I think this flip phone would still sell today if they would make it.
I was in a retro mood recently and actually looked at a flip phone to buy and the cheapest I could find in my country was about the same price as a low-cost Android. So, no buy.
The guys selling under the Nokia brand are also rejuvenating old products but they are going too far: I don't want a Nokia with a color screen, better graphics and an app store for games. I would want precisely a black and white (or e-ink!) display, no external apps whatsoever and no game included by default. There should be no reason to fiddle with a retro phone.
- sampl 8y agoI used an old-style phone a few years back. Some things I had forgotten about: - syncing contacts to the phone is near impossible - typing on t9 is slowwwww - setting up MMS etc is a PITA - no apps even for things like driving directions, simple web searches, voice recordings, Spotify
- bsder 8y agoI would prefer an old school "candybar" phone with a modern interface with the front being a touchscreen. Basically, an Apple watch in a slightly larger form factor that is an actual phone.
- sien 8y agoWhere I am in Australia these things sell: https://www.binglee.com.au/tech/phones/3g-feature-phones/konka-u3-feature-3g-mobile-phone https://www.binglee.com.au/tech/phones/3g-feature-phones/kon... I bought one for my mum. It's not bad. When I bought it was one of the last ones and the guy in the store said they sell out regularly. It's popular with older folks. So flip phones do sell in 2018.
