I've been using a Nokia 2780 flip phone instead of my Pixel 6 smartphone.
|
||
|
Here are my notes about it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# Good
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Smaller than my smartphone in most dimensions (but thicker) - easily fits into pockets
|
||
|
* Battery lasts multiple days
|
||
|
* Plays music
|
||
|
* Group SMS support
|
||
|
* Calendar with reminders
|
||
|
* FM Radio
|
||
|
* Connects to WiFi
|
||
|
* Call quality is excellent
|
||
|
* Can act as hotspot
|
||
|
* Modern web browser with JavaScript
|
||
|
* Email client
|
||
|
* Basic calculator
|
||
|
* Conversation starter: nearly everyone who sees it wants to tell me about
|
||
|
a fond memory of a featurephone they once used

# So-so
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Camera works fine
|
||
|
* Group SMS displays a blank subject before every message
|
||
|
* Google Maps
|
||
|
* It works!
|
||
|
* It tracks your position on the map
|
||
|
* You have to manually move to the next leg of each trip
|
||
|
* No "location sharing", people can't see where you are, and you can't see where they are
|
||
|
* Google Calendar Sync
|
||
|
* QR Code Reader in store (has ads)
|
||
|
* Podcast app in store (has ads)
|
||
|
* MMS (group texts, or photos) can take a few minutes to arrive when the phone is closed.
|
||
|
This may be a power saving issue.

# Bad
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Headphone jack doesn't detect speakers, only headphones
|
||
|
* No way to automatically mute sounds during "quiet hours" (like, when you are asleep)
|
||
|
* Predictive text input guesses one 4 means "g", not "I"
|
||
|
* Will not play FLAC files
