REVIVE THE FLIP PHONE

But then the phone can be reset, which would create an issue in many situations (e.g. parents filtering phone for child), which ends up being really sticky and nitty gritty exactly when and what should be done...

I doubt you can put apps on those pre-installed filters from tag.

No they are not putting with ABD when they're installing the filter for 25 bucks.

Your right. I forgot about that problem. It happens to be that im on the sonim xp3 which has an excellent parental controls app built in that can block factory reset. Its a great phone, they should really be more popular...

I was replying to this:

Are there things they could be doing differently, probably. The first that comes to mind is having someone who can run adb there and filter them for free. It would be a toeles if people knew they didnt have to pay to get a filter as im sure it holds people back.

Hard to convince people to get a brick, no matter how good it is...

I know... but its a shame, really the only con is weak vibration, besides for size. Im in the middle of setting up a lg classic, it just doesnt compare in response time

Anyone know about the functionality of the new Nokia 2720 v phones and especially how their operating system compares to the android one on the Kyocera Cadence? I just lost my Cadence and want to know if it's a significant downgrade to the point that it will drive me nuts? Also the Nokia phone is better or worse then the LG classic?

I have a friend who just bought a sonim xp3 and asked me to help him kasher it.

There is no tag near me. What’s the best/easiest way to kasher it?

The phones built in restrictions work well and are reliable?

What's the best option for someone who wants a phone with a physical qwerty keyboard? Doesn't have to be kosher, just a full keyboard.

Blackberry

Blackberry

Thanks. Is there an option that also doesn't have a touchscreen?

[AsherO]

Older blackberries (e.g. 8330/Curve) don’t have a touchscreen, but I’m not sure how supported they are on current networks and/or how well the browser supports current websites. Also not sure whether any 3rd party apps are still supported.

Blackberry

There are big issues with old blackberries (blackberry's?) and network compatibility so I would be cautions. And that's Before att 3g decommissioning:

Figured this might be the case, a part of me still misses my trusty BB.

So aside from BlackBerry are there any other options for someone who wants a physical keyboard and no touchscreen? Doesn't need to be  a great phone and doesn't need any apps (though Waze/maps would be nice).

There are still phones on sprint/t mobile that have qwerty keyobards, 3g service though. There is one that even looks like a blackberry, not sure of the name.You might have some difficulty getting them set up with service but if the imei is in the system it should be easier.

Not exactly sure what you mean. I know people that have them... I myself had one til not long ago.

Exactly. I actually still have one, on Verizon (lg octane-2010) and its great. But as the networks move toward 5g they are making it harder or even impossible to activate a 3g phone. (Ironically Verizon moved from first to shut down, to last https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/27/22457255/verizon-att-3g-shutdown-date). Telling someone that there is an option is misleading them. Most of the networks are retiring their networks soon (https://www.sprint.com/en/support/cdma-retirement-legal-notice.html), so whatever someone might get to work, is only going to last a few months at best. Although the dates may change (as we saw with Verizon many times), its still going to happen, so no one should go invest in a device that will turn into a brick within months.
