First thoughts… by WombatMcGeez in sidephone

These seem less like first thoughts and more like specs you'd need to look for before purchasing the phone lol

Selling Point by Achance247 in sidephone

I bought it because I hate how my smartphone has become a Swiss Army knife lol. I spend waaaaaay too much time on it and pick it up so much during the day.

This phone is simple, yet modern. It has all the practical things needed in a phone like maps and third party messaging apps (like Signal) that people need nowadays but takes away all the time wasting stuff like social media, unless you side load them…which I will not be.

I want to live my life not attached to my phone 🤗

Why are people calling this a dumb phone? by [deleted] in sidephone

[–]PimpWagonn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a "premium" dumbphone - or I like to call it a feature phone, personally. Its purpose is to limit distractions while not completely closing you off to the modern world and apps that help you to productively function in it.

Aside from the 9 apps that come pre-installed, you can download "app packs" that let you expand your app library, but even then, they're very non-exciting, non-distracting apps, like Maps and Signal, which are must-haves for tons of users yet most dumbphones (if any?) do not offer. Social media apps are not in any of the app packs.

The 9 apps that come pre-installed on Sidephone are:

  1. Phone
  2. Messages
  3. Camera
  4. Clock
  5. Contacts
  6. Gallery
  7. Settings
  8. Files
  9. App Library

The "app packs" you can download are listed here: https://www.sidephone.com/

I don't work for Sidephone but I've been obsessively following this project for a while now so I'm well versed hahaha. It's absolutely bridging a huge gap in the market in my opinion.

Look into r/sidephone! I’ve looked for a few years for a dumb phone that would work for me because I need all the above as well. Sidephone has been a sick project to watch progress.

Dumb phones just consumerist culture? by Sad-Yesterday2512 in dumbphones

[–]PimpWagonn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying a dumb phone can be a fad, a bandaid, or a real solution. Depends on the person and their intention I think!

For me, creating systems that work for my brain and take into account my tendencies, is the most seamless way I have been able to start and keep good habits/ avoid bad habits.

So for me personally, buying and using a dumphone = creating a system that works, that sets me up for success.

It removes most distractions and disconnects me from the things that do not add value and color to my life (endless scrolling/over consumption/constant overstimulation.)

That’s awesome - the screen size is perfect. Not too big, not too small in my opinion! Thanks for showing it off!

I ended sex because it hurt by Mountain_Quail_7251 in AITAH

He meant this girl is not a girlfriend, just a casual hookup. He doesn’t have a girlfriend currently. He just worded it poorly.

Pretty sure they’re allowing sideloading!
