J, 20 Sep 2016Do you even know what's this phone for? This is for non tec... moreWhat i meant was, in the year we live in, a high quality feature phone is not something only the elrderly and non tech-savy would want. Tech-savy that are nostalgic and would like to see a blend of the old and the remarkable new is what a new Nokia should present us, not this Microsoft using Nokia sucker.
The Nokia N85 had an OLED display for example. The elderly people also want to see theyr phone contacts outside, even if its sunny, to at least know who theyr calling before finding a shadow spot for example or if no choice, call them in the spot. Also, making a feature phone that has the ability to display pictures with such display, would be great for the Elderly, since they wouldnt need a smartphone to receive pictures from theyr family or friends, just by a simple cable connect to another phone transfer, trough an app for Android/IOS.

You dont need cameras on a feature phone as they are utterly useless. I had bought a dumb phone 2 months for 850 rupees.

AnonD-491313, 20 Sep 2016Its not like anyone wanted a micro-usb 2.0 in any phone lol... moreDo you even know what's this phone for? This is for non tech savy people and elderly, they don't need those kind of features in a basic phone. If you do want those kind of phone, go buy yourself an Apple, Samsung or whatsoever smartphone there is.
Btw, The phone looks good, if that would be available in the Philippines I would get one since its very dangerous to use smartphones outside (if you know what I mean). So a back up one that can be used to basic text and calls would do for me.

Poor battery, internal memory, RAM and cameras. Samsung and local Indian co.s have much better options at less price. We need good feature phones back again, please

Microsoft Phone? Shouldn't be HMD Global producing this phone? I mean, Microsoft sold its feature phone business and assets to HMD Global and FIH (Foxconns mobile phone subsidary)... Or is this the last feature phone from Microsoft Mobile, before the next feature phone to be produced from HMD/FIH?

Wanna make a feature phone? Make it 480x480, Amoled display with large peak brightness of +500-600 so you can at least see your contacts outdoors and then it would be a nice little pocket beast to have lol.
