    This is a joke or satire, no? Who the F would pay that much for a flip phone. You can get them for free can’t you?

        *in America

        Where I am from, there are still basic 2G MediaTek MAUI phones with no application platform being pooped out to street markets. With more sophisticated models doing J2ME (yes, really) and KaiOS + 3G. Lots of brands tho the most popular is literally called “Sigma Mobile”.

        They literally don’t make any anymore? Interesting. What about dumb phones that just have the bare necessities?

        Oh no not running Linux. But if your intent is to avoid running sophisticated apps, why do you need Linux on your phone ?
