    KaiOS a smart phone wanna be

    Date: Jun 17 2023
    Summary

    I wanted a "dumb phone" not a flip phone that wants to be a smart phone. I had two different smart phones, and after two years, I made the decision to go back to a simpler phone. I was forced to upgrade because my last phone, a flip phone, was only 3G capable. Now I'm stuck with a piece of garbage, because it seems to be too much to ask for a SIMPLE and FUNCTIONAL device these days.

    Positive

    Not much of anything. For what I use it for, it fails miserably compared to an older flip phone. It really is pretty much a paper weight.

    Negative

    Certain setting changes would revert to default when exiting the app, No matter how I tried to save the changes before finally giving up. Like android, certain built in apps and services could not be removed.
