Me too. Built like a tank and it does what I need which is basic communication. Well, that and a nice checkers game. LG VX8300. I've had it for 10 years and wouldn't trade it for anything.

For years Nokia struggled to make a smartphone that captured the world’s imagination. On Sunday the answer finally came from an old classic.
The Nokia 3310 feature phone, first released 17 years ago and a first-time mobile phone for millions of people around the world, is coming back to the market a little shinier and just as robust as before.

Does a person have to take the snake?
Really? The cat video business has really progressed over the years. Your loss...
This hate of cats make no sense to me. I love cat, depending on the sauce, of course.
I used to swear by my flip phone. Then I discovered my job productivity as an industrial electrician was at least trippled by using a smart phone. I can take one picture of cabinet wiring and I have instant prints for rewiring.
Me too. All I nee a cell phone for is to make PHONE CALLS. Everything else is superfluous.
Beam me up, Scotty.
2.5G? I don’t think any U.S. phone system will support that.
The modern phone is indispensable to men getting a little older like me.
I take pictures as I disassemble anything, instant instructions for putting it back together later.
Driving in a new city, an immediate codriver that knows every street and current traffic conditions.
No time to read a book, listen to it while driving.
Want to show off pics of the new grand kid, new ones constantly available.
Want to figure out what that mountain is?, point the camera at it and a caption pops up over it.
Want to know if you will need an umbrella, weather always available. I don’t need to watch 20 minutes of inane local news heads to get the 2 minutes of weather that I need.
I could go on.
I hate making phone calls, if that was all my phone did, I probably wouldn’t bother.
You’re about as funny as Ex-Lax in a diarrhea ward, and less original than the joke I posted, which I first heard in kindergarten. Methinks you need some new material.
I’m an industrial electrician too. My phone is invaluable for taking pictures and videos. I can send a video to an OEM and they can analyze what’s happening knowing all the ins and outs of the machine. I can use my calculator that’s on it. I can document failures.
I can’t imagine how many times I wished I had one twenty years ago. I can load prints on my phone, etc.
Just wait ‘till I get started! :-)
I even copy rungs of logic out of a program I like and paste them into another program file. 5000 is text base tags and consistent nomenclature is very important.
My first actual-use cellphone was a flipfone. I liked and would probably still be using it, but the keys were small and the screen was almost unreadable.
After a couple of upgrades over the years, I currently use an MOTO E.
I make few calls and do most of my ‘internetting’ on the computer. I seldom use any of the ‘extras’ on the smartphone. I probably use TrueCaller more than any application — it weeds out spam calls.
Nokia returns with 3 Android smartphones to challenge Apple, Samsung

I understand cats are starting to unionize.
Heaven knows what that will lead to...as they are very clever critters.
We’re looking at lake lots out in the boonies. First thing I do at each lot is pull out the phone to see if there’s coverage. If not, we keep going. (To be fair, both my Android and my wife’s Apple have to be no coverage.)
I’m smart enough to know if the clouds are ominous, to come in out of the soon to be rain. I took apart the vacuum cleaner yesterday and put it back together without pictures. And it worked. Concentrate on driving rather than zoning off into a book or music. I don’t want pictures of any of the family floating around the internet for pervs to obsess over. A mountain by any other name would be as tall. Denali/McKinley, what’s in a name. I don’t need anything but a cheap old flip phone that’s used maybe twice a year.
