I miss the early 2000’s so decided to deactivate my iPhone and activate this flip phone. I loved the nostalgic feel I got from using it but dude is it a pain to go from using an iPhone to this, with texts taking much longer and no useful maps to use. Also build quality is still superb like I knew it would be. Still love it tho and will keep it forever for nostalgic memories. May reactivate it again and use it for a while at some point.

This Nokia 2780 is just right for me. Its a basic phone, but stronger, heavier & thicker than the Nokia 2720. Works well for peace of mind when driving. I just wanted something for talk & text. The rep at the Best Buy in Fredericksburg (Jon) was very helpful, kind and professional. He understood exactly what I wanted as a young senior just a bit over 65. He was not pushy or looking down on me for not wanting a smart phone when I have computers at home for all that. Very pleased with the phone so far and the great service I received. I'll be back. Thank you so much.

AT&T ended 3G service and my dad needed a basic clam shell phone with 4G. The Nokia 2780 is what I and he was looking for. He doesn't need all the apps of typical smart phones because he only needs a cell phone to make basic phone calls.
Took the AT&T sim card, popped it into the Nokia, and it works perfect. Charging is by USB-C port like so many other phones are using these days. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because its plastic construction but better than other prepaid clam shell phones I've looked at. My dad loves it because it's so basic and easy for him to use.

Don't mess up a flip phone with KaiOS. If I want a smartphone, I'll buy a smartphone. If I want a flip phone, I don't want "smart-ish" features like access to the internet. Especially on a tiny low-res screen with a low-res camera. Pick a frickin' lane. I wanted a simple flip phone as a first phone for a child. I may have to return this.

My husband got very frustrated with his smart flip phone. It was constantly sending him notifications, was difficult to navigate, and sometimes things didn't work properly. He said he wanted a simple flip phone like he used to have. I was surprised to see this Nokia still available. We bought it, transferred the SIM card, transferred contacts, and he lives it! So much easier to use. No touch screen - everything by menu and select. The notifications for texts and phone calls are easy to see and get to - plus easy to clear. This phone is simple but has everything he needs - talk, text, email and pictures. This is a great inexpensive "old tech" phone that works perfectly for him.

Nice flip phone. Large keys with large characters, easy to read. Relatively snappy action, since it's not burdened with a plethora of apps. Good for older folks and seems to be plenty loud at highest level(s). Have not used camera so cannot comment.
I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent device. Allows me to disconnect from the distracting smartphone. The smartphone might be smart, but this little flip phone is wise. There's nothing on it to distract me. I just want calls and texts, and that's what I get with this. It's given me my life back! Thank you, Nokia!

I really like my new Nokia Flip Phone. It fits in my pocket and I do not have to carry it in my hand or wonder where It is most of the time. It works very well and it has all of the features that I need. It is also less expensive.

this is the perfect no nonsense phone for older adults. big easy to see key pad, large clock and date screen and is perfect for people who just need a phone for making emergency calls when out and about. it's easy to operate and fits comfortably in either your pants pocket or in a small hand bag
