There are Android flip phones.

Samsung has made a few, too, and some of the other Chinese companies; those tend to be really expensive.

My first thought was "does WebTV even still exist? That can't still exist."

It died in 2014 apparently.

...the gently caress?

It died with its customer base.

Even as someone with a PC and a bunch of games on it, I wanted something without distractions, dedicated to writing, way back in the early 00's. Weren't they kinda expensive for what they were? For some reason I'm thinking like $300.

They were being sold as educational technology for students who couldn't write. Before tablets they had that market pretty much locked up. Being a de facto institutional standard lets you charge a high price.
