My old Nokia 6820 is still the best texting device I have ever used. When you flipped the keyboard open during a call it would switch to speaker. So awesome!

That phone looks weird
My very, very favorite dumb phone (The SE T610):
I had the redesign of it, one opened bottle and the case was already broken.
The first phone I had was the 2110i:
It was followed by a Ericsson A1018:
I remember it was followed by a Motorola D520 for a very short time:
Then, had the 3210 and 3330 and then the 5510:
It's a 3310 with a redesigned case featuring a QUERTZ-keyboard.
It broke, I bought a 3410:
I traded it for a 7110, because it had a nicer screen, and a cool chameleon color:
I lost it in the school bus, I got an 3650 in blue then, the first phone I had which could play mp3s and even ogg - not even an iPhone without JB can do that. You were very limited to 256MB on the MMC, though.
This one broke, then I got the Sony Ericsson T630 above. That one broke too, I bought a N73 then:
This was followed by a Sony Ericsson C905, I still use it today because of its 8.1MP camera:
And now I'm using the iPhone 3G. I like all of them, as everyone of them had something that made them superior to other phones of that time, may it even be the Snake-Game on the Nokias. Anywhere in between I had Siemens (S6 and C35), but they were by far not as good as Nokias.
Long story short, my all-time favorite of the real dumb phones was the 7110.
This was absolutely the most rock solid phone I have owned. If I didn't throw it at a wall it would probably still work!
Most of my cell phone history (pre-iPhone)
You, my friend, are a phone whore.
My very, very favorite dumb phone (The SE T610):
I still have this. My second phone after the Nokia 8210. It was mothballed after I upgraded to an SE W810i. The leather case I kept it in tarnished the sides.
This thread reminded me of a hilarious article from Maddox. Why he hates the iPhone and the Nokia E70 kills it.
I hope it's ok to post links like this!

First phone was a Nokia 2190 with wood grain. Not a bad phone but it was very heavy because you needed an extended battery for it to stay charged very long.
Next phone was an Ericsson. I hated that the antenna was not retractable.
I then moved on to two different Motorola flip phones.
I don't remember what the first one was but it was in the late 1990's.
The 2nd one was a V500. I loved this phone and never had any problems with it.
I stayed with Motorola for quite a few years. My next phone was the original Razr. This was by far my favorite dumb phone until I dropped it in a cup of water. It was never the same.
I then upgraded to the Razr V3XX Platinum, which my step-dad still has and it works perfectly. I sold him this Razr when I bought a Blackberry Bold 9000.

Sony W550
Best phone I've ever had until I got my first iphone. I could honestly say I would gladly go back to it if my iphone died on me. I loved the design of it and it actually had a silly music program built into it where you can make songs from midi loops. The camera was also really good for the time and had alot of custom settings for it.

Nokia 8890 and Nokia 7260. These two phones still look very sleek by today's standard. I love Nokia in general. They're very user-friendly and DURABLE!!!
8890:
My mom bought this phone and used it for 3 years and I used it for another 3 years. It was THE smallest cellphone available when it first came out... forgot when... maybe more than 10 years ago... lol...
7260:
The phone that attracted the most eyeballs among all phones I've used (maybe because it wasn't sold in the US. I got it online)

I really considered this phone before I picked up the w810i. Too bad it had hardly any on-board memory for songs and no removable storage!

My favorite was the v60. It was awesome for it's time. Another favorite of mine was SE k790, last one I had before the original iPhone. Had an awesome 3.2 MP camera with xenon flash. IPhone's camera were inferior until iPhone 4.

I remember the k790. It was a little too large of a candybar for me, but the camera/xenon flash on it was real nice.
This phone served me well for 3 long years. It was built like a tank, took very decent photos at the time, and played AAC tracks from iTunes.
The built in LED flash/light was handy and easy to activate.
Also made a good hacky sack when I got bored, and the phone still works now.
