Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.
Yep, 79 year old father in law has a brand new dumb phone with a t-9 keypad, made by TCL. Works perfectly fine.

Yeah, for around 20-30 euros you can get a cheap Nokia branded phone as far as I'm aware (105 and 106 series for example).
Yep. They even made a new 3310.
