Anyone else having trouble when dialing a call from the physical keyboard that it tupes a number multiple times even if only pressed once and it's a bit delayed?

Battery life, physical buttons are very buggy, no swipe in gmail, no android auto
Granted, I can't update to the latest firmware so perhaps these issues were fixed

My wife has it, what I dislike about it most is google maps. If you're following step by step it's fine but if you want to check alternate routes it is annoying.

So no real issues, just some inconveniences?

What network can this use?

It depends what you want this phone for.

If it's to get smartphone. You won't be happy with this.

If it's to get a non-smart phone, (and you filter it), then you'll prob like it over a classic flip phone.

If it's to get a "non addicting smartphone", you won't love it, but that's the point. (As I assume that's the reason Alexsi didn't like it.)

Being that I'm looking for a flip phone, that's why I said this.

But I think@Alexsei

Battery life??

meant it's more than just a small inconvenience, which can make this worse than a reg flip phone.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I highly doubt it's possible to get Android Auto to work on Android Go (which the Cat S22 Flip runs on).

I bought one at BSD phones in Lakewood and it has Android Auto.
