You can be disappointed you didn't get a smartphone while simultaneously not expecting one. Anyone who says different is too basic to have multiple feelings at once, or just an idiot.

The razor phone came out when I was in highschool, I didn't like flip phones and when my parents decided to drop the land-line and go with a cheaper family phone plan I got a pretty simple brick that could play mp3s with a dedicated external speaker, and could tune into radio frequencies with headphones. I thought that was neat.

I got my first smartphone in 2013 or somewhere around there.

I had my first (sort of) smartphone when I was 8. It was just €50 at Tesco, so yeah, I could save up for it.

Sort of - it was actually a 7" Android tablet with 3G modem that I used as a phone full-time. I still have the screen from it. I can't believe how small that feels now. I mean, my current phone has a 6.7" screen, albeit not at 16:9. Still, I remember it feeling huge.
I guess I was just ahead of time.

Kinda cool that your first one was one you procured for yourself though
