I've been using it for half a year and it's great. I rarely even open it. I use all phone functions from the top touch screen.

It satisfies the "small phone" market that no manufacturer caters to. It's so compact and easy to hold without being a "dumb" flip phone. Full utility is always a flip away, but it turns out you don't need that utility for most things.

I don't really need to do anything that requires a double sized screen, I use my computer for stuff like that.

Edit: I actually don't have any nostalgia for flip phones. I had one, but I hated it because it was fiddly and hard to use, I preferred the brick phones or sliding phones. So that doesn't play a part in this phone at all. My "perfect" phone would be a nearly square phone like the razr 2024 but without the interior screen, but only if it supported all apps in that format. It's close now, but maybe 1 out of every 30 apps just doesn't work at all on the outer screen so I have to open it.

If I could have a small, square phone with a double sized battery or something so it was the same thickness as a closed razr 2024, it would be the perfect phone. Small, out of the way, but still lets me get done what I need to get done. Not for consuming media, but for utility.
