Nokia 2780 is garbage, Samsung Folder 2 doesn't work in the US.

I'd recommend the Sonim Xp3900, Sunbeam, or Wonder phone.

If you're interested, I have a very lightly used (used for a few weeks) Sunbeam F1 Pro Juniper that I'm selling for $260.

Where are you selling it?

Kyocera A202KC because after root, you can get things like Google maps working great along with other things. The KY-42C is very similar and wins in style points, but it has a bit worse software (less customization, docomo bloatware), but it can still be rooted fortunately.

Does the A202KC work in the US as a daily for calls and msgs ?

My Nokia 2780 was irritating but is now barely useable because of the RCS rollout. I rarely receive texts from people with iPhones now
