The battery thing is rather disappointing. You'd expect more from a phone like this, like 3 days of battery life or whatever. Good thing about the battery is that it is removable, which is not an option in modern smartphones. My dad has this Nokia, so I held it in my hands a couple of times - feels very firm, nice, and solid. I like this phone, but I hope Nokia will make a newer, better version of it in the future. The future of classic flip phones could be bright, but they have to improve the performance. For now I'm sticking to my smartphone, but maybe I'll give a flip phone a try in the future.
@burnieclimber3 жыл бұрын
To be fair though, although the battery life is bad, it probably isn't as bad as I said. After using it a little more I'd say you can get a solid 4 hours out of it. Still, though for what it is, that seems very subpar

As I am using the phone more, I am realizing more drawbacks. One of the bigger ones is the fact that it is practically impossible to receive photos through text. They take forever to download and you have to download them before a certain date. You can for some reason get pictures through WhatsApp more easily. Another annoying thing is using email, let's just say that it takes a long time to find an email. Also, you can't multitask and see texts at the same time as you're talking to someone. If you try to exit out of the phone call to look at something else, it hangs up. Also group texts show up as separate messages meaning each person in the group is a separate conversation, you can't talk in the group chat.

I wish we could get some proper, nice, modern flip phones like have been sold in Japan and China and whatnot up until a couple years ago, and not only bottom-of-the-barrel devices that are available in the US. Can't group text, poor battery life, poor support for US cellular bands, etc, etc

@burnieclinmber Hi, since the 3G network is being phased out, I'm desperate to find a non-smartphone that still is decent but works on 4G. I assume this is that version? Have been looking into this model, but then Nokia 1st told me you CAN send/received MMS with it, yet when I double-checked that it would include sending/receiving MMS w/ not only pictures, but also sound files, they said no?? Which seems completely retarded. My old Sony Ericsson C905 model from 2008 works that way, at least. Under the Messaging menu, you pick either SMS or MMS, and under MMS you can record a file and send as a MMS. Surely, that must work also on this one?? Else I'm f ............! This is the only phone I can imagine getting:/ Pls, could you confirm or deny this about sending/receiving MMS containing sound files? Big thanks in advance!

I've been using a flip phone for about a year now and I dig it. I still keep my galaxy nearby (wifi only) but it's clunky and mostly only use it in bed or at cafe's. The flip fits in the pocket really comfortably so it's really great when you're on the go. it's also fine for KZfaq when paired with a small bluetooth speaker. Pretty sure it's pinned at like 360p so it barely uses data. 1 gig can easily last a month even if you use youtube for a 1/2 hour a day which is great.

The biggest selling point for me, is the lack of social media apps and the liberation of not being so instantly connected to the world. I figured, why be suckered for $176 a month, for a smartphone, that literally no one contacts me on, with the exception of my girlfriend and mother. And that’s not an exaggeration, unless you include spam callers and notifications for bills. Mine will be shipped in 2 days. Can’t wait to take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s and free myself of unnecessary stress. Goodbye iPhone and hello freedom. It’s all a psychological trap people. Let go and live life. P.S. - I have a laptop in the event that I need to get on third party apps such as banking apps or google. Other than that, it’s no longer an appendage that I feel scared to lose.

