omg yes, the typing is terrible, it even produces repeating keys somehow.
Just got one and sent it back within 24h, turns out that the battery life was a lie too. I drained 70-80% in 20 hours while not being actively used.
They are coming out with a few more feature phones soon btw: the 2720 Flip, 220 4g & 800 Tough.
Look nice, but I suspect the battery life is shit too. And you get a lot of crapware you cannot remove. (Game demo even)

I don't know if it's your case, but I think battery charge usually isn't reliable fir the first 2 or 3 charges, until it's calibrated.

any idea whether you can do public transport google maps searches on either the 3310 or 8110? Even if it's just via the browser would be fine.
Looking for a T9 phone to keep me from mindlessly browsing stuff all the time but would likely still need maps to figure out bus routes home and such.
Nokia 8110 sucks because of the sliding panel which makes it much harder to type on the bottom key row. T9 seemed to be worse than on other Nokia phones.
I would love to see a new Nokia 3310 with KaiOS.
