I pull out my > cheapo flip phone, end of discussion :-) I'm not even your age, but I agree completely. I have a nokia 110 4g, and it is perfect! Lasts me about 1.5 weeks without charging it. The only drawback is that I cannot use Uber so I pay 3-4x for a taxi the regular way. =( > I see flips have made a COMEBACK.

The ones that are appearing where I am are sadly enormous "fake" flip phones that ru nfull blown android or kaios. Very crappy products and contain just as much surveillance tech as a smart phone. Nokia sold their dumdphone business to HMD, and I suspect HMD will shut it down within a few years. The only thing I miss on my Nokia is wifi hotspot, which is convenient when travelling, but it is not a must have feature. > The EEEpc was affordable and JUST big enough and the > performance was 'ok'.

With Win Are there any ones at around 10" to 11"? I loved my macbook air 11.6". Perfect size for me. Sadly it was cancelled, so now I have a 14" ASUS, which is really a bit too big for me. > they suck, with Lin they LIVE.
