I am given to understand that nobody really wants their new bendy phone
despite the huge number oof commercials. I think they just do not trust a >bendy screen will last very long and feels difficult to use.
Bring back the Blackberry I say.

Exactly. I've already got a very nice smartphone that does everything
I need from a smartphone, and can't think of any immediate reason to
change it for another one. Anything that I might want to do on a
bigger screen would probably require me to sit down somewhere to do
it, and I've already got computers that enable me to do that.

Likewise. I'd still be using my Samsung Galaxy S7 from about 5 years ago
if it hadn't developed an intermittent spontaneous-rebooting problem
which forced me to buy a newer Samsung A54. The new phone has a slightly larger screen and a better camera (three lenses for wide, normal and telephoto), but those changes weren't enough to make me ditch the old
phone if it had still been working OK.
I treat a phone as a web-browsing and email-reading device, but the
small screen and hence small on-screen keyboard makes it very cumbersome
for anything which requires non-trivial typing. I have a laptop and a
desktop computer for those things!

I say bring back the Nokia 7110. Matrix Slider and a serial port, you
don't need anything else!

None of you are the intended market for these devices, you (and I) are too old. Youngsters run their entire life on phones and rarely venture to
laptops or tablets. They also have better eyesight and are more dexterous.
