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 miss my Alias 2, best phone I’ve ever owned.
It was such a joy to text on it!
A Siemens S55. After that I moved to a Treo 270, and stayed with Palm until Nokia gave me an N900
That little camera module looks like it actually took decent pics based on the sample on the wiki. Esp considering it’s from 2002.
It did, but note that the linked picture is the full resolution of the camera. Also, the phone had very limited storage space, and the display was in no way suitable for displaying the pictures taken, so you just hoped for the best until you managed to check them on your computer.
The S55 got lost eventually, but the camera module should still be around here somewhere.
Nokia 3220 with the cool led lights on the side lol
I used that thing until it literally fell apart, and I did not treat it gently.

I had a predecessor of that (Samsung dual flip but no e ink buttons) that I lost while drunk. So I got the new iPhone 3g to replace it.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/attachments/general-classifieds/114261d1194963393-samsung-sch-u740-dual-flip-phone-verizon-ss1.jpg
I had this one shortly before that: https://forums.macrumors.com/proxy.php?image=http:%2F%2Fnews.cnet.com%2Fi%2Fne%2Fp%2F2005%2F042505samsung_phones.jpg&hash=72f2c8627e066462a633888642027e9f
I don’t member the exact model but I had an LG Voyager that i held onto for a long time… I did NOT want to give up my physical keyboard for the touchscreen keyboard so I held out as long as I could. If Samsung came out with a slide-out keyboard for smartphones I’d be on that shit right away.
I think about this all the time. I’ll give up being waterproof for a full-sized slide-out keyboard.
I’m to young for. feature phones. although my first phone was a wonderful 2010 HTC desire brown a high-end phone in its heyday with 576mb of ram and a 3.7 touchscreen and like with most older android smartphones this had an user replaceable battery headphone jack and are easy to root… They don’t make erm like they use to
I held out on a smartphone for a long time because I loved my Alias so much. That keyboard thing was cool as fuck.
Some flip-phone from Sprint, though I can’t even recall the name now. It had the ability to play text-based games and even snake! I think I was carrying a Palm Pilot near the end of that. It was an upgrade from the first brick I kept in my car for emergencies only. In 2004ish, I upgraded to a Siemens SX66 (Windows-based smartphone) and ditched the Palm Pilot. I continued to use Windows phones (I think I ended with an HTC Hero or something similar), until finally being convinced by borrowing a friend’s old iPhone to get one of those. Was on iPhone from 3gs until 6plus. I made the jump to Android when Pixel 6 Pro came out, and that’s what I still have today.
Another early 2000’s smartphone user. Whoop whoop. It seems to blow people’s mind that you could have a colour touchscreen smartphone years before the stupid iPhone was even invented.
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?
Yep! Could even use the tiny outside display as a viewfinder!
