+1. I'm still using a Samsung Convoy 2 (2010) because the only thing it can't do is group texts. They come in as the MMSes they are, but I can't see who else was included. So far, in all my years of owning this phone, it's never caused something catastrophic to happen by only texting whomever started the conversation.
My car has navigation, so hailing a Lyft is not a thing I do and being constantly connected to social media is not a thing I desire.
The Convoy 2 has whatever Bluetooth was new in 2010 and can stream music to cars, BT speakers, etc. Its removable micro SD card and battery means I've got more storage than most iPhone users* and still only charge it about every other week.
Only Verzion tracks where I am--the phone is innocent, knowing nothing of our post-Snowden society.
Its halves are only a little thicker than an iPhone 6, but it's shorter than an iPhone 5, so it disappears into my pockets.
I really like it and have kept it after briefly trying both of its successors--the Convoy 3 was larger and looked worse, for no discernible reason, and the Convoy 4 is targeted strictly at old people. The 4 is a huge, nasty plastic thing with a slightly-improved camera, on paper, but somehow manages to run slower than the 2. Quite the disappointment.
*Buying music from Bandcamp, Amazon, Beatport, etc. instead of renting music from Spotify means you can listen to music without a 4G connection! Crazytalk, right?
