Who here's still using a flip phone? I held out for years before getting a smartphone and I'm thinking about making the switch back. Anybody else?

I am at the point that I don't believe "smart" phones exist, only stupid users. I get more frustrated with mine everyday.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I have a flip phone and it's all I need. I do my other stuff as well as photos on an Amazon fire tablet.

I want rid of my smart phone. A co worker and me were talking to a client about Katz deli in New York and next thing you know, Katz deli shows up on my friends FB feed. It’s dumb

Yeah, I was just deleting some apps and saw that Samsung gave me a bunch of new AI BS in the last update. Microphone and location permissions automatically turned on without asking. I'm done with it.

I also would like to get off the smart phone merry-go-round. Wife made me get one when she was in South America so we could talk for free. Have never really caught on to how they work.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I've got one of those Kyocera military grade flip phones. They'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

It talks, it texts, it takes pictures. It does NOT connect to the internet.

I do not own a cell phone of any type. I have a land line if I need to call someone or if they need to call me.
