I must have switched to Nokia/Symbian before that became a thing. (That could run both native S60 and J2ME apps – basically infinite apps and games!)

The x65-x75 series ones, aka the "SGold" platform. I still have my CX75. That ELF loader patch was, without doubt, a pinnacle of patch engineering.

My next phone was a Nokia 5800, one of the last Symbian ones.
