  Correction; the OS is not Windows or Android, but rather KaiOS.
This is an Alcatel Go Flip.  It gets bad reviews from people used to
smartphones who expect easy-to-use wifi, bluetooth, email, and web
browsing.  The camera is mediocre too.  I use the Go Flip mostly as a
phone... dohhh.  I like it because it's luddite and it has...

* a physical keypad
* a slot for a user microSD card.  Media files, e.g. photos, can be
  pointed to go to my 32 Gig card.
* a user-replacable battery.
* a functional FM radio.  For an antenna it needs to have ear/head
  phones plugged into "the jack they didn't have the courage to remove".
* no Google Garbage constantly running in the background, so the battery
  lasts 10 or 11 days on standby.
* the option to take any available usable frequency band, or to force 2G
  or 3G or 4G/LTE.
