Del is experimentally "throwing in the towel" re: NO smart phone EVER
Welp, here is the end of the story: I only THOUGHT I disliked smartphones. Turns out I REALLY do not like smartphones
This one I bought has poor audio for a nearly deaf guy. I can still use the flip just line. So if I went "smart" I'd have to have more hardware, blutooth or wired headset, etc, to even use the thing for an actual phone
I dislike attempting to deal with say, Google maps on the thing. Just not enough display
PhlakeBooke Marketepharce is nearly unuseable on the thing, same reason as maps
I've had the smart alongside the flip for nearly a month, and today, went into the Verizon joint and had them shut off the "smart" and then add hotspot / tethering to my flip. This is only 10 bucks cheaper a month than having both phones BUT I can hook my main laptop up to the flip and it's nearly like being hooked to the router at home.
I think this is gonna work fine
