Texting on a flip phone is an exercise in frustration for me. And I'd rather text than talk, conversations are much shorter, and I hate talking on the phone.
But the future usability of a flip phone is what I would be concerned with. There are some new ones on the market that will work with the updated systems though.
Some of us use text to plan phone calls, now that not driving all the time. Had one dispatcher that got his panties in a wad if I would not answer, or hung up as soon as he said something that indicated it was not a emergency. Kept telling me to get hands free. Did not understand they did not sell spare minds, with big motor and only one gearshift the hand was not the issue.
A lot of both incoming, and out going texts on my phone are "Can you talk"
When working I carried a flip and late a smart, at the same time. One thing I liked about the flip was I could have half a dozen numbers that could dial with a couple of buttons by feel. "What is your wife's phone number?" "2"
