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.
Motorola v551j

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 don't remember the name, but it was some Samsung phone with a relatively low resolution touch screen and a slide out keyboard. I got so good at texting with the slide out keyboard, god I miss those.
Man, I don't remember the exact model, but it was a newer black Nokia phone I think. I remember the one before it though, the OG Motorola Razr flip phone.
Wow. I totally don't remember and now you're making me wish I did. It was a red flip phone, but I don't even know what company made it.

Got my first smartphone in 2017. My first dumbphone in 2008. Late to both parties.
An LG KF600. It was pretty mediocre.
I was late to the cell phone game and never got a "nice" dumb phone. I had a crappy TracFone. Reception was okay. Texting was torture. Bought an HTC Droid around 2010-2011 and never looked back.
Nit sure what it was called, but I'm pretty sure that not only it's the last Qwerty keyboard phone i used, it's also one of the last phone Nokia sold in my country.
I know it was LG flip phone and it was red, but I dont know what model
Sony W980
I had a Motorola ROKR Z6, which was kinda like the RAZR, but a vertical slider, rather than a flip phone. It was ok, but eventually the dpad like, fell off or something. I don't remember exactly, but it just became unusable at some point.
samsung c6112 to samsung galaxy y s5360
Nokia E71 with the full QWERTY keyboard. Loved it, even though the keys were too small to comfortable use. I guess technically speaking that's still a smartphone so before that I had some Samsung flip phone, can't remember the exact model
I miss phones being like this sometimes
I had Nokia 2720 and I had ported DOOM to it.
It was meh. No OS updates in forever, and T9 sucks.
Alcatel OT606A with slide out keyboard
A Nokia 5310, before moving over to a ZTE blade gen1. Really liked the XpressMusic phones, and their proper headphone out and proper signal levels when using it. Trying to use the aux on car stereos with any following smartphones before my current Xperia 5 III was hopeless, since the maximum voltage levels were so low you had to turn the amplifier volume up to 11 just to hear anything...
Some kind of Sony Erickson phone, don't recall the model, or if that was the model name.
I had a Sony Ericsson W595i before my first smartphone (which was a Vodafone 845)
I loved Sony Ericssons, had a bunch of them, because they were extremely moddable through VKP patches. it ran Doom natively 😄
Samsung D900 was my last dumbphone. It was pretty cool. But my fav is still the Moto Razr v3.
Nokia E52 And before that Sony Ericsson W200 And even before that Mitsubishi M320
I also had the Alias 2, and then it became my mom's phone after I moved on to my first smartphone (HTC One M7). Loved that stupid double flipping thing to death, such a great design with the e-paper or w/e for the buttons so they could change for the different perspective / context.
Sony Ericsson k610i -> Samsung Galaxy S2
I really like the Galaxy. It was a really good size for a smartphone.
Sony Ericsson T700.
Nokia N75. It was an upgrade from a Sony Ericsson hand-me-down after my invincible Nokia was thrown out of the window of my car as it was being stolen (I called it and the thief answered… long story).
The N75 had a 2mp camera and MP3 playing, but tiny storage and I got a free iPod (the touch wheel one) with a college powebook around the same time. I used the N75 online once, to locate a restaurant one time, and it probably cost my $3-5 since I had no data plan.
This was a right before the iPhone 3G would make those affordable and launch the App Store. I bought that for my wife and we never went back.

I believe it was this guy, an LG Cosmos 2. I recall it being not great. But it was infinitely nicer to type on than any phone I've had since so there's that.
Nokia 1100
Probably Siemens C65 as my first smartphone was Siemens SXG75.
But later I got a Sony Ericsson K800 which is a feature phone, then I got a more mainstream smartphone Nokia N95 8Gb.
