Title: Very solid phone!!
Review: This phone has been amazing for so many reasons . It is super easy to use, looks great! Very nice call quality and battery life. I will say the one Improvement could be adding a blue light filter.

Title: Get any, any other phone Please!
Review: Kai OS is a fundamental step backwards for feature phones going to create mountains of e-waste. Physical hardware is ok but that's where it ends. No autofill or cut and paste (very difficult to enter passwords, etc). Browser constantly crashes if you load too much text or scroll too fast. The java version of Google Maps on 2g phones from decades ago worked better. Fails at absolutely everything it sets to do and more. Who cares if it plays Youtube and functions as a hotspot (smartphones already do this much better). These features barely function and drain the battery. The very basics had to implemented by third party app developers (like a password vault) for KaiOS 2.5 then compatibility was BROKEN in the 3.x update. Ended up getting a basic AOSP-based flip phone instead, at least basic functioning is there.

Title: just a flip phone
Review: This is an extra phone. Petite size is biggest advantage. The start up instruction info print was too small making for a frustrating start up , but it can make and receive calls which is enough.

Title: Works well
Review: Looks and acts like a flip phone. This is NOT a smart phone. The phone works well, very clear speaker function and texting works well. I ditched my Pixel 6, too many ads, unsafe apps in the wild. The Nokia will also fit comfortably in your pocket.

Title: Good, cheap kid phone
Review: I bought a similar, but cheaper, dumb phone for my kids to use with SpeedTalk. Something they could take to their friends' house and call back home if needed. The cheaper phone would not consistently connect calls, but, so far, this one has worked perfectly.It's a very basic phone, which is exactly what I needed for my use case. If you want something with a lot of features and utilities, look elsewhere, but if you want a phone that works with T-Mobile and its resellers, can call and text well, and doesn't expose your kids to the Internet, this is a great phone.

Title: Not new
Review: This wasn't a new phone as I expected. Imagine seeing a stranger's pictures on your new phone's memory! I love this phone because it's user friendly but shouldn't have been charged a "new phone" price.

Title: Works fine with Verizon reseller US Mobile (CDMA/ LTE), except Hotspot is removed from settings
Review: Phone seems to work fine, with the exception that the Hotspot / Tethering option is missing from the Settings menu when a SIM is inserted.Hotspot can be enabled by using browser to https://cyan-2048.github.io/kaios_scripts/ You can pin (create shortcut) that page to your apps menu, and use it to get to the settings to configure and enable / disable the hotspot.Inserting the SIM was a bit of a challenge, until I looked at the manual https://data2.manualslib.com/cpdf/59/292/29110/9f1464.pdf to figure out the notch faces towards the center (right?) of the phone, and the metal retainer slides right and left to lock and release.So far, I give four stars, as it took a couple of hours to figure out those two items.For me, it is essential to have tethering capabilities. I keep a tablet in the car for rare need to browse web/ mobile banking, etc., but it needs an Internet connection. Also, I rely on tethering a few times per year when traveling, or when home Internet is down.Inexpensive phones with KaiOS and other off-brand OS have been able to do this in the past. Not sure why this nicer phone has been modified to remove essential capability.The .mp3 player doesn't resume where you left off. You have to re-select whatever you were listening to every time you want to resume listening. That's kinda of annoying.
