    Im 26 and swore off smartphones for this. Tired of breaking so many smartphones. I drive heavy equipment and dropped so many out of graders dozers etc and they always hit a rock on face and bust. This phone is bullet proof.

    Slamming the old flippy shut in anger is so underated. I have always owned a flip phone in my 42 years of life. Cheers! Your video helped me decide to buy one.

      "Close to End Call" does NOT work if you were talking via SPEAKER Phone! Important to know that when you close your phone, if the person on the other end hasn't hung up yet, they will hear everything you do or say after you think you have hung up. Have to press END to terminate that call.

    I hate all this new technology, and it’s not that it’s not great, it’s too good. It can be addicting and very toxic and I have always had some sort of smart device. I’m only 19 and the past couple months I’ve been finding the true me, and non of this technology is it all this social media is holding me back and is very bad for my brain. Therefore I’m going old school I’m glad it has an aid because the only thing I want to be able to do on a phone is talk to people call wise or short text, and listen to music everything else I’m getting rid of and if I want to take a picture to share it somewhere I’m gonna get a camera and use my computer at home to share it. But I just hate having all this social media on me when I’m out and about doing stuff.

      Me too! I’m excited many us young people are doing something about it because this age of internet isn’t what the old internet of once you left the computer it doesn’t follow you. Now a days even with friends they are always on their phone talking to someone who isn’t there. It’s sad and depressing and that’s not even including how toxic and addictive social media is.

    From the get-go of your video, I was nodding my head up-and-down in agreement for ALL of the reasons you listed for having a "Flip Phone" ... and yes, including slamming it closed to hang up when I'm PO'd. With that said, I do have a Plain Old Telephone (POTS) Copper Wired Telephone Service at home ... and there is NOTHING like slamming down the handheld receiver into it's cradle. It's a "CLICK" sound (plus dial tone on my end) that the caller just knows you are over and out with their call. Thanks for a great concise video with realistic reasons as why we'd want and get a flip phone. My husband is the one who needs one to take to work, but he does use an industrial phone that stays at work. Thanks for pointing out the features that I had no idea were there, and apparently, other people, who have made videos about this phone, don't know. I have the Kyocera DURAXV EXTREME +, this is replacing the LG LTE for us. Not sure if this version has a little more doo-dads on it then the older model? But I get the drift for this one via your video. Thanks. P.S. EXACTLY! It is EVER SO satisfying ...

    After going through about three smart phones in four years I told my wife I have had it with the money pit and bought this exact phone five months ago. It is great and say bye to ridiculous distracting notifications. And because texting is not as easy as a smart phone there is no guilt if you do not respond or respond with a detailed text. It is pretty much as far as text go - yes, no, maybe, and ok. I wanted to simplify and get the cost down as well. This phone is it for me.

    I love flip phones because I'm old school and I don't want my phone to control me like a smart phone does to people. Like he said flip it open to answer and flip it close to hang up....easy. Try explaining this to a young sales person who insist on selling you a smartphone. Yes, young people just don't get it because the smart phone's are controlling them.

    All these videos talk too much about how wonderful this phone is for all kinds of experiences but none, including this video, goes through step by step how to use all the features. My husband turned on the flashlight, for instance, and ended up pushing multiple buttons to finally figure out how to turn it off. There is a need for very specific directions about usage..how all the features work and how to get back to "home" as part of the process. It should be assumed that tech terms may not be understood by a new user. Simple step by step instruction is badly needed. How about a new video that says "do this, then this," etc.

Looked all over the internet and haven’t been able to figure out what it means. I was going through my menus looking for a way to make it go away…..not sure what I did….but it went away. Now it bothers me that I don’t know what it was.

      I just replaced my 15 yr. old LG flip phone with this Kyocera E4810. I have no interest in a smartphone or some fragile, bulky device. I've only had this phone since Monday afternoon so I am still getting familiar with it, but I am indeed impressed. It is solid, fully functional, with varied options. I like the self answering feature, although I didn't realize I had that on and was surprised when I got a call. The volume is most satisfactory.

They need to be done away with for 👍. If you want internet, social media, etc, get an actual PC, 💻 or tablet and leave that shit @ 🏡.
