I imported the 8110 4G from Singapore or Vietnam (got it off eBay) last year for like $80 US. The 4G doesn't work on most US bands so it's basically just a wi-fi device, but it was a fun thing to buy to try to play/hack around with. I had visions of using it as a controller of sorts for some IoT/smart home stuff, but haven't done much with it. KaiOS is interesting, but from a pure usability POV, going back to T9 is terrible. Simple acts of logging into services is genuinely painful -- which makes it a fun toy but absolutely not anything I would use for anything other than hacking/ROMs/potential IoT stuff. I did take the 8110 4G to Europe/Asia this year to use as a cheap way to get a hotspot overseas (eSIM on iOS for dual-SIM stuff was just rolling out and since I often still need to use my actual phone number, I have to pay the $10 a day for .5GB of data from Verizon plus whatever the pay as you go SIM costs.). With this, I just bought SIM cards with big data plans and used it as a hotspot with my laptop/iPad/iPhone)
