Question about Nokia 3210 DS 4G bw

Hello, I would like to buy a mobile phone like this one, but I need a dictionary that performs like the Nokia or Samsung models before the smartphones. How can I find out without trying it out? In a shop, I was told that touchtone phones are now "stupid" just to get customers to buy smartphones. I have a clamshell nokia that no longer has circumflexes, apostrophes, and doesn't save names in full when I save new contacts, and displays them as shortcuts when I search the list, so I have trouble finding the ones I'm looking for (when you have four daughters and then ellipses, that's bound to be a problem!!!) I like to write French correctly in my text messages, which is totally impossible. The shops in my area have almost no choice, and some of the shop assistants are completely unaware and unsympathetic. Your offer is really rich and varied, but it's difficult to make a choice. Thank you for your attention and I look forward to your reply.