ive had the phone for 1 year and some things i want to point out pros: NO ADS!- every website ive gone to absolutely no ads,no ads on instagram,no ads on facebook,no hot local milfs near you,nothing,not even on youtube instagram- works in browser(no offical app on kai os yet),u can do everything there,even post storys and dm people,emojis are also visible ,but for some reason cant see videos on explore anymore whatsapp- works but cant make calls facebook-works havent tried calling on there and bunch of stuff,can scroll the feed and comment etc. youtube-works can watch videos and comments webbrowser and other websites-most of them work except soundcloud wich at first was workin but now it doesnt,it seems like it makes alot of phones crash that dont have the correct app when u try to go there from browser(had same issue with older smartphones) durability- u said its gets scratched easily wich is true but the phone sure can take good fall damage without braking or cracking or damaging phone ,wich happened to most of my smartphones in less in 1 year of use camera-by smartphone standards its garbage but by flip phone standards its the peak evolution of pixels size/weight-its alot smaller and lighter than all the smartphones, alot more comfortable to carry in pocket and hold in hand compared to smartphones with large screens battery life-better than smartphones,but if u watch videos on youtube on its pretty much same battery life as smartphones dual sim and a micro sd -u can have 2 simcards active at same time,can use 2 telephone numbers wich is very useful for me for many reasons wifi hotspot-probably my favourite thing about it,drains battery depending what u doing on the net,i use it everyday to make internet for my pc with it and its quite fast emojis-yes they are on a flipphone now lol,and quite alot of them price-i got it for 100 bucks so its probly the best flipphone for that price considering how many features it has cons: quite few apps ,specialy the common ones,worst one for me is that i cant use soundcloud,not even in browser youtube-you cant close ur phone if u want the song to remain playing,maybe u can if u have youtube premium,i dont so not sure batterylife-would expect to be better for flipphone but i guess its still a smartphone y it has the same battery life updates-when i first got it,it was updating like every few days like most smartphones,but now i havent got any updates for like a year lol idk why messaging-takes long to type a simple sentence without using the predictive texting,not a phone for some1 who chats on it for 2 hours in a day or has long conversations every day web images/videos-as he mentioned for most people it seems crappy that the screen videos and images inst that big ,really its only cause ppl are so used to huge screens,its pretty decent compared to flipphones we had in 2006 etc google maps-i havent personally test it myself if it doesnt say directions,i tought it would since u can see ur blue dot moving and present,u can zoom out and see the whole route atleast tho,so it isnt completly useless hope this one helps some1 deciding getting 1 lol,im quite happy with it and dont plan on going back to normal smartphones anytime soon

I'm a novice and never had a smartphone and my old cell still works but Verizon has stopped supporting it and it might die in 2023. I don't need to text - I need a phone to call if I'm lost - or in an emergency. It would be nice to find a restaurant ... but that's what I do before leaving home.

It was an interesting video that allows you to see that they have improved by making the keys much larger compared to other models they have. By the way, at one point you said that there is no voice command for text except in WhatsApp where you can send only audio files. Well, no, that's not true, but a lot of people don't know that and it's a shame because typing on that kind of old-fashioned keyboard is not very pleasant. it's very simple, when you're in the frame to type your text in any application you press the central button for two seconds and you release and it launches the Google assistant which takes care of the voice command. And it works in any application where you can type text. I have a thought for all those who didn't know it before and who typed their messages by hand on this kind of phone 😂 I have the Nokia Banana phone where the keys are even smaller than on the 2720 you can imagine if I had to type text by hand regularly with this 🤣

Verizon sells this phone, and I've read that some customers cannot unlock it for the Verizon network. I don't know if it's all clients, though. I'm looking for a rebound phone that isn't an Apple. I'm also looking for a detox, too. (Great turn of phrase.) How easy is it to remove the battery? Thanks for posting.

Hi, what apps are available for emailing? Is there anything like Gmail or Outlook?
@burnieclimber3 жыл бұрын
there is just the stock email app which is subpar but still usable. let's just say if you are used to the Gmail app on your smartphone the email app on this nokia phone will pale in comparison.

Thanks for this in-depth honest review! I'm looking for a phone for my granny, and I'm kinda liking this for myself too lol. Going back to Whatsapp, can't the 'Voice' menu at the center start a phone call? I don't use whatsapp and I'm not sure of their menu terms though

So overall would you recommend this phone for detox , I am just worried about what you said, spending more time on pc instead etc ? Also how is music on it , also does it have hotspot ?
@burnieclimber3 жыл бұрын
Music is not the best. You can download songs on it like an old-school iPod or listen to music through some apps, I find the radio apps such as world radio to be the most lag-free and seamless. You're not going to have anything like Spotify or Apple music. As for the detox aspect. I do recommend it. Yes, I spend more time on my computer, but then again I am home all day long because of covid. But I can say when I am out I never NEVER go on my phone, I use it only for texting and calling. So to answer your question yes, a great detox phone despite its flaws.

Watched all 29:21 of the video hoping you would answer one impossible question for me. The speakerphone, or 'Loudspeaker' as Nokia is calling it, how to activate or use it can't be found. Says only available when on a call and look for the speaker icon on the screen. I did see it 1 time, by accident. How no idea how I did that. Do you know? OBTW, I have 2 of these and about 30days in so far. Had 2 LG flip phones, 3g on Verizon and had to replace them. Wanted something similar, with minimum learning curve and certainly don't need or want a smartphone. Do almost 100% on computers, laptop, or iPads. Phone calls yes, primary use. Excellent job on the review. Certainly learned a lot. Can you help me on using the loudspeaker, please? Thanks in adavence.

Hey are you talking about the speaker phone? If so there should be a button when you are on a call that turns it on.
