- have a fragile screen/chassis,
- have backdoors,
- have bloatware,
- have a trash battery life...
Oh wait...
Good luck with that.
In terms of the first three, I suggest turning back the clock and purchase the Nokia 5110

On-topic, around 5-6 years ago, I stumbled across the Huawei Ascend Y201 for 29$ from the local mall. In terms of general navigation and very light usage, It was well worth the money spent.
Oh shit. I'm curious more about the NEC P3. 1 thing, does it store phone numbers?

From memory, I believe It was a maximum of 20 numbers.
Though, I don't think It had the capability of assigning names to their respective numbers.

Only if they were still used to these days. The protection of security would be there but, the hardware side of things wouldn't be good.

Without going Into specifics, a lot who utilize cell phones for malicious Intent, opt for older models.
As such, they don't have cell phone sensors etc that can be used to track their activity. I can name each sensor, It's usage and vulnerability and how It can track a given user both on a personal and geographical level. But It's beyond the scope of this post to do so.

Stock Android and decent specs under a good budget. And not to forget good after-sales services.

I own an Android cell phone and whilst It serves me very well Indeed, I don't like the Idea of dealing with an OS (for obvious reasons) developed by Google.
The device Is great, no complaints on my end.

So you more of a skinned OS? What device do you have these days?

I could say android to my list since, some provide the quality of being functional compared to apple but, Nokia is being my thing when I grew up. had 14 buttons with couple of games on it.

I still own an Android (and have done so for many years), but given Google tracks a lot of your activity, I'm not too keen on the OS.
I only use It for general research whilst at work, bookmark the pages and transfer everything at home.

If you're on a tight budget, I would recommend the LG G3 (about 50-60$ on ebay)
Great screen, nice button placement (on the back), and good resolution. Only drawback is the batteries. You might have to purchase extras.
