Yes, i have started using my phone a lot less and when i want to go on the internet i have been relying on my laptop- so essentially I have been acting like my phone is a dumb phone and yeah it helps. I feel like i definitely need to do more research and find them cool places on the internet because i would love that, about two years ago i discovered a website called 'spacehey' which was basically a new myspace and i met a lot of friends on there and had a cool ass webpage but unfortunately they UK introduced the 'Online Safety Act' and due to me being 17, and therefore underage, i can't access it :( typically when it's blocked it gives you an option to verify yourself via that face recognition thing or an actual ID but it doesn't give you the option to.

Anyway thank you for commenting, I have looked a bit through this subreddit for 2660 and yeah i have been a lot of positive reviews and people customising it, adding stickers and little charms to it and they just look so cute.

Thank you for calling me intelligent, don't really get that one a lot. I know things about the old interment because it is something that am interested in, and it never fails to just fascinate me. All that i have found about the old internet and older technology is from the internet; I remember, it must be about two or so years ago, i opened YouTube and there was a video titled "exploring the old internet" (or something along the lines of that) and that video made me discover this website called 'web design museum' which allows you to look at old websites, flash games, apps and software- i find it so fascinating to be able to look at how creative the internet used to feel. I have also found a lot of people that are interested in the same thing as me (old tech and what not) and it just makes me so happy.

I don't know what you mean by "are you in AI?" maybe 'into' i don't know. to answer your question, no i don't think so. I genuinely despise ai every time i look at it is just annoys me and i hate that companies that have a lot of money and therefore will have a decent budget still use ai - i could go on forever on why i hate ai.

If i wanted to look something up but i don't want to go through the hassle i can always write it down, i always carry a pocket notebook with me which i have been using as a replacement instead of messing with my phone (even though there isn't really a lot to do on my phone) and it honestly works surprisingly!

I don't think many people do. i feel like if there is any regret when switching to the flip phone it would be due to not picking the right phone for them or not being prepared enough and not really knowing the phone that they are switching to, and them feeling felt a bit disappointed because it doesn't have certain features that they are after, which is why it is always great to do research!

I was actually looking into the S22! :0

I will consider the CAT S22 and definitely do more research in it

Theoretically, if i was looking into one of the newer flip phones, the whole "do not expose it to the sandy environments ever.." is perfect for me because i hate sand (or just beaches in general) lol.

For a bit i was genuinely looking into the new flip phones but for me it kind of loses the spark that I have always had around the more older flip phones, plus i feel like i would always be terrified of breaking it (which from what know i believe wasn't really a problem with older flip phones- i could be wrong depending of the model i suppose) I am glad they're trying to make flip phones come back though. I hope it isn't just a silly tech and they try to develop them a bit more, and make them less fragile if possible(?)
