It’s refreshing to see I’m not the only person with this problem. I’ve wanted a flip phone for a while and I just had a breakdown last night so I’ve been looking for “dumb” phones with smart features in hopes of getting my life back together. Im gonna buy the S22 flip as soon as I get the chance lol
@tobymakesfilms9 ай бұрын
I was in a very similar spot! phones rob life! I still need discipline, but every time I use it reminds me of my decision to swap to a easier phone. where do you live, I know buying these phones can be a little hard sometime! thanks for your comment also!

I have the same problem. I am at work right now and cannot keep my eyes off my phone. I was looking at the Cat 22 for a while and searching for reviews and yours is the best so far. Here in Quebec, Canada it's 130$.

I am in the same position as the rest of the world ..I'm putting my necessary apps on this , then will use it as a WiFi hotspot on my fire tablet when I fancy a bit of web browsing ...but it will definitely stop me just picking up my smartphone and losing hours on end ...it's the future for sure ...

And your video just inspired me to make these kinda (but not exact :v) dlog vids, maybe just for me, to document my one last run to make life better! And i wanted to thank you for that! THANK YOU!

Bro!! What an encouraging comment! Thank you so much! That phone changed my life. But to be honest. I actually just broke mine, I was Charging it with my MacBook charger. And I wasn’t thinking about it… fried it :( so I’m trying to get another one!! And bro keep on pushing! Life is worth improving, give it time… wait the improvements out! It takes some time before you see benefits from what you are changing. I’m loving making good decisions, life is so much better and so worth living. Keep on being a absolute LEGEND!
