   Dang 700€ for fairphone 5, divide that by 10 and make a feature phone.

     Which reminds me that I should either look for or make a VoLTE-capable feature phone.

     @waweic I have a Samsung B2100 Explorer so a CAT phone seems like a normal upgrade :D

     @lanodan I use the CAT B35. It does do VoLTE, but it was a bit wonky for me and it is robust, but I'm on my third one now after breaking the first two...

     (If you make one, I'd *love* a phone where you can replace baseband module and SIM as one)

     @waweic Yeah, micro USB is weird but I have a ton of micro USB cables and devices and I'd take that over a proprietary connector (like my current feature phone had).

     Eh, even with VoLTE? Because that's the reason why phones also used to drop connectivity during calls.

     @lanodan Just in case that you should get a CAT B35 at some point: Absolutely handle the charging port (micro USB, WTF?) like a newborn childs eye, it's that fragile.

     If it breaks, it's very difficult to repair and will probably take the keyboard with it.

     Also, the music player app sucks and the hotspot doesn't work while you are in a call
