  1. I was hanging out with some friends and their kids.

    They love Mighty Morphin power rangers, 2D Zelda, and tamagotchi. What’s old is truly new.

  2. I’ve been looking for a dumber phone as well, but there are 3 or 4 apps I really need to get along with life.

    Think

    * banking app to pay bills,
    * government authenticator app to file taxes and other govt stuff,
    * authenticator app to login at websites,
    * optionally WhatsApp for family business

    The last one I can replace with sms if needed.

    If a phone like those classic nokia remakes would run on android, and let me install those 3 apps, I’d switch in a heartbeat. They may even be highly overpriced.

  3. Is that what I think it is? Is it the old fashioned, indestructible, always dependable NOKIA? Hell yeah!!!

    Edit: that’s the first cell phone I ever had in ’97.
