I have a Lenovo A588T, selected as the cheapest smart "flip phone" I 
could find:

I purchased this after enrolling in an m-learning course, when the 
instructor asked what smart phone and tablet the students had. I was 
embarrassed to admit I didn't have either, just a laptop (which was not 
"mobile" enough). So I went out and bought the Lenovo phone and an XO 
tablet, for my studies:

Superseded by Ubuntu Touch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Touch

But it has not been exactly enthusiastically received. There is also 
Firefox OS for mobiles, also not that popular:
