Perfect Phone for Phone Needs (calls and texts!)
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It flips. It's a phone. It's a flip phone! As someone born in the 1900s, I remember the days where we all weren't glued to tiny handheld computers. The freedom of not being immediately reachable and expected to react to messages or notifications that aren't all that important. Using street lights (or wrist watches) as an indicator of when it was time to start heading home. Only being able to check messages once you've returned home from errands for the day... and people who left the messages understanding you may not instantly react and reply. Not to sound like an old man yelling at the sky (I am a woman in her 30s, after all), but I miss how peaceful and simple it was. Enter: Nokia 2780. Yes, I had a smartphone for about 12 years, and it sucked me right in. I lament the time I spent (wasted) scrolling endlessly in apps that brought me nothing of value. I deleted my social media earlier this year, and then realized how silly it was to be carrying around a several hundred dollar smartphone and pay for a big data plan when all I really needed was something to call and text. This phone has weird viewing angles and a terrible camera, but what in the cinnamon toast heck do you expect from a $90 flip phone? It texts and places calls very well, and that is all I want it for! It meets those needs incredibly well, the battery lasts forever since I'm not sitting and scrolling and wasting away using it for 6 hours a day, it's cute, it's small, it's a conversation starter. I couldn't ask for anything more. TL;DR: great phone to use as a phone! Battery easily lasts all day, charges quickly with USB-C, and fits in even the smallest rip-off pockets you find in women's clothing!

Nice and smart
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nokia flip phones are known for their practicality and durability. They are designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, making them a reliable choice for those who need a phone for basic communication. The user-friendly interface and large buttons make them easy to use, while the long-lasting battery ensures you can stay connected for extended periods. However, it's important to note that these phones prioritize essential features over modern conveniences. You won't find the ability to browse the internet or access social media on these devices. Additionally, they may utilize older charging technology and have smaller buttons that can make typing more cumbersome. If your primary needs are durability, simplicity, and affordability, a Nokia flip phone could be a good option.

I LOVE HER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.love this im so happy i downgraded my phone to something more simple, I'm getting so much of my time back by not being glued to my screen all the time. I wish the keyboard was smaller like in older flip phones so that you could type faster. i realize they are big because they are marketed mostly towards the the older crowd, i just whish there were still flips that catered towards young people. the camera is also kinda awesome. obviously its not high quality but its better than i thought and the pictures actually have a certain charm to them because of the camera. Almost convinced some of my friends to go flip! i wish the snake game had more levels and that i could get Spotify tho.

Nokia 2790 flip phome
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this flip phone for my mom. Who refuses to use smart phones! And so far it has been the best flip phone she has had. Its the 3rd phone ive gotten her and the 2 previous ones where horrible, however this Nokia has done its job and she seems to love it! Or she wouldve called me to complain why she hates it! So far she hasn’t bothered me with any complaints! She would call me to complain about the previous ones. Which i live a few hrs away from her and having to buy online a have my sister or niece set it up for her was a pain. This one i purchased in bestbuy where she lives in person. Although price was ridiculous for a flip phone. At the time i just nees to make sure ahe has a phone that works & this has worked well. Wish bestbuy would not charge the outrageous prices for a flip phone thats not worth the price although its worked well. Some smartphones dont cost this much! Do better bestbuy! You are making an enormous amout of profit for a phone you pay pennies for and charge the consumer in excess of 20-40000%!

A Flip Phone for Freedom... But Not for Durability
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.** Final Verdict: While the Nokia 2780 Flip served its purpose as a break from smartphones, its poor build quality and lack of software support make it hard to recommend. If you're considering a flip phone for long-term use, spending a bit more on a rugged model would be a smarter investment. ** Pros: - Call Quality: Clear and crisp audio during calls. However, it lacks modern noise-canceling tech, so background noise is noticeable. - Camera: Surprisingly decent for a basic phone. Expectations were low, but it performed better than anticipated. - Battery Life: Solid performance—easily lasted 3+ days on a single charge. - Digital Detox: If your goal is to escape the smartphone lifestyle, this phone delivers on that front. Cons: -Build Quality: Feels cheap and fragile. Two minor drops led to scuffs, and the phone died within three months despite no water damage. - Operating System: Unresponsive and rarely updated. The lack of support makes it feel outdated quickly. - Durability: Not suitable for active or rugged lifestyles. It didn’t survive light wear and tear.

Large buttons for the Elderly
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The large buttons and it answers when you open it and hangs up when you close it. It was purchased for a 86 year old person that was struggling with the iPhone so now happy with the basic large button easy to use phone She didn’t understand stand camera or internet so I deleted all that, she just wanted to make calls and hang up.

Built-in Ads
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decided to give it a spin because I have been feeling too connected to my mobile device lately. I was disappointed to find that the device has many built in apps, all of which display advertising when opened. Additionally, the built in news and weather apps also open advertisements as soon as they are opened. I find it disappointing that even a basic device such as this one has advertising. Regarding build quality, the device is larger than I remember flip phones being, and that is a good thing as it's comfortable to hold & the buttons are easy to press. The camera is fine; it is better than I'd expect out of a flip phone. The speaker is nice and loud, and calls are clear. It excels at being a phone, but I am bothered by the built-in non-removable apps that have advertising built in. For the price point, I would not expect built-in advertising. I will be returning the device.

Trying to do too much and somehow does too little.
|Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] Build: Very chintzy, feels like it will break in your hand. You eventually get used to it and I don't think it is actually fragile it just doesn't feel as sturdy as perhaps it is. The buttons are mushy are are not very distinct. It makes it harder to type without looking at the keys. It might as well be a touch screen. Software: There is more even in this flip phone than I wanted or needed. I bought this because I am trying to downsize and disconnect. There are apps like Youtube that I will not use and there is no way to hide. The best you can do is move the app to the last page. It is pretty frustrating that it is smart enough to have these apps but not to hide or even delete them. I do really like like apps like the "ToDo" app that comes installed. Things like this that increase productivity are useful. On the other hand the ToDo app is super basic and doesn't even let you rearrange the order of your tasks. The phone, messaging and calendar apps are very slow. These are the most basic things that I am going to use the phone for and there is a lot of lag. Another thing that is really frustrating is that you have to click the enter, back or end call button more than once to get it to work, particularly when you are navigating through the phone. The end call button does not always work and you think you would be able to hold the back button to go home but that is not an option so sometime you have to mash the back button to get all the way back home which is tedious. A lot of the apps are janky and lag when navigating around them. In the contact app when you open it and press "down" to start scrolling through your list the app will just jump back to the top of the list and it will do this indefinitely unless you press down 2 or 3 times in rapid succession. Very annoying. Battery Life: It's great. I don't really have any recent experience of another feature phone to compare this to but it lasts for days without a charge and as long as I can get through one day without a charge anything else is a bonus. It also charges fast which is nice. Camera: I use it to take photos of things I need to remember. I am not using it for photography per se. I will say that it takes forever to actually take a photo from the moment you press the button. Typing: T9 is T9, however I will say that when you are using predictive text and press the 4 key "ghi" expecting to get "I" it will give you "G". Who posts a G on its own? If you press that key you think it would start you off with "I" since that is a very commonly used word but predictive text doesn't really kick in until you add a second letter. You would think that if you pressed the "_"space button after pressing "ghi" that it would correct the "G" and make it an "I" but it does not. This may sound like a nitpick but likely one of the very few things you will be doing with this phone is texting so this is extremely tedious. Other: USB C is very welcome. It can take up to a 32gb SD card. I like to put podcasts on the phone to listen to in my car which leads me to my biggest complaint about this device. The Bluetooth for media is horrendous. I haven't tried using Bluetooth for phone calls but when attempting to listen to audio in my car the audio will just stop and then catch up all at once. The audio skips around so I miss most of anything I am listening to. I would just use the Aux cable but the Aux cable will not play sound out to my car at all and I know that it is not my car because I have an mp3 player that works just fine. In fact, the auxiliary port does not work at all, even on a pair of headphones. Conclusion: I said a lot of negative things about the phone but there are two massive benefits that override all of these complaints. 1) The price It is inexpensive. 2) It is unlocked You can activate it on most GSM carriers (which is most carriers) These two benefits combined are so valuable. I like the red color. It works well enough and you can grow use to the phone's shortcomings. I am saving money on a prepaid carrier and the phone is helping me to unplug which has been much needed for my mental wellbeing. I don't regret my purchase (unless I see something similar for the same price that works better which I have not).

