cedros Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Looking at a new Samsung phone. Their flip phone is a suitable size for me. Luis at Benno Computers said remember the Motorola flip one ( I don't remember it) inferring that there were problems with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted May 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 I found problems and questions. It is a work in progress. No store I visited had them on display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 We swore off samsung phones after my wife's exploded and burned large hole in hotel carpet. We were lucky she had placed it on a table prior to explosion. This was 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they sold 200 million other ones last year alone... actually 2019....that did not do this. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pick one that fits your hand, eye, and budget and buy it. Seriously. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Fine. Expensive comes packed with a lot of stuff you may not need or want. I am still using an S4 Samsung bought second hand from a friend for 1,000 pesos. It does everything I want... phone calls/messages via messenger or whatsapp/ take photos/e-mail. I use my laptop for other things computerized. How you spend your money is your business. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyjillin Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 My flipper is a TECH4U which are made in Mexico and have service contact in Mexico City. works just fine for what I want from a cell phone,sending and receiving calls plus storage of regular #'s to call. Even fits in a small shirt pocket. I don't want or need no stinkin' smart phone,I'm too dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Virgo you can sure tell that you are a newbie or ? here. Over the years almost every subject except crime has been discussed here. There are moderators here. We don't need a narrow minded bigot telling us what can be posted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get to decide what is a Lakeside topic. You would not last long as a moderator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
