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.

I wouldn’t call that a dumb phone. It had a full web browser and the ability to side load apps.

Decided to finally look at the Wikipedia for smartphones and the sidekick and blackberry were both “early” smartphones.

Look at us early adopters!

Blackberry pearl is a smartphone, at least according to Wikipedia. I’ve never used it, but I’d say all blackberries were smartphones.
