what was your first smartphone?

What a great lineup! I loved the Storm series!

I had the Storm 2 which was better than the original. The Surepress typing worked really well.
You and i and I are in the minority I think though. Not many liked the Storm.

I do remember that the Storm was rather infamous around BlackBerry enthusiasts...

That looks awesome! I miss QWERTY phones.

Palm Treo 700w

Still have it around here somewhere(I tend to hoard my old devices). Was a fun device and I really liked the keyboard.

I miss these BlackBerry devices so much! This is a Curve model, right?

These BlackBerries were first rate in their day. And seriously great for typing on.

Nope, it's the model before the curve. I had this phone then went with the first edition Motorola Q. When the curve came out I went back to Blackberry.

Ohhh okay. That's awesome!

I agree with you one hundred percent! I am still superior with my BlackBerry typing than I am with virtual keyboard typing.

Blackberry 7130c

The 7100 series was the first to use the SureType keyboard, which I never could get with. My model was probably the worst BB ever made.

My first introduction to smartphones was a pocket PC Cingular 8125 MDA/PDA

It was a pretty cool device! View attachment 287198

Nice! I also had the 8125. I thought those WM devices were awesome and ahead of their time. I had a SlingBox at home and would watch TV on my 8125 w/the Sling WM app, a novelty in 2007 that others would always find intriguing.

I don't think I've heard of the 7130 C. Time for Mr.

Today's Blackberries are still better for typing than any touchscreen slab, imo

For my use personally, I'd have to agree with you.

Samsung Wave. It ran something called Bada but was rendered redundant when the Galaxy S came out.

Still have it but can't get past the pin code.
