The newest google nexus phone uses a chinese company for the cheaper smaller screen model.

My girlfriend's dad is super proud that he only has a flip phone, and he "doesn't need any of those bells and whistles." He also enjoys switching the over-the-air TV stations before you can get involved in a show, and drinking lots of beer, and sports. He also lives in the suburbs and fears the big city.

OP, are you my girlfriend's dad?

Hey my ears are burning and I literally do not own a phone at all. Why? If somebody wants to talk to me they can email me, Gmail is free, I can even send text messages with it. gently caress it, I build fences and herd cows, there's no way anybody needs to get in touch with me RIGHT NOW.

the lumina phones were pretty good but then you get all the windows mobile problems like lack of new apps.

Also lol at being a laughing stock in public for having a windows phone

MS also did a pink slip blizzard for Nokia after buying them out.

I own a smartphone and basically resent the fact that I have to have one to partake in modern life.

I'm also mad that every time I want to deposit a check I have to go search around the house for my lovely phone when I'm already sitting at a desktop PC doing banking poo poo

The new google nexus phone is pretty good if you want a decent budget option.

Also has a smaller 5inch screen version for people who want a more compact phone and frequency wise it works for all carriers.
