The hourglass-like curve on it looks a bit strange. Wonder what it's like to hold.

        Normally Nokia phones (even ones made from HMD) have pictures showing what the interface looks like. This phone doesn't have any such pictures, because the interface is just as worse as counterfeit products.

            Mr.E30, 22 Jul 2026Yes, all Balkan and some of EU countries still using 2G and 3G... Why not using it cos you hav... more2G has security vulnerabilities that are addressed with newer cellular standards. Wikipedia's page on GSM has a section that goes over some general security issues with it.

            It's not an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" situation. It is broke.

                Good design and good color options. I had a feature phone before in the middle of the crowded smartphones. I have made it broken. This model looks way better than what I had before. I have no idea if this phone will compatible for music app like Spotify. It would be great to know such thing can be played in feature phone. Okay, it's just my personal interest, don't get me wrong, get me right instead.

                          You know what this would benefit from? Actual cameras we could use so we could video call on it. Or heck even proper Whatsapp integration.

                                    When the smartphone has like 100x more functions for not much more, might as well get that instead. The primary reason feature phones exist is cost.
