I can hear the Lego pieces fall apart noise when you drop it and it all just falls apart 😂 but it is a Nokia so y'know you never know it could survive a nuclear blast
I'm considering making the switch as well, growing very tired of always being on my phone. Also, shout out to a fellow Utahn! I live in Provo hahaha. Thanks for the video!
Low key so many people don’t understand how grateful for the flip phone if the flip phone didn’t exist many other phones like iPhone 📱 and Samsung whatever model you got but look how far it came from that to the smartphones 👍🏼
Straight to the point, clear voice, nice video. I hope KAI OS improve their system performance and focus on improving feature phones in 2020s onwards. This phone is so cool, if only it has whatsapp, because all my friends and family gonna be mad if they have to pay for sms to communicate with me lol Also, love your adowableee cats
@@ohkadde6621 Some KAI OS feature phones does have whatsapp but it doesn't use the up down right left to navigate like old Symbian phones, it use cursor and the direction button use like mouse, its terrible to use. Sometimes whatsapp call doesn't connected and ring and some text doesn't receive. Too bad.
For music, try if it has the seeker client so tou can download the music directly from it. Its a client hosted kinda thing (torrent), a lot of flac files and high quality music dhared by the users
If you have the music files, you can load them onto the micro SD card and then transfer the card to the phone. I don't have this phone, but I am interested.
I have the 2760, which is basically the same phone but without the SD card slot and FM radio. I had the snow screen problem too, but I noticed it stopped happening when I removed some apps I had downloaded. Not sure if there was a true cause and effect. Sometimes technology works in mysterious ways.
yay this is exactly what i've been looking for from a review of this phone!! now that it's been a few more months have you seen any other notable issues arise in the os or with durability etc? :O
@@mei-fi3db thank you so much for the comment ! so in total i used the phone for 6 months, i use my iphone again now, i would say mostly because the os is faster. the nokia held up great tho. the os never ran super fast to begin with, but it didn’t get slower over time or anything. it just got frustrating personally haha. the battery life held up great. battery lasts wayyyy longer than my iphone still. one thing is i realized that i was definitely missing some texts from group chats cause sometimes they didn’t work i guess. so people were like “why didn’t you respond” and i was like “what i didn’t even see your text” 😅. my biggest annoyance was the email app cause while i didn’t miss any emails or anything, it was slow to load emails. i was also having trouble downloading photos that people texted to me if the photo’s resolution was too high. i believe this was always a problem but it seemed to be happening more frequently as time went on. had to tell people to email me instead lmao. so overall it was still a really good simple phone, it did take longer to do simple tasks like send a text or email so you’re better off just calling people haha. it was great for my mental health tho, and now i have “dumbed down” my iphone. i think everyone should at least try it. living the simple life 🤙
@@emo_gril2001 thank u so much for the detailed response!!! i can def see those issues annoying me as well but i think i'm still gonna try the flip phone life (if anything to make up for all the hours i've scrolled through r/dumbphones lol) & i'm glad to hear it helped your mental health - that's exactly what i'm hoping to get out of it :)
does it have voice to text typing? like i saw it looked like there was a google assistant voice typing thing on there are you able to talk and it can type out what you're saying in a text message?
no not in text messages, but in the google maps app yes it does have speech to text. which makes no sense to me cause if it can do it in google maps why can’t it do it in the texting app ? lol.
I just bought the Nokia 2660. I assume they are the same? Even before putting in the SIM-Card, it drove me crazy, because it did not have a button, so you could open it up with one hand. So every time I try to open it with one hand, I will touch the Volume button, changing the Volume either to the highest, or to silent mode. And the crazy thing is: you can’t lock the Volume button😫
it doesnt have lyft or bank apps. as for carplay i dont know for sure but i wanna say probably not since i dont think there is even a way to get the google maps to read the directions aloud. i was able to connect it to my car via blu tooth and play music but thats about it. hope that helps!
