I can’t get over my disgust in how the world threw all their perfectly good feature phones into landfills & now they’re buying new feature phones at absurd prices. WTF. Go to any flee market or street market and there are piles of old dumb phones. It’s like the people who are sensible enough to realize smart phones are a bad idea are still addicted to buying new stuff.
