Unihertz still makes fun phones. I've been using a Jelly 2 [0] and I'm getting the Titan Pocket [1] in September (assuming it ships. They were right on schedule with the Jelly 2). I don't use my phone much outside of phone calls, text and casual browsing so I can't speak much to how well they work with more mainstream apps, but they work well for me.

  Hopefully the Jelly 2 works a lot better than the Jelly Pro. I bought one last year for work as I was finding it too stressful to use my personal phone for on-call, something that I could easily carry anywhere and cheap enough that I didn't mind it thrown in a drawer when I wasn't on-call. What I found is that the Jelly Pro's performance was so bad that apps often couldn't send notifications properly, even for the stock Dialer app. You'd have to open the app and then you'd receive notifications that you missed 5 calls. This happened so frequently I couldn't use it as an on-call device. I had all the OS updates installed as well, and no non-stock apps installed.

    I haven't had any issues like that. I severely underestimated the difficulty of typing on a touchscreen that small though. Portrait mode is impossible, landscape is usable but it's all keyboard, nothing else is really visible, which is why I decided to try the Titan so soon after getting the Jelly 2.

What Nokia got right that no phone ever seemed to after was being able to turn on the torch strictly with buttons. Can do it entirely by touch without flutzing with the GUI. I think it was to hold the bottom left and top right key and ON it goes.
