I had a flip phone-it was 3g-didn’t have a lot of bells and whistles. They discontinued service in dec 2020.
The new flip is a 4g, and it has a lot of bells and whistles. Too smart for me. However, it does have the Presidential Alert which the old one did not. I expect it also has all the bugging crap. I know it has a road map feature, which I have not tried to figure out.
I’m on my 2nd flip phone, have had it for probably 10 years. It’s 3g, and an anonymously purchased TracFone, which I hardly ever use (got it for traveling, which I seldom do anymore) so it has around 8000 accumulated minutes on it, also bought from non-Tracfone sources. Fewer than 25 people know the number, and also know not to call me on it if they want me to actually answer. Essentially a burner, except that the fact I’ve had it so long doesn’t give me such illusions. ;) No bells and whistles, but I like it that way... if I need to take pictures, I have my old palm-sized Canon PowerShot...

Today, Griffin sits in a jail cell denied bail.
Prosecutors charged Griffin with one minor count of trespassing as part of the Justice Department’s sweeping investigation into the events of January 6. Griffin, who is a county commissioner in New Mexico, never entered the Capitol but investigators scoured his social media account to find evidence that he was “well within the restricted area” of the building.
Griffin did not assault a police officer or break any windows or even steal an important leader’s laptop. His real crime, of course, is that he’s a supporter of Donald Trump—and his real threat to society, according to U.S. prosecutors and a federal judge, is that Griffin dares to doubt the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. (In his post-arrest interview, Griffin told the FBI “the election was stolen.”) ...SNIP...
