Re: Fairphone anyone?

Alcatel still sells an old-fashion flip phone, the GoFlip. It runs KaiOS, which seems to be a clumsy fork of an old Android system. It is small and therefore fits into just about any pants pocket, it has SMS but not effective MMS, and a farce of a camera I never use. MetroPCS by T-Mobile supports it in the U.S. No Google or similar account is required, just your MetroPCS account, mostly for autopay of the monthly bill.

If a meeting or event will mean that I want to go on the Web or do other smartphone things, I take a tablet. If I want to be ready to take photos, I take a quality camera. At home the PC is the much more capable device.

I must be sincere about all this, because I haven't written one article about how I gave up the Internet for a week.
