Latest Moan From You and Me 2025

Thank you @Jack McHammocklashing , I’m feeling confident now

 

Probably it's the support of apps. Only Android and Apple phones allow you to add extra apps to the phone, and to install apps not written by the phone manufacturer. With a feature phone you're typically limited to what's on it when you buy it, so it won't support things like bank and payment apps. A feature phone is just a fancy phone, whereas a smart phone is a pocket computer.

 

OK thanks I didn't know there was a halfway house on these things, can't really see the point but there you go.
I've never heard of a feature phone to be honest.

 

They existed before smart phones; I had a very nice Nokia Asha before my first smart phone, which had a camera and internet access and a complete physical keyboard like a Blackberry. These days the internet equipped ones are more popular in places like India and Africa due to affordability, toughness and long battery life, and the feature phones offered for sale in the UK typically don't seem to offer any internet functionality.

 

I remember when all the trendy people had Blackberries.
Just after the filofax.
