I am in love with the design of this phone. it takes me back to the start of the millenia with the japanese infobar 2 phone. these candybar phone designs need a comeback.

I've been waiting so long for this video. Thanks man

This phone is sooo my type! I wish they bring back Android flip Phones again like LG Wine!

I think this would actually be ideal for those who aren't that tech savvy such as some members of the older generation who still keep lists of important numbers written down who have trouble even opening the phonebook on mobile devices. Physical buttons would at least make placing a call slightly more intuitive. One could argue that they might as well get a dumb phone but this may be a stepping stone for them to get interested in further learning and experimenting with smart phones. Very often I've seen some elderly people scared to try using smart phones to make a simple call because they find it quite complicated and they are wary of asking for help because usually their grandchildren sometimes can be rude when asked for help.

Very nice review and totally agree with all the points you made. It is a nice phone but the size is counter productive if you're seeking to get away from a full smartphone as this still offers you most of the functions of a larger smartphone. Yep, the F21 Pro is personally better for me and if the back/delete key issue could be fixed on the K9T9 IME keyboard it would be PERFECT!

Yesssss thank you Jose!! Been waiting for this one !!!!!!!!

Thankyou for making these videos!

If this phone has a horizontal slide out qwerty keyboard I would be in nostalgic heaven 💕 I miss a qwerty so much.

Hi Jose, will F22 work with Tmobile in New York - or where can I find that information? thanks!

Great video. I'm interested in getting this phone. (and open to the f21/f30). How do I find out if it will work in my area? I live in Louisiana. I looked up the F30, but I only find "kosher" versions that do have various restrictions on them. Thanks!

Thanks for fantastic review my friend

Jose- I love your videos. I’m buying a transitional device, ready to minimalize as I’ve shifted my lifestyle from heavy app usage to low app usage. I’m proud to say I’ve weeded out a lot of apps and love that I have more time for other important things, but I still want to take a bigger step. I’m wondering if I should get the F21 or the F22 phone. I need apps like Libby, banking apps, good reads, and maybe some google apps and that’s really it. Do you think the F21 or F22 is better for me? I also have T-Mobile- will either phone work for me? Would love your feedback on this if you have time. I tune in for your videos frequently and am looking forward to making my final purchase through your site!

Nice video i miss this era of phones now days phones are all similar

this what im waiting for year....

Do you know where you purchased the F22 pro with Google? And do you know if the F30 is going to come out yet?

Great review - thank you I always find your reviews helpful and informative- quick question -I notice the supplier is saying don’t factory reset the Google version as you will lose the Google applications? I’ve been gifted an F22 pro - does anyone know how would I take off all my personal info without factory resetting if I wanted to pass it on? I don’t want to lose the Google services ! Thanks

Thanks for hosting the giveaway!!

I have had the F22 Pro for about two weeks. I have T-Mobile and live in NYC. I will say that this is the first phone I've had in a long time that won't get service underground on the subway or if I'm very deep in buildings. That being said, I'm not sure if it's the device or if it's that it's only using T-Mobile towers or perhaps if there is some setting I have set wrong. The other thing that is flabbergasting to me is that the phone doesn't come with T9 already mapped to the physical keyboard. There's no way I could just hand this to my 70-year-old dad and have him figure out how to set that up. In fact, if anyone has links to a good tutorial of how to keymap for this phone, I'd appreciate it. Nearly all the T9 keyboards in the google play store just set up a T9 simulator for the touchscreen, which doesn't make sense when you have a large physical keyboard such as this phone. Anybody have a good link for a tutorial like that?

Thanks for this great review. If i buy the f22 it will be because google maps is a bit better on the bigger screen.

Any way to see if this will be compatible with Telstra service in Australia? Thank you, I have been waiting for this video. Although the newer model is larger that previous, I think it will be a great transition for me from a large Samsung flagship!
