The best phone ever made
Elijah Gomez
Easily pic related. I miss the shit out of the old phones. There is nothing comfier then dialing number on one with that sound of
>tshshshshszzzzzzzzzz

The receiver was comfy to hold and fit great wedged between shoulder and ear.
Also having one around the house was nice because you always knew in a worse case scenario break in you could just grab the whole phone by the handle and beat the shit out of the attacker with it if you needed too.
