what was your first smartphone?

[shivshankargpg]

Mine was a Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic. The phone was slower than an inebriated sloth on a monday morning.

I see your palm treo and raise you a Kyocera (Qualcomm) 7135 hybrid flip phone palm pilot.

Yes I was made fun of by some for having a computer in my pocket but now I just feel like I (and most of the people here) were on the right side of history.

Had one of these after my 6035. I have to say that the 7135 was probably one of my favorites.

My first smartphone was a Neopoint 1000 that I purchased in the summer of 2000.

In 2001, I went to a Samsung i300 which is still one of my all time favorites. It has been downhill since.

The Blackberry Pearl was my first one

Me too! It was bulky, but I loved it.

I think I may have kenorian and torbach1 - and even y2whisper - beat with a USR Palm Pilot (in the mid or late 90s) I guess my MicroTAC from 1990 doesn't even count as a dumb phone.

No phone though! First PDA is an entirely different question!

In 2009 I got a palm pre on Sprint. I loved it so much I used it for two years until it became too slow to tolerate, then I switched to Verizon for a pre 2. Got a pre 3 somehow, even though it was never officially released. Used webOS for 4 years and held out as long as I could. Went to T-Mobile and got a BlackBerry Z10 the day my contract expired because f Verizon. Switched to Android in 2016 because BlackBerry went googly and I had to accept that Android was the future.

The OS lives on in iOS and Android, too. Look at how much they've taken from it.

My first smartphone was the Samsung Galaxy Note II. My mom gave it to me shortly after my Nexus 7 (2012) broke back in December 2013.

Since I didn't have a contract with Verizon at the time, I just used Google Voice on it.

I used it for three years until I got my mom's Galaxy Note 4 in August 2016.

It was a really good phone until the S Pen broke and it started getting slow.

One thing that I remember the most about this phone was S Voice.

I remember talking to Galaxy a lot. Years before I used Cortana, Alexa and Google Assistant.

The original iPhone.

Mine was a Samsung Blackjack 2, a Windows phone around 2006.

 

[Morty2264]

That is amazing, OP! My first smartphone was a white BlackBerry Bold 9780. Loved that phone and still do! I still have it somewhere. I also loved how BlackBerry gave their phone four-digit numbers and had a few separate device lines (Bold, Torch, Curve). I only ever had Bold but I would've loved to have gotten my hands on a BlackBerry Torch. Keep waiting for them to make a phone like it in present-day.

Great thread, thanks for sharing!

Mine was the At&t Tilt aka the HTC Titan 2

WinMo 6 and all that!

First smartphone was a Blackberry Storm. Followed that with a Storm 2 that Blackberry gave me, before I finally tried a Samsung Fascinate to lead me into the Android era.
