I used to have an Alcatel. It was brilliant thing. Used to have currency convertion with very little effort.Then a tiny Samsung flip phone, not quite the smallest made but near to. It was the latest thing and so pretty. I reckon that could pass todayI guess my current one is a dumb phone because I bought it for 3 when it was the cheapest tarrif and now 3g has been turned off it's just calls and texts which gives me a very quiet life

I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

The Doro 6030 Flip phone - a bit overpriced as it's sold as a niche market 'elderly phone' due to how easy it is to use with the big spaced out buttons, emergency call button and flip open to answer etc.0

Nokia 2610 as a birthday present when I finally gave in to the march of technology. Stood me in good stead for over 10 years until the battery failed. I could have replaced the battery (& seriously considered doing so) for a fraction of the price of my first (cheap) android but decided to bite the bullet & go smart. 2 months later when lockdown kicked in, I was glad I had.
Still miss that Nokia though.0
