It feels like the reviewer wants a smartphone. This is not a smartphone, and it never claims to be. It's just a glossed-up version of the classic Nokia "dumb" phone - which is exactly all some people want/need.

But for the price they're asking, it would deserve some minor updating. A 2-3 week battery, 3G/4G, support for most commons "chat" apps (Whatsapp, FB messenger). It would play to the phone's strength while keeping its minimalism.

Yeah for a lot of this review I felt like my response would be "isn't that the point"? It's obviously not for everyone but the simplicity or lack of features will be a good thing for a certain audience.
