Just did a search for “dumb phone 2024” and the Nokia 2780 was one of the results. Honestly, I’m thinking about trying one of these for myself: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLDZDN9R
According to the reviews, it does have hotspot capability, so that covers my use-case where I’d just pull out my laptop anyway. I can also keep my old phone around and connect over wifi when I need it (it’d just live in my bag rather than my pocket).
It’s hilarious to me that, several years ago, I always had to have the latest flagship smartphone and now I’m drooling over a Nokia flip dumb phone 😆
Thanks, yeah, I remember looking at that and at the Nokia 225. They are possibilities but I really want something more like a 1990s phone or even a mobile version of a 1950s desk phone. Basically no controls except physical buttons, no Internet, etc. Many 2g phones were like that but the 2g network is dead now. Oh well.
Flip phones always break at the hinge after a while, btw.
