+I'm still using the Light Phone 2.
+
+They got rid of the percent button on the calculator,
+which was bonkers and didn't work like any other calculator's percent button.
+I know how to multiply by 1.20, so I wasn't using it anyway.
+
+My wife has one coming in a few days.
+She got us both these Lemur leather cases,
+which hold a few cards.
+I put my driver license,
+a printout of my medical insurance card,
+the Tesla key (which is an RFID card),
+and a credit card in mine;
+I no longer carry a wallet.
+
+It crashes sometimes: I reboot it.
+One time the voicemail icon was stuck on
+until I had someone else leave me a voicemail:
+once I deleted that, the indicator went away.
+
+Mostly it's just a low-drama thing I carry around to get phone calls
+and calendar alerts.
+I also use it to listen to podcasts on my bluetooth earbuds
+when I'm walking the dog home from dropping
+my wife off at work.
+But mainly, I don't think about it at all,
+which is nice.

+Jr has given up on the Nokia, I think.
+It would get stuck trying to receive text messages once in a while,
+and need the SIM card put into an Android phone to get everything moving again.
+
+The fact that no Nokia 2780 reviews mention this makes me think the reviewers use the phone for a couple days,
+write the review,
+and then stop using it.
+That's a shame.
