content: Thinking of switching from smartphone to a new basic flip phone. New Old School type of phone. Can someone weigh in: Kyocera Flip phone https://kyoceramobile.com/duraxv-lte/ Only a little bit more techie than the average Joe/Jane, I try my best and certain MY BEST is not covering all bases by way of decent privacy and security, but think I do a little better than the average person at least.  None the less, nothing is safe these days, but what is the average person to do?  Feeling that doing something to combat it is better than doing nothing at all. Have heard flashing the smartphone has been compromised and not technical enough to even perform doing it after looking into how to do it.  Forget that, it's too difficult. Try as I may, I think I want to go back to a flip phone for the "Can you hear me now" cellular network and found this one.  It is an expensive flip and I know someone who has it and loves it.  Think it still runs droid platform.  Also, as per the Kyocera website, I do not see anyway to purchase this phone as unlocked and minus any bloatware like my current smartphone bought through BestBuy some time ago.  If unlocked even applies in a basic phone.  I don't trust to purchase from Amazon nor Ebay either.  Perhaps buy from BestBuy again.   Can someone provide me some feedback on this flip?  Would greatly appreciate some knowledgable input before spending some $250 on a new phone.  Thanks much. Edit:  added direct link for company website.
