Apps including WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Google Maps, as well as others that you can install from KaiOS Store.

Other notable features of the Nokia include: I still have to use my iPhone from time to time, and it’s very convenient to just turn on a hotspot on the Nokia instead of having to switch the SIM card over to the iPhone. Support for Wi-Fi hotspots is a close second. With operators around the world shutting down 2G and 3G bands, an old Nokia phone would soon become useless in most countries. While going completely old-school with, for example, Nokia 8800 from 2005 would undoubtedly be uber nerdy and cool, the 2720 Flip is actually a modern device that has some crucial features that older phones lack.

That attempt failed, but could things be different with a more modern phone like Nokia 2720 Flip? I had tried to switch to a feature phone a few years earlier, but that phone was a really dumb Samsung from 2010 or so with no 4G, Wi-Fi or a modern messaging app. However, this whole controversy rekindled my interest in dumping smartphones altogether. Faced with massive pressure from the public and organizations such as EFF, Apple subsequently swept most parts of the plan under the rug. In my previous post, I discussed Apple’s controversial plan to add on-device photo scanning to iPhones and Macs that they announced back in August 2021.
