Reminds me of Bammyphones.
The market for these phones, is literally dying. Typical phone for tech challenged people ( the old).
Anybody younger than 60 wants a phone with email, complex texting, wifi, and interwebby capabilit at the very least
Awesome ! Nokia is making a whole new generation of Burner-phones for Muslim Terrorists and Drug dealers !!!
Great news indeed !
Dieeeeee Infidels … dieeeeeeeee !!!!

And those who suffer from a lack of independence…like cattle.
In other words, people who would rather watch life than live it.
I just bought a Kyocere Duraxe. Its a fu%#ing phone, it`s not my life. My world does not end if I don`t have it glued to my face.
I understand, but the market is not you. This phone is like a 72 Vega
A phone, not a gadget.
Exactly!!!
I have no reason to replace my Sanyo 7000. It provides all the mobile phone service I need and is turned off unless I’m using it. It’s there for MY convenience.
“Feature phones” like this have been available continuously as long as smartphones have been around.
Any smartphone has and disseminates only the data you put on it.
We are not the market, but we are a market. Most businesses want to pretend we don’t exist for fear of their cattle straying to join us, but a business that caters to us can do so quite cheaply, and there’s some profit to be found in that.
Have had a BB since 06…still using my Z30 which has served me well….when the time comes, I will likely jump to
Android and go with either a Samsung or BB DTEK60…all the security of BB on a droid 0phone….what’s not to like..??
Worst phone I ever had was a Nokia that Rogers forced me to use to replace my Motorola StarTAC.
StarTAC was the best. It worked flawlessly and was virtually indestructible.
Clip-on battery on the front could be swapped out in 2 seconds.
I still have all of the phones I’ve every owned.
Currently Samsung Galaxy S5. It’s unremarkably ok.
They may have always existed, but getting the smarmy salesman to go in the back where they’re hidden is like pulling your own teeth. They finally give up on me and go to the back when, after 20 repetitions of “no, I’m not interested in that gadget. Do you have one with a rotary dial?” they’ve had as much of my attitude as I’ve had of theirs.

Nothing like the smug ignorance of youth. I am over 60, make my own computers running Linux. I was given a “smartphone”, was appalled by the amount of Google horsecrap that comes with standard Android versions and the intrusiveness of the app permissions, wiped the thing, installed Cyanogen, got rid of all Google apps, and took advantage of the permissions control to clamp down on those.
The bottom line is “smartphones” are bad phones, crappy still and video cameras, crappy computers, and marginal MP3 players.
I went back to my 11 year Razr V3 that has performed flawlessly on 4 continents, actually fits in a standard pocket, and still has the original battery that needs a charge about every three days. If one was a 14 year old girl one could even text with it.
“cleaning to oldtech”
Is that like clinging to older tech?
Just so that you know: Less apps/functions means greater security.
You can stop all of that “Stop resisting, the BORG will assimilate you.” Shiite.
Resistance is the Spice of Life. Resistance is Yummy!!! Yummy Yummy Ymmumy!!!
HA HA HA
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of Elder berries.
What is the frequency, Kenneth?
get a phone with no data programs and you will be just fine. pick it up and call someone, talk to someone.
I knew this thread would be full of troglodytes and good for a laugh.
The same people that rail against smart phones are the ones that, 110 years ago, were complaining about those noisy horseless carriages.
I have horses and a horseless carriage and I use them both for their intended purposes. But unlike you “screenagers” I could do without either one for 15 minutes and not think the world was coming to an end. You don’t know the difference between convenience and blind dependence.
Are you saying that you sleep without them right beside you? Or don’t have them sitting on the dinner table?
And you wonder why you don’t have any facebook friends …
Facebook is for knob whisperers like yourself.
Still using my Samsung rugby indestructable I wait till I get home to use my computer wow what a concept.
Well, grasshopper, I’m over 60 but wouldn’t consider myself “technically challenged” since I worked as a professional engineer for 40 years. Even so, at work, my cell phone was just a phone – I didn’t even have a cell phone for 2 years after I retired. Never missed it!
Then my son gave me his old phone when he upgraded because he would rather text than phone. Now, in addition to voice and text, I can check email, send pictures and video, start / warm up my car, adjust our home thermostat, turn on / off lights, turn on / off the TV/sound system to entertain the dogs (even select the source & program (old “Lassie” reruns anybody?), control which speakers are on, volume, balance, etc.)
Mostly I use it for surfing the ‘net – more than everything else combined.
