Hey folks,

I’ve been using a Doro 7030 for a few months now, but I bought it in pretty bad condition and the battery is awful, so I need to replace it.

I’m not sure what to do next. I don’t feel ready to go back to a smartphone, but I’m also wondering if I should move to something slightly more capable than a basic dumbphone.

For context: I’m a 20M university student in Europe. I already use an iPad for notes and reading slides, I also have a laptop.

These are the options I’m considering:

1. Get another dumbphone with hotspot and use my iPad as my “smart device”. I like this idea as I can't use iPad in social situations or without noticing as it's big.
2. Get a similar dumbphone (calls + hotspot only) and use WhatsApp Web on my computer. Not a huge fan of this as I miss Spotify so hard (mp3 is not the same as its hard to discover new artists ahahah)
3. Just go back to a smartphone… but I guess I'll get glued again so not a fan either.

what are you guys using right now and what would you do in my situation?

Thanks a lot, and happy Easter!