Thank you for the great video! nice to meet you, My name is Mikan Oshidari（忍足みかん🍊♥）, a Japanese essayist. I am publishing a book called [I want to stop being a slave to my smartphone]. I switched to a flip phone because of my smartphone addiction. It's good for your mental health. Some people say it's strange or that I'm in the minority, but I'm comfortable using a flip phone. But I'm afraid that flip phones will no longer be manufactured or distributed. I think it would be good if the benefits of flip phones were communicated more. Flip phones are necessary for mental health. Thank you for the wonderful video. I hope that your video will help as many people as possible realize the benefits of flipping.
sometimes i will receive a photo that is too high resolution and it wont open on my phone so i will have to have them email it to my computer instead. this has only happened like 3 times. i have not had issues sending picture messages yet
I have that exact same flip phone it’s just black I think it’s actually a very good Flip phone to use in 2024 Has 4G which means it’s gonna last for a really long time.
Idk if it's because of my age or what, but ALL of these reviews complain about texting on it and don't have predictive text on. When I was in school I could pull the phone out next to me and text without looking at the screen lol
people keep asking this and i feel bad cause i’m not exactly sure… i don’t see anything in the settings that says wifi calling, but other people (on reddit lol) have said it does have it and it depends on your carrier. i have never been able to use wifi calling on it (i have at&t), so i can’t say for sure, and if it does have that feature then idk how to use it. sorry not the best answer.
@@emo_gril2001 ok, I saw somewhere that there is an option that says "vowifi", which I'm not 100% sure is but I think it just means wifi calling. I'm not the best either lol. Thx for the reply.
In the uk we have the Nokia 2660 which looks the same as this phone but we have micro usb instead of usb c and the camera is VGA which is bad . Does not have google maps. Why can’t Nokia have the same phone here as the one in the US. It’s ridiculous
I think no. So far as I know, Nokia feature phones that has whatsapp only on Nokia Tough and Nokia 6300 4G but sadly Nokia 6300 4G now have problems with whatsapp :( so sad because I almost buy that phone, I love that phone :(
i’m not sure, i don’t know much about the cat phones sorry. i’m pretty sure they are very different tho, i’ve seen pictures and those ones are huge compared the the nokia haha
you guys got scammed! I live in india and I got the phone for about 48 $ without any discount. that aside its a nice phone but i kinda dropped it and the 3 button has to be pressed really hard to trigger it lol.
there are more apps you can download, mostly games and random stuff. no whatsapp on this phone unfortunately. there are other flip phones that have whatsapp i believe the cat s22 does.
@@yousuf_bzzz if you are asking can you import your contacts from google the answer is yes! i was able to do this very easily. when you first open the contacts app it will ask you to log into your gmail account and then all your contacts will show up.
the phone is supposed to have hotspot capabilities. apparently you have to activate it somehow in the settings. however i have looked multiple times through the whole settings app and can not figure it out, sorry.
@@emo_gril2001I read several times on Reddit that it’s an issue with certain carriers and that you can get it working by navigating to a certain web page. Don’t have the phone yet so not sure how that works either but several people mention this “trick”. Haha.

![6 Best Flip Phones to Buy in 2024👌 [don’t buy one before watching this]](/img/1.gif)
I wish all phones still had removable batteries
will have from 2027 I think, it's a law in the EU, probably will happen in the NA too
I can hear the Lego pieces fall apart noise when you drop it and it all just falls apart 😂 but it is a Nokia so y'know you never know it could survive a nuclear blast
In the EU, all smartphones will be forced to have removable battery.
Finally, someone talking like a normal person - as compared to those "National Tiles" type inflictors :)

Getting one soon
How much does your plan cost? Verizon charges too much for my flip phone plan.
mine is like $60 its part of a family plan tho
Sometimes I think to ditch smartphones and use dumb phone with simple messaging apps just in case.
