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.

The last phone I had before I got an Android phone was an LG EnV2. I still have the thing, it still turns on though no networks support it and the battery is toast. Sometimes I just hold it in my hand for a few minutes because it’s just such a nicer thing to interact with than my S10e.
I don’t really count it as a “dumb phone” though. I had some Samsung slider before that that really was a “Camera phone.” Effectively no web browser, no app ecosystem at all, you could barely get the pictures it took out of it. The EnV2 was USB, there were games and things you could get for it, it had some email and web capability.
Then I got my LG Ally phone running some android version from before they started naming them after sweets, and it’s all been downhill from there.
Ugh. I had some kind of old Samsung flip phone in the late 2000’s and I had a picture on it of my ATV hanging upside down in the top of a tree. Easily 20m high. But I had trouble getting the pic off the phone, and now the phone is long gone.
Like they seriously thought “this camera is 100% for MMS messages, no one will want to keep the photos they take.”
