Title: Love it
Review: The picture quality isnât good but I didnât buy this phone for the quality. The phone does well on its performance (texting and calling). The screen is nice. Iâm not complaining about it. I would say durability isnât okay. It isnât too bad but itâs not perfect. The connectivity is okay. Itâs not that good. But itâs not trash. If you want to only receive text and calls mostly while maybe having YouTube on the side. Perfect phone for you. Perfect for a detox. Love it.

Title: Unfit for purpose
Review: This isn't really a basic "feature" phone. KaiOS is a stripped down version of Android running on a little processor that isn't capable of keeping up with the demands of Android bloat. For example, open the phone, and in big numerals it will show you the time _that you last opened the phone_. It may take up to a minute to update and show the actual time. (You can train yourself you read the actual time on the tiny status bar.) Sending a text message? Type slowly because it won't keep up.(And good luck finding basic punctuation marks like the apostrophe or capitalizing a name in the middle of a sentence. And your preferences for which text typing mode you like are constantly being reset to bad defaults.)The UI is unnecessarily cumbersome. If you receive a spam text (aren't they all?), you're going to have to press a lot of buttons several times to delete it.I don't have a data plan because all I need is the occasional call and even rarer SMS message. But if this phone ever gets access to data for even a moment, it starts trying to update. And when that data is interrupted, your notifications will be spammed with a slew of error messages. And, sometimes, that leaves key apps, like your contact list, inaccessible.The beauty of Type C USB connectors is that you can insert them either way. However, if your charger and cable support PD (Power Delivery) and/or QC (Quick Charge), the phone will charge only when the cable is plugged in the "right" way. If you leave it overnight on a charger with the cable the wrong way around, you'll wake up to a dead battery. From what I've read, you have to go out of your way to design a Type C USB port that isn't symmetric. But why would you do that? (And the battery life is terrible compared to previous feature phones I've had. Putting Android under the hood may have been an expedient way to create KaiOS, but you can't throw that at a low power processor and expect it not to burn through the battery.)Oh, I almost forgot about Bluetooth. This phone fails to pair with my car. My car thinks the pairing is successful, but the phone does not. This phone does pair with my wife's car, but not mine. Every other phone I've used was able to pair with both cars.I don't have a great need for a cell phone (coverage at home is spotty at best), so I haven't gone looking for an alternative. Yesterday, however, the phone died, a just few days short of 10 months of very light usage. Outer screen won't light up. Inner screen is filled with random pixel values. If I call it, it doesn't even ring, so it's not _just_ a display failure.This device doesn't reach even the most minimal requirements of a cell phone. If Nokia still cared one iota about its brand name, it never would have authorized this disaster. It's actually worse that the Kazuna eTalk, which I wouldn't have imagined was possible. This is not fit to be called a phone.

Title: Nice Flip Phone
Review: Nokia 2780 fits my simple needs very well. I love the large keypad, good interface and long battery life. I wanted to depart the smart phone's intrusiveness & complexities, as I have no need for most of its functions. Only hiccup is that the Nokia 2780 Bluetooth does not seem to work, but I don't need that anyway.

Title: Good for a flip phone
Review: After trying to find a modern day flip phone, I'd say this is about as close to the old style phones as I've been able to get. I'm talking about quality wise. The old ones I had were built like tanks but it seems like none of the companies want to sink that effort into the new ones. I guess this one is close.It runs on KaiOS so you do get a few more app type options which I really didn't care about. If I still wanted apps, I would've stuck with my smart phone. Apps on this thing are just mobile Firefox web pages and they're flaky, don't work well with scrolling or clicking so don't expect much.Even email isn't going to impress anybody on KaiOS. You might as well only set up one account cause that's all you can use at one time anyway. If you want notifications from a different email account, you have to physically switch over to that account. Luckily, again, I wasn't looking for email features.Texting is the painful T-9 again which, due to the addition of all phones using the number 1 for voicemail, throws all the letters off by one, so any old muscle memory training you had from years ago is going to get screwed up. You have to retrain yourself on T-9 again. Fortunately, this phone has nice big keys so it has been easier than a couple of other flip phones I've tried. BUT, the biggest bonus with this phone as for texting has to be the voice input, which is actually fairly decent. I was impressed with how accurate and easy, easier than using the T-9 input, to enter quick texts. I'd recommend trying and using that feature as it will save you lots of grief trying to type.Ultimately, it's still a quality thing for me and this phone doesn't quite meet the same standards as my old flip phones. It's noticeably very plastic and also quite slippery in the hand. I'd strongly recommend getting the textured form fitting case at the same time or chances are good the thing is going to slide out of your hand.The battery length is probably it's best feature as it lasts a good 2-3 days depending on use. I never have to worry about charging it in the car as I can throw it on the charger at home for an hour or two and it's full again and ready for another couple of days.The blue color I ordered does not look like the pictures at all. It's more of a turquoise blue-green which I can't stand. I would've ordered the red had I known but I don't know if that would've looked like the pics or been more orange-red so unless you can physically see one, it's a gamble. Thankfully I ordered the textured case in black so it pretty much covers all of the ugly color of the phone anyway.I had been using the Nokia 8810 banana phone prior to this one and thankfully, the 2760 has far more processing power so you can actually do stuff without totally bogging the thing down like I found on the 8810.There is some bugs with the use of an sd card as well. I got mine all ready from my computer, and while the phone can see it and browse the files, it can't find any music files so I also can't change any ring tones. People on forums have said they have had some luck formatting the card on the phone itself but still run into problems when they try to hook the card back up to their PC to add music, etc. as the computer wants to reformat it again so it's a viscous circle. I didn't care enough about ring tones and music to bother fighting with this so I just left it as is for now.Overall, if you are looking for a modern flip phone that is somewhat close to old school quality and don't care about apps or anything other than having something for making calls and short texts, this is about the best I've found for a reasonable price. If Nokia, or some company, would offer a updated version of almost any old flip phone as far as build quality, I really think they would have a good size market of users who are wanting to get rid of a lot of their tech and go old school like me.
