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.

Nokia N95 and I'd probably still be using it if I didn't decide it was a great idea to go swimming with my clothes on.

Nokia n95 is a smartphone, not a dumb phone. It has Symbian OS, you can install apps, copy/paste, browse internet. I used to have the 8gb one, it has more capabilities than the first iPhone.

Yep, it was a great phone and I had it as my last too. Not a smartphone in our current understanding, but still close to a dumb phone and with great functionality. Can't remember what happened to mine, but my dad got it reconditioned and used it for a while after me until he got a modern smartphone too
