like I lived through the brick to flip phone to smartphone era, but I can’t remember what features I was looking at on these flip phones when I was deciding which one to buy. do you guys remember?

    The LG EnV2, that’s what I looked for in a flip phone.
    Yes, it opened sideways instead of top to bottom but it was still a flip phone.
    I still miss it sometimes, I wish someone would come out with a new version for Android, just the same simple front with only a physical number pad and a small screen, then have it open like a Samsung folding phone to a full screen Android display.

      you’ll have to double check the operating system, but the Summit from Boost Mobile looks like it’s one of those

      Ah I remember this phone. I remember when it finally died and I replaced it with an Android 2 that was R2-D2 themed. It still had a physical keyboard because I very distinctly remembered not wanting to use a touchscreen keyboard for everything.
