It's an android (11) flip phone but without Google store and without touchscreen, so almost nothing works on it

There's no setup, besides disabling the PTT button and making it open the application of your choice (as long as your choice is Clock, Voice Memo, or Music/FM Radio)

The ability to slam the phone shut to hang up, and call via speed dial without opening the "phone" app more than makes up for the lack of Instagram.

If you want a chatbot put 1800CHATGPT on your speed dial

Seems like it will cause me to get stuck at an airport or train station while an employee tells me about the virtues of an app.
This is a possibility, but so far the only public place I've found lacking any paper backup has been ticketmaster music venues

And malls that replaced their maps/hours with QR codes but this seems to be a California thing so can be avoided by not being Californian