Unlocked Flip Phone That Is Adequate, Yet Powerful
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as sleek & lightweight as the LG Wine, but more powerful. I was looking for a flip phone to replace my LG Wine, and this was the only unlocked flip phone available. "Predictive" is the devault for texting, so a couple extra keys have to be pressed then texting. And searching for contacts is clunky because this Nokia will only search for the first name and not first & last names. But the screen is bigger and the Nokia allows better (and faster) access to Google and YouTube - though I have been unable to listen with headphones plugged into the jack (I'll probably have to look up directions for this). It's a good flip phone, but hopefully Nokia comes out with another version that is just as powerful, but more user-friendly like the LG Wine II.

Works as expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as expected, bought as a first phone for kids. Battery life is as expected for what it is, and lasts longer than current smart phones. The hindge however started grinding after 2 weeks of use. Unknown if kids got it dirty, slapped it open to hard, or phone failure.

Nokia 2780 Flip Phone
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This phone is easy to set up and simple to use. It has good battery life, the large buttons work well, and it folds so it can easily fit in a pocket. It has some apps, Google maps, email and internet capability, and a camera; they're functional but nothing fancy. However, it works great for phone calls and texting which suits my needs very well. I love it!

NOOOO
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not buy this. Do not buy from Best Buy. 1. The phone is very cheap. My screen malfunctions from day 1. It grays out & is unresponsive then recovers on its own. The battery life is short, requiree charging daily even without much use. It cannot maintain a bluetooth connection in a car. Pictures received in texts will be a 1cm thumbnail, open individually to grainy 4cmx6cm screen. You can download & slightly zoom on the screen. Images with words are almost impossible to read. The texting does not default to capital letter I so your texts cannot use first person pronoun unless you hit 4 buttons to select it. This is a step too far from screen detox into self-flagellation. No thanks. 2. BestBuy customer service is polite & totally impotent. 14 day window is written in stone. I purchased 21 days ago and i need to eat it.

It is a flip not a smart phone
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's OK. The processor is not great so it's pretty slow navigating the menu. Texting is not like the old days when you'd have to press the numbers several times to get the right letter. Rather, you press numbers and the system predicts what word you are trying to get and then you have t pick the word in a menu. The youtube and browing apps are so bad and slow they're unusable. Picture quality is not good. But then again, if you want smart phone features and usability get a smart phone. This does the job of being a phone. It is plastic so I hop it holds up. Overall, pretty pleased and my 10 year old is happy with it so far. I think he misses his apple watch though.

Great phone for seniors
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to use for seniors.Big buttons. Bright. My 84 year old Father in Law wanted a smartphone then never used it, it was too much for him, wanted to go back to something simpler. This fit the bill. Perfect size for his pocket, ease of use........some people just want a simple phone, this is it.

Great flip phone for talk and text
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very decent flip phone, does everything I need it to do, which is mostly phone calls and occasional texts. The texting is clunky, using the number keys to select the letters you want, and the "predictive" text option seems pretty useless to someone used to texting on a smartphone. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to remove the bloatware. Why does this phone come with the YouTube app? I can't ever see myself wanting to watch YouTube on a flip phone. So I would prefer just to uninstall some things to free up clutter. But overall I am pleased with the purchase for the purpose I need the phone for. I haven't used the camera so I can't speak to that, but the battery seems to last a good long time.
