I had the Motorola RAZR flip TRON looking thing when it came out ~2004.
Loved it until my wife washed it.
It is not the systems they will install it is the STUPID, INCOMPETENT people running the systems they will install!! If the government TRIES to do anything you can bet it will be SCREWED UP!!!
The fricking government agencies with TOP NOTCH systems can’t even track a terrorist HOW MANY now have attacked us ON OUR SOIL all the while being on the intel radar!! I honestly don’t worry about the IDIOT MORON government successfully tracking ANYTHING!!!
We can only pray.
LOL! Your Right.
I guess their SmartWall told them to do so.
If only they were not so boring!
Too much of my life is on my iPhone. No way I could survive today without it.
I still have my Mitsubishi analog brick phone from the 80’s!
I’d love to turn that back on.
I hate the spy on ourselves devices we have to carry around now. Can’t believe how much privacy we have lost.
“everyone will be required by law to have a cell phone on their persons at all times”
I am so sorry, Officer, but I have Alzheimers and keep forgetting stuff.
Who are you again?

I'm running an S20+ now. Lots of 5G up in my area. There are a few places where I get a fallback to 4G service. The latest firmware update does a hard switch between my home WiFi and 5G. Early releases allowed both to work concurrently. It saves battery to be on the WiFi as I work in my basement office. The CDMA has to crank up the power to overcome my location.

My Samsung 7Edge (4G) is still going strong after almost 4 years - excellent telephone audio quality and a very good screen resolution.
The rounded edge is still cool, too.
I prefer my landline for long, intimate conversations. While my smartphone comes in handy, talking seems shallow.
Well........not again. (Old Smothers Brothers joke.)
Although there remains the problem of texting while driving...
Verizon offers flip phones and you can get unlocked ones to run on the Verizon network. They're 4G instead of 2G or 3G.
They're not as good as the older LG, Samsung, or Motorola phones but they do the job. Sadly, because they're 4G, the prices are a noticeably higher than the old ones.
Paper maps are available online and in book stores. I'd visit friends and with my $7 map I knew more about their town they they did despite living there for four years.
With GPS, people think Point A and Point B. With a map, they look at everything.
I've found a headset works better for long conversations but you can find phone handsets that connects to smart phones.
