Anyone have tips on some good US flip phones that work with modern networks (4G)? In a perfect world, with GPS (but not required)?

- dqv 8y agoNot any that I can think of :( If you need it for the GPS, then that's just how it is -- there's no point in stressing out to find a basic phone that has GPS. Now that I just have a basic phone, I print directions before I leave. That doesn't work for everyone though.

- fastbeef 8y agoFrom the few reviews I managed to find it seems like hot garbage. Shame, I had high hopes for it to be my daily driver. Looking into Punkt Phone and/or Light Phone 2
- upofadown 8y agoWith 2G going away everywhere finding a usable feature phone to use on new networks has become a desperate question. One problem is that display technology seems to have actually regressed. The original transflective monochrome displays were viewable under any light conditions and consumed very little power. So backlit colour displays require a flip phone form factor just to protect the keys from being pressed and turning on the display all the time. The Nokia 3310 3G is a good example of getting this wrong.
