Love it. Simple and works well. Good solid battery life. Last about 3 weeks with a full charge. Not using it much but just now have my spam calls directed to this new number for $20 a month on T-Mobile

A $99 Time Machine to 2009 (And Not in a Good Way)

I wanted to love this phone—it’s supposed to be a simple, screen-time saver. Instead, I got a $99 blast from 2009.
The good? It makes calls, sends texts, and even has Google Maps (though no GPS, so good luck not getting lost). The bad? It’s bulky, cheaply made, and the hinge felt loose straight out of the box. The camera? Let’s just say it’s more of a decorative feature.
At $39, this would’ve been fine. At $99, it’s insulting. Nokia, if you’re charging premium, at least make it durable—or, you know, decent. Two stars because it technically works.

The phone looks to be very well made. I wanted to drop the data plan through Verizon wireless and was assured that I could through a Best Buy associate. Turns out that Verizon wireless doesn’t offer any plans without data. My only option is to go from Verizon wireless to Verizon prepaid. Probably sounds lazy but it was a step that I didn’t want to take. I wouldn’t have bought it if I had all the information. Still waiting on Best Buy to make my purchase right. The information I got was inherently accurate but very misleading.

My wife is adamant that cell phones are for talking on, nothing more. Her last flip phone wouldn't work at our house, and our provider wasn't being helpful, so a quick trip to BestBuy took care of it. Now she's happy and so am I.

Simplicity is the most important factor that played for me when I wanted to find a cellar phone for my 85-year old mother.

Works well accomodating my basic needs ie; making and receiving calls and messages. Will not allow me to set up my email but that is a minor issue as I email from my computer at my residence.

Reliable phone without all of the extras. I love the big numbers. I’m hard on things & this doesn’t feel very durable. Word prediction was better 20 years ago.

I wanted a simple phone. What I got was a time machine to 2004—with extra frustration. The Nokia 2789 looks cool and nostalgic, but using it felt like trying to text with oven mitts. The buttons were stiff, the menus were confusing, and just setting it up made me question all my life choices. Calls and texts technically work, but everything else felt like a puzzle with no instructions. Great if you want digital detox. Not so great if you want to keep your sanity.

Worked fine on my Verizon account. Changed over in minutes. If you still have physical sim card. Un plug from world. Doee have internet and other wi capabilities. screen is small and typing very hard. Keyboard options to use numbers has predicted text . Turning off and going to old school would be easier. Never stays same style of texting . Even in same message. Had to go back to smart phone was purchased for camping trip that didn't want to risk $1000.00 phone. Still could get text and calls with now issue. There is a restock fee so it just sits on shelf and backup if I break my current phone between upgrades.
