I've never owned a smartphone. I have a $12 prepaid flip phone. I will have to replace it soon as Verizon is going to eventually shut off access to the older phones. My only complaint is using a T9 keypad to text, but I rarely text. I might go with a PinePhone if I can find a way to strip it down to almost no apps. Bonus points if they have an engineering firmware that displays cell site/sector debug/handover information.
