What's your favorite pre-2008 (released) or so smartphone, Sup Forums. I picked 2008 as the point 'cause that is when the iPhone 3G came out and the big change to iOS and Android really started to be on its way (in my opinion), you can pick some other point if you so wish.
Mine must be this, it might even be the supreme favorite of all time.

Does a N900 still count?
Blake Gonzalez
Kinda pushing it but whatever. It does easily count as part of a different "continuum" than Android/iOS/WP.
Lincoln Bailey
Totally.
I still have mine, I managed to run Wine on it, kek.
Anthony Richardson
is it worth the money today
Jayden Perez
For a fun thing to mess around with? Sure, it's like 50 bucks used anyways.
Joshua Wilson
Samsung Alias 2 was my dream phone growing up
Anthony Richardson
The Tmobile Sidekick was a beast.
Jeremiah Jones
yea I was thinking of picking one up to just mess around with linux and coding occasionally
Adam Morales
its a cheap device and has a decent thumb-keyboard and so on, yeah sure if you have an use in mind (either playing around or something specific like SSH)
its biggest drawbacks (if used as a main smartphone): lack of support in services/"apps", really pretty bad camera
also the microusb sometimes breaks and the battery life was never great so be prepared to acquire another battery unless the seller promises that it is practically like new
Blake Jenkins
Nokia N95. So much software for that time.
David Fisher
This little fucker
Michael Robinson
Phone keyboard should be portrait so as to enable one-handed operation in a pinch.
Angel Howard
When you close the lid of that one, the Nokia E90, it looks like this.
This is why the Nokia communicators were so great: you had both a "mini-computer" and a regular "just a phone" (albeit a bit of a bulky one)
Henry Kelly
There's only one choice.
Joseph Clark
The N82 of course
Charles Harris
Are you kidding? That buggy pile of shit is what killed Nokia as a serious player, worst phone I ever owned.
Asher Sanchez
My favorite
Logan Murphy
There are two fatal flaws with N95. No fast dormancy support, no push services.
If those two where available all the modern apps/services we have now could have been possible back in N95 era.
Brandon Hernandez
E80
Easton Davis
My mom wouldn't let me have a smartphone until 2013.

xperia x1 it had shitty microsoft mobile 6.1 but whatever had all bunch of stuff that was sick at the time
super high dpi screen - touchscreen resistive with cool touch pen arc slider backlit keyboard optical trackpad 4 way buttons around the trackpad gps, radio, could be used as wifi hotspot
3 mpx camera - touch autofocus, led flash front video call camera 256 mb ram
even without rom cooking all kind of shit was possible. it was simmilar to the htc tytn 2 so it was easy to run the htc interface. it would run early andoid os, could emulate windows 3.1 or some shit, there where good apps to emulate iphone interface - slide to unlock and music player.
and it had the panels after xperia x2 came out, the new x2 panel manager was ported to x1 and it was way better.

I forgot to say - this thing could also run ubuntu somehow but I never messed around with that
