Ruggedized phone group takes the Bullitt, calls in PWC as administrative receiver

I have a CAT S22 Flip. Bought it because it was going cheap, well beep...!! But I really like it apart from it being bulky and looking like it has the ability to hammer in nails. Yes, the security updates have stopped, so will probably be a problem longer term. Although I wouldn't do much on it and that was the point... Cut down what could be done!! I don't know why you can't get a decent proper Flip phone, not a folding flip with an up to date Android version on it!

Re: Nostalgia Isn't What It Used to Be!

Ahhh, that triggered a memory, the RM 380Z with 8 inch floppy discs... That was definitely my first exposure to something that looked PC like... ZX81, TI994a, BBC Model B... As others said, a career born out of that time!

Whoa-o BlackBerry, bam-ba-lam: QWERTY phone had a child. 5G thing's newly styled

I'll have to agree on this. I did love the Key2 until it stopped getting updates. That's the major problem they need to solve methinks.
