Looks like this is a whole different kettle!

Thinkin' I like it.
 
Change.......... - next thing you know,I'll have to give up my flip phone.
 
Oops. I keep and carry an old Motorola Razr flip-phone. Not gonna give it up, either.
 
I carried a flip phone until last December when the battery gave up the ghost. I could get a new battery, but I had to order it through the manufacturer, and buy 10,000of them. Made the $3 a piece cost kind of irrelevant... So, company phone and I got a iPhone they paid for. Haven't bothered to setup siri or maps or any of that, just use it for calls and messages.
 
Now that goes back a while. When I was still in an office there was someone who had the old bell type ring on their cell. Went off one day when that person was away from their desk and had left the phone. Whoever it was kept trying and finally one of the youngsters yelled, "what is that bell I keep hearing". Too young for the old style bell in the case type phone...
 
If i had to resort back to a flip phone, I'd either go Razr or the StarTAC. I really liked the startac.

I know iphones had issues with maps in the beginning but I think they solved the problem. Using the maps pay for the phone in my opinion. (I know your company paid for yours.) Being in a new town and be able to find a good restaurant 4.4 star or higher is a blessing. I can be driving along and get real time traffic warnings and offers for a different route that could save me time. Try doing that with a paper map.
 
I used the Nokia 6800 until 2012. It had a very cool foldout keyboard that made texting soooo easy. There were lots of cool features on that phone. I replaced it with my first iPhone as I was getting ready to travel overseas and wanted to be able to use google maps. Three weeks after I bought the iPhone it was stolen by a hotel employee. I ended up getting it back! Let's just say I made the thief an offer he could not refuse 😏

Truth. Just look over to the car beside you at an intersection. Chances are there's someone texting, likely even the driver.

For a serious answer, yes it can make calls. In the photo I posted above, the person is about to touch the phone icon (the green button). When that is pressed, the number pad appears.

I was at an intersection in my Spitfire (freshly painted) when a girl in a big Silverado Pickup truck 🛻 rear-ended my as I was stopped at a stop sign🔴. I had the top down, so I heard the truck approaching and saw that she was staring at her phone! BANG! She was "so sorry" - said she didn't see me. Well Duh!!
