The flip phone is much better as a phone: easier to use, better ergonomics, better speaker, amazing battery life. It truly stinks for SMS, but it does work.

I was able to get things sort of working again, so I'm back on the Pinephone. Overall, it's a bit better for me than the flip phone.

I actually loved sending mobile emails and short messages (aka, SMS) on flip phones 2 decades ago.
Well, it sucks for western languages, but for Japanese it works really well.

Speaking of which, just tried Plasma Mobile again after months of not using it at all, and it seems like it became even more buggy than it was a few months ago, while I was hoping for the other way around.
They made 10-key layout unusable again; you type the first character, then the second, and the keyboard immediately dies, so only the QWERTY keyboard currently works.
