I can't tell from the trailer, but if it has multiple input methods I'm 100% in. I've been looking for a smart dumb phone for a long time. But I enter text in a few languages regularly for family and friend reasons and can't easily give that up.
$500 :(
right?! i was thinking $79.99 by the looks of it.
If you can find an $80 phone that doesn’t drop every other call and won’t disintegrate in your pocket, more power to you.
If I can use Apple Music and voice-to-text, this might be worth a look.
I hope whoever pre-orders will follow up and let us all know how it goes!
I'm glad flip phones still exist - I am thinking of going back to one - but my ideal would be the Motorola Razr V3 upgraded to 5G with today's best screen tech. Anodized aluminum slim pocketable case with a great phone, take my money please
