    Honestly, if I didn’t need chat apps like Slack for my job I’d be pretty content with one of these. They’d still be good as secondary phones, but unless they can support chat apps (without other online apps like FB, IG, and even browsers - so good luck with that) they can’t be my only/main device.

      Yeah, same. I could live with a dumb phone as long as I can use WhatsApp and Telegram. In my country you just can’t live without WhatsApp. I was expecting KaiOS to get good but it’s not happening.

        I also had hopes for KaiOS. However, devices with this system cost the same as smartphones with a touch screen, but had fewer functions. In addition, this system had a number of other problems.

      That is seen as a feature by many people. A big part of why a lot of people use a feature phone — whether for a short jaunt or for their main device — is to disconnect. You’re still accessible by phone for important things, but you’re no longer beholden to the constant buzz buzz buzz of chat notifications rolling in.
