Maybe not S40 exactly but there are still plenty of "dumb" phones.
It was only 3 years ago that smartphones started to outsell dumb phones [0]. In America, there are still ~24 million "dumb" phone shipped each year [1].
They are still around, people do still use them.

- codedokode 10y agoI have a "dumb" phone but I don't expect it to be able to run a XMPP client. Even if it could, it's screen is too small and there are only numeric keys.
