Who's got the lamest phone?

[crumsnatcha]

This is my current phone, the LG LX160:

I've had it for over 2 years... When bored, I read my notes (limit: 20), check the scheduler (riveting remembering that time I needed an oil change), and slowly text, dreading having to type any S's or Z's and push the same button 4 times... It's also got a nice little habit of rebooting itself, whether I'm in the middle of typing a long message or not even touching it. Upgrading from this piece to the beast that is the Evo is going to be a GIGANTIC leap.

What kind of dumbphones are other people ditching?

A Samsung SGH-x497 that's way beat up. Think feline toothmarks on the antenna. All I remember for certain is I had it before I found my fiance, so >3 years.

WoW! this is goin' to be a giant step up for you guys.

The last phone I purchased was a Motorola Q. It was replaced with a Q9C about a year ago by Assurion.

Samsung m520.

I've had to replace it every 5 months because of Flex cable in the slider tearing and lcd screen just turning white. I <3 insurance.

Samsung M520 here too. I haven't had any issues with it over the past 2.5 years though. In fact, I will miss the compactness as this was the first phone that fully satisfied my desire for sleek pocketability. Before that I had a few clamshell style phones. I also had Opera on it so it was highly portable and I could still jump on the internet. I don't have any complaints about it other than the screen size being too small but then again it wasn't like it was a touch screen or anything.

I realize that the Evo might be taking a step back in terms of pocketability but I'm willing to take the risk and for me the time is right to make the jump to a smartphone. The pricing on smartphones today is much more reasonable and the whole smartphone scene (with the Android market and open APIs) is really expanding the possibilites.

LG vx5400 for me...typical cheap flip phone with a bunch of scratches. Three years old.

I win. I have a can with string attached. No cell until I find a new job.... Soon as I do, EVO here I come!

 

[reallynotnick]

I have an iPhone 2G, I mean common it's freaking 2G! People are now using 4G, I'm a whole 2 generations behind! ;P

 

[somnambulus]

Sorry, this was too tempting

TMobile Dash (original version). I do have a hacked WinMo 6.5 ROM on it at least. I've had it for 2 years and it was already on the market for a few years before that.

Samsung Behold.... They call it a Smartphone but it's just a glorified dumb phone.

 

[Brickwalker]

RAZR V3 since 2005.... from Cingular haha; its still holding up

[audiofx2]

Put some shellac on that and it will last another 10 years!

This is truly the phone I am using until my EVO arrives, and yes it is pink.

I do believe I win

 

[habitual.line.stepper]

I sold my iphone 3g 2 weeks ago for $400, so I've been using my old original Razrv3.Then I found my Samsung blackjack in a box in my closet last Wednesday so now I'm using it instead.

 

[evoq]

I win. I have a can with string attached. No cell until I find a new job.... Soon as I do, EVO here I come!

Nope, I got you beat. I don't have even a can-with-string. I just yell really loudly.

Just kidding. I have a BB Curve 8310 with blazing speeds of up to 50 kbps. And that's on a good day.

 

[some.devil]
