I'm not even your age, but I agree completely. I have a nokia 110 4g,
and it is perfect! Lasts me about 1.5 weeks without charging it.

I've got a Nokia 4.2 that's served me well but the battery is starting to
degrade. I'll probably go with another Nokia since they seem to have
recovered with the HMD partnership.

The dumbphones are ok, but not great. Mostly living off the brand. My feeling is that they were much better in the 90s. In my more recent experience the buttons give up after 2-3 years.
Their smartphones I don't know anything about, so maybe those are better.

The only drawback is that I cannot use Uber so I pay 3-4x for a taxi the
regular way. =(

Last winter I had an eye operation where they insisted someone drive you
home. I said I would call a cab. The nurse broke the news to me that there
weren't any cabs left. I went home and set up an Uber account in
preparation.

Sadly that doesn't work in europe, or I never managed to get it to work on my computer. =( Bolt (European Uber clone) also say that you can use a web interface, but it also never works.
Strangely enough, in eastern europe, there is a local taxi company that have a website that actually works and they do give you a fixed price. I wish they would expand to the rest of europe. ;)
