Imagining the UI I'd want for a somewhat-modernized dumbphone...
I'd want something single-handed & power-efficient which promises a minimalist on-the-go featureset, without sacrificing ease of texting! That's my goal.
You'd operate it using a joystick (doubles as a D-Pad) & 2 additional buttons (typically for "Back" & "New"). The joystick would serve as a keyboard, when you move it in loops according to onscreen labels.
The UI would be menus of your texts, contacts, files, etc.
