Fig came out with a new phone. They claim it’s significantly better than the previous model. I’m in the market for a new phone and trying to figure out what to go for.
Can anyone give me information based on personal experience? Is it durable? Are the new apps useful (music etc)?

I have it and really really like it. Was ready to give up my flip phone but the texting on FIG 2 is great - it’s touch screen. Waze works too. The camera is the best I’ve seen of a flip phone. It’s the best and most convenient option for a flip phone!

Can you program it yourself for your personal needs, ie which apps to have?

It's so expensive.
Can anyone tell me if it's worth the price?

So far so good. The files can have music which is google drive so mostly been using that. The software seems the same as android

For me it definitely was.
It’s a convenience and is letting me hold onto having a dumb phone. Realize that iPhones are easily 1200 so this seems like a nice price for kedusha

If it breaks - there’s no way to really have it fixed and if you dropped it, then it is not under warranty at all. I haven’t met someone who has never drop their phone….

I'm very happy with mine! I like the features and they are very good about bug fixes and coming out with new features. I've also had crazy drops on concrete and so far so good BH, but I wish they'd come out with a silicone skin like they have for the previous version.

My phone is a week old and never dropped and already has a crack by the fold area. Horrific quality. Does their customer service help?

I have a relative who is having real issues with their fig phone. Customer service is very unhelpful. Be wary.

It’s good for social reasons so it shouldn’t look like you have a smart phone. But it’s really a filtered smart phone.

It's really not a smart phone.
There is no browser. No app store. It's slightly more open than a totally dumb phone.

First, you have a kosher smart phone.
Second, there is no way to remove the filter on the FIG as far as I know. It is set up and there is nothing that can be changed. There are ways to get past the iphone filter, so it is less "kosher"
you can also take it to TAG whenever you like to add more apps. As far as I know, once they open it for you, you can add whatever you want and then they'll relock it. How kosher is that really?
Third, the fig is extremely limited. It has a total of what, 4 apps outside of text and call? How many apps do you have on your phone?
