After 6 years and 4 months I lost my best friend.

My Samsung plus Note 9 is dieing, sadly he is currently on what they call phone hospice. He is barely operating. It was a great run and he was put through some hell but my note 9 is leaving us.

He survived a drop off a 2 story building, fell into a pool and was once locked all alone in my office overnight.  It never complained. Sadly he fell into a toilet and it cracked his brain. We will pull the plug on Tuesday or the Sim card.

Samsung makes a great phone but...

 

T-Mobile has a great deal on the flip phone Razor23 plus for only $500.00. The screen is 6.9 inches and the reviews have been pretty solid. 

I can't remember not owning a Samsung phone. The phone wil be here Tuesday. Anyone have a Motorola?

Thank you but a casserole would be nice.

Sorry for your loss, but I wound not recommend any flip smart phone. My mom had one, a Samsung Galaxy flip, actually had 3 of them in a span of 2 years because the screens just can't take the bendy toll. She finally went to back to a normal smartphone after the 3rd time that the replacement they sent her failed after only 7 months. The tech is just not there yet, imho.

Yeah, I don't see those bending screens holding up well over time. I worked for Motorola for several years right when they were getting him the smartphone game. Left shortly after they sold to Google knowing Google had no long-term plans on hardware. They wanted Motorola for the patent trove. Motorola is owned by Lenovo (China) now.

Personally, I've been using Google Pixel phones flashed with Graphene for years to get away from as much of the spyware as possible.

With the cult of IPhone you never have to worry about that because they're gonna kill your phone right around the time they're gonna release a new verstion lol
