I think flip phones are more likely. I’ve contemplated several times of turning my phone in for the old flip phone. Might just be the nastalgia talking though.

Might just be me, but I see smartphones as one of the most powerful devices on the planet.

It’s in the way that you use it.

Maybe the keitai will finally have its moment globally.

Oh, oh, oh! Can I finally do the Celebi event in Pokemon Crystal. For those who don’t know, the only way you could get a Celebi in the original Pokemon games is if you had a Japanese flip phone (I’m pretty sure that included the Keitai) and went to a Pokemon Mobile phone system thingy, then did some stuff in the Pokemon Center and one of the nerses will give you the GS ball. But this system only worked on Japanese cartridges.

If your serious, Straight Talk has flip phones that work on Verizon networks. I saw one at Walmart just the other day.

Signal as in the secure messenger Signal. My bad for not being clearer on that :)
