   Bought a #Nokia 2720 as fallback for when my smartphone has issues.
   
   Already kinda regretting it since it turns out that I can't change the input language while typing - e.g. if I'm typing something in my language and want to add something in English, I can't.
   
   Gotta exit the screen, head to Settings, pick English as my input language and then head back to the other screen and find out that the other stuff I wrote is gone because that's not how KaiOS does things.
   
   My old 90's Nokia phone could do it, but this thing can't.
   
   I know this isn't really Nokia (it's actually HMD Global using the brand name) but seriously, what the heck?

     @Polychrome not related to your post, but do you remember the name of the old videogame where you come back from space and everyone's gone from earth, and you have to use earth computers do figure out what happened? I vaguely remember that you answered me when I posted about it...

     Okay so investigated further and it actually looks like I can pick multiple languages in the Input menu, and the language swap key (the Hash sign) actually lets me switch between English, English caps, numeric... and my language.
     
     Except choosing that still gives me English. And the official support claims this feature doesn't exist.
     
     So, either HMD Global support doesn't know how the phone works, or the feature is broken and they just gave up. Either way, this doesn't look good. :blobcatgooglytrash:

     @lain maybe @dosnostalgic heard of it. If it was ever on DOS, I bet he'd know.
