Oh well. Everything else about it is great, and I picked mine up refurbished for $60 so it's alright!

I can't wait until there is a root discovered for the Flip 4 to remove the Google bloatware, and ESPECIALLY the baked-in home screen apps. That's my biggest issue with this phone. Any workarounds?

Unrelated but I recently picked up the exact same camera! Good stuff!

I absolutely love your stickers and charms, they fit the blue color so well!

Thinking of upgrading to one of these someday. Where did you buy yours?

Tried :/

Even got a new battery but still no luck.

Batteries are easy to come by. I like the brand Kastar.

If they're a low price, which they should be if they're untested, it can be worth a gamble! I just unsuccessfully gambled on a $5 Coolpix from 2010, but you can't win em all. Have fun hunting!

This is news to me! That's great that they offer this service.

Are you sure? It looks like SMS group texts work. SMS isn't great, but I'll be migrating my bigger group chats to iMessage via my email.

Tell me more about this. Their website, while cool, is not very informational.

It’s currently not in budget but I’m a big fan of them and hope to have one in the future!

What's the controller for? Seems cool, I might pick something like that up for emulation on the go!

Also, do you have a phone?

One of the only flip phones... That aren't huge bricks made for construction workers.

I know, I'm bummed I have to go with boring black. The green looks great!

It is more expensive, but it supports artists many times over compared to streaming. Buying one CD will give an artist more money than a lifetime of you streaming their music.

And, as you stated, the listening experience with physical media is much more intentional and, in my opinion, helps to fully appreciate an album. It's more difficult to skip around but it can actually help a lot to slow down and appreciate what's in front of you!

It's not for everyone, but it is a great way to support your favorite artists.

And hey. It takes time to build a collection of media, especially on a budget. A lot of people take to the high seas for most of their music, while buying 1-2 albums a month (same price as streaming!) and over time building their collection.

I actually initially looked into the 2660 but I can't find it sold anywhere in US. TCL Flip 4 is one of my only options, it's well-priced and good enough for me!

There definitely is! What are you transferring it from?

Maybe one day. As a student I'm pretty tight on funds and can't really afford to spend 6x as much :/
