The only things I appreciate about the phone are that it has a USB port for charging instead of a barrel plug, and it can store more messages.

The Nokia-branded feature phones produced during Microsoft's ownership and ones produced currently by HMD Global are based on somewhat horrible generic Chinese feature phone platforms and lack the finish and localisation. HMD likes to call one of them Series 30+. Nokia's Series 30 is easy to use and reliable feature phone platform, Series 30+ is not.
They're just a gimmick that's a complete win from a marketing side though. I know Nokia, I've seen their new feature phones everywhere, I've found out that they have sturdy, decent smartphones now (like the 7 plus) running Android One, and I've made three purchases from them this year.
But the platform was actually getting quite good before the burning platforms memo thanks to PIPS and Qt, oh well.
