As title states, are here any users of those models? I’m thinking of buying a cheap flip phone to switch between my dumb smartphone and flip. The problem is, I am located in Europe, therefore not that many “dumb” phones work here due to band support and general disinterest of public in those models.

Curious how they perform for calls/SMS and battery life. Hotspot would be neat as well, though it is not a requirement (thus I’ve added 2660 to my personal list)

    I’ve used the 2720 and it’s pretty good. Battery life will be nothing like the old days since it has 4G to contend with. Call quality and hotspot if necessary is decent but is a battery drain. The camera, like most dumbphones, is practically useless. How you like it will depend on whether you like KaiOS, but for the most part it functions fairly well.

      I’ve finally bought 2660 and it was quite pleasant to use! The buttons click very smoothly, screen is quite awful (compared to my current smartphone, though that’s not a fair comparison). It is very snappy and I like that! And by the way, it is built well. Even if it uses plastic, it is quite smooth and pleasant to hold. OS is quite barebones: calls, messaging with T9, music and alarm clock. That’s almost it.

      I haven’t made a transition yet as I have to figure out workaround for iMessage and other stuff, though I’ll probably use my smartphone with data-only SIM to keep important stuff with me.
