Great battery life, awesome display, great call quality, and awesome keypad.
Agree. I had the same one before switching to a Razr.
What was your favorite "dumb phone" you ever used?

Sony Ericsson had me hooked for a few years with their Walkman line. This was before the first iPhone. I really liked my W800i and then the K790a came out and I had to have that. Nothing I've owned so far has topped it in terms of night photos. You just can't beat a xenon flash. After that phone I started to carry iPhones.

Had this one too. It was a pretty sweet phone when the antenna wasn't snapping off, which was all the time.

Was just thinking that myself, at the time it felt thick but not that think. It's over 2 times thicker than the iPhone 4 and like 2.5x thicker than the SGS2Whoa! That thing is THICK!

how does a "dumbphone" have email and us 3G?
one of my favourites was the springloaded snap covered nokia 7110
the real matrix phone
interesting titbit, the real phone used in the matrix was the 8110 but it was not springloaded, so anyone wanting to recreate the button activated spingload action from the movie had to get the 7110

Oh yeah, my first phone!
You couldn't lose it, it had a great 2 lbs feel to it, and it had about 26 minutes of talk time. It was developed as the first effective throwing phone so if you got mad, you could chuck this thing at your target and take them out.
Seriously speaking though, the first bluetooth phone that I got in the Executive package was the Ericsson T39m. It was the very first bluetooth phone in the world and I was very excited to get it in it's nice velvet-lined wooden box. It also came with the first bluetooth headset. It was just awesome back in the day. Both of these phones are firsts in 2 categories and it was great to have bleeding edge tech.

This was a fantastic phone, extremely cool to have one back in 2005.

However, this was my absolute favorite phone besides the iPhone 4 I just got. Such an amazing, innovative design, wow I loved that phone. Too bad that Microsoft bought the company and completely destroyed it. I can't get over how much I loved that phone.

My first cell phone
followed by this ericsson, I think it was one of the first cell phones with a color screen.
and for giggles, anyone remembers N-Gage? lol
My first blackberry, (although the 1st blackberry was just like this, but not color)
And everyone and their mother had the infamous RAZR at one point or the other. I loved mine.

I love my dumbphones
These two were my most favorite:
and this
I definitely think I liked the Sprint phone much more but that might be possibly due to the fact that was my first cell phone. I still have it in the basement somewhere, but the Samsung, which was pretty sick, got destroyed by being thrown into a pool.
