I want an Android phone with a full physical keyboard, blackberry style. Not sure if I want to 'digital detox' but I don't value a lot of what our common phone design has to offer.

These retro-style phones offer limited functionality, lower costs, and are gaining popularity due to digital well-being concerns. Counterpoint projects feature phone sales to reach $2.8 million by 2023, driven by minimalist movements, cost-effective B2B sales, and budget-conscious consumers.

What's the phone on the left in that top image?

Edit: turns out it isn't a phone - it's a Gameboy Advance SP.

One of the Samsung Flips most likely

I thought all the Samsung ones had a screen that covered the whole of the inside section? This one only had a screen on the top.

It is just a skin/wallpaper of GameBoy. Everything is a screen in the image.

Has anyone found cell only and cheap service (<$20/mo)? (USA) If I have a feature phone, I don't want data. I looked for years and failed.

Edit: I had failed to notice I am in a thread over a year old.

Tello has a plan with no data for under $10 a month

Finally sorting by recent comments pays off!
