My last mobile was a Nokia 2270 Flip-phone. I really disliked the flaky
KaiOS, pressing the main button to call up the long list of applications
was rarely a straightforward process, apparently depending on the phase
of the moon. Also, the keyboard procedure when entering a new contact
was extremely frustrating, it automatically suggested letter
combinations that I had never seen before, and never wanted.
So when I lost the mobile, I was not too worried. I replaced it
with another Nokia flip-phone, but this is a different model, a 2260.
And it is great, it reverts to a non-KaiOS system, it just does what
you want, and the keypad is logical instead of the 2720's built-in
auto-complete system. And it doesn't have all those stupid social
network application buttons that I will never use.

Retro is better!
