the old internet and desire to get a dumbphone in 2024. advice needed!

 i have basically been binging youtube videos on what the best dumbphones are for 2024 and how to interact with the internet and consume media in a more intentional way like we used to. 

i want to get back into using a flip or slider phone, however here in the US, the options are limited with the erasure of 2G and 3G networks. from the sounds of it, my options are either to buy a new flip phone here in the US thats essentially a potato that nobody under the age of 60 recommends (bc most were made for the less techno savvy), or getting a japanese import and hope to god i can get it to connect with a phone service here.

if you have ditched your smartphone, what are some devices you use? I have been looking into different dumbphones, e-readers, point and shoot cameras, mp3 players and ipods (got myself a neon green ipod nano that i love sm). 

I wish so badly i could bring a blackberry keyboard slider or a razor V3 back, but they are fossils now :(
