We suspect the "select markets" that the Nokia 222 (or its dual-SIM variant) are headed to don't include the US, not least because of the 900/1800 MHz radios, still, we're weirdly taken by its design. Nokia fans may have spotted it's very similar to the even more affordable ($29) Nokia 215, but with a much improved camera and a few aesthetic improvements. There's also a flashlight, that the PR kindly explains what you might use for.

Likewise, the 2-megapixel camera may be modest, but the handset is still good for Skype or Facebook, plus direct phone-to-phone sharing ( via SLAM). While we're joking about it being an MP3 player with a phone attached, it does support SD cards (up to 32GB) that you could stuff with media.

Despite the obvious limitations of a "2.5G" candybar running a bespoke OS (Nokia Series 30+), there are some features - like month-long battery life - that remind us that fancy-pants flagships can have their drawbacks. Of course, this isn't really a media player, it's a feature phone aimed at developing markets. Today, in 2015, that's called the Nokia 222. I'm also relatively new to it and still learning the ropes, but I've been amazed by how helpful and informative people are on the various phone subs I belong to.There was a time when, if you'd told me I could buy a connected MP3 player with a camera that makes calls, for $37, I'd have suggested a little less "jazz" in your cigarettes. If breaking an addiction to apps, social media, or your smartphone is something you'd like to do, I wrote out a few tips/ideas in this earlier post.Īnd I agree with you about Reddit. If you have an older smartphone kicking around or a tablet or something, it can make life out there in the world with a dumbphone easier if you can promise yourself that you can look at X app or Y social media account once you get home. Thanks to it, you can listen to FM radio and your own MP3 music files. Just like the NUU F4L, the Nokia 2720 has 4G support that allows you to connect to popular services like Facebook and Whatsapp, but it doesnt stop there. If it's something you can afford, I would personally recommend having some kind of smart-ish device for at home use only. In terms of design, the Nokia 8210 is definitely the most mellow new Nokia phone, with a traditional candybar design language, equipped with a 2,8' QVGA display and, you guessed it, a 3.5mm audio jack for old school audiophiles. It's a great little device, and I learned about it here! The FiiO also works with microSD cards - I put a 128 GB card into mine so I've now got Spotify plus my own music library on the device (and obviously one does not need to be connected to WiFi to listen to music that way). Using the phone as a mobile hotspot works perfectly for me, though. You just connect the FiiO to the WiFi signal the phone is beaming out. You will definitely need a dumbphone with 4g and a mobile hotspot if you want to use the FiiO, since it requires an Internet connection to use Spotify.

You might want to look at the Sonim XP5 too (it's a candybar phone, so a good alternative to the XP3 if you're not into flip phones), and just scroll through the posts on this sub - it's full of users posting their experiences with various dumbphones, so you'll likely find something that sounds right for you on this sub alone.

There are lots of great dumb/feature phones out there provided that you're not set on too many features. I've not yet found a feature phone that has Spotify built into it, so I've used either the Mighty Player or, more recently, the FiiO M6 (the latter based on a recommendation that I got from this sub). I'm not a driver, though, so I haven't really felt the absence of Maps particularly acutely. It's super slow, as can be expected, so I only use it when I absolutely need it, but the GPS works fine.

My more recent solution has involved getting a 4g feature phone that has an invariably bad browser and using that for mapping when absolutely necessary. However, lots of people on the BlackBerry sub (and some people here) have had great luck with these devices, so maybe it's just me. Unfortunately, I've had terrible luck getting BB 10 OS devices to work properly for about a year now, so I can no longer personally recommend them. The best dumbphone-esque experience I had that also included both Spotify and Maps was with a BlackBerry Passport, which was an exceptional phone and, given that it ran BB 10 OS, too outdated to reliably run a lot of apps (which was exactly what I wanted to minimize distractions - luckily both Spotify and Maps ran pretty well).
