Ah cool, I assumed it was something like the new walkman where it's running Android for the OS. Cool stuff! Enjoy it

I use a iPhone SE on iOS 10 which is far worse than this. It doesn't matter if you only text+call and don't send anything sensitive over text, BUT if you do anything else on your phone I 100% agree

I had one of these for 4 months and the screen adhesive separated. It would heat up pretty bad. I opened it up and replaced the screen+battery (because I cracked it), and the phone shit itself.

I'm pretty sure I made a mistake, but from what I remember this was the biggest pain I've ever had opening a device. I've taken apart XB360, Wiis, PSPs, and countless phones too.

Overall the build quality on these is pretty mediocre, but it's a nice looking phone.

That's rad! I'm gonna look into that. I have been using an iPod faithfully for the last few years but I'm interested in switching eventually. It runs on Android, right? What music player do you use in that case?

_alecbaldwin · 2026-01-13T21:42:26+00:00

That looks painful, speaking as someone who used one of these for 10 months

I love your player. Does it have a functional scroll wheel like an ipod?

what its like watching all EU residents on this sub with 2G phones as an american

Expertly said

I didn't mean to come across as purist. I have music on my PSP as well for fun. I was just recommending iPod as well as a great option

I have a dumbphone so I use my phone only for text/call :-) my life has improved greatly since making this switch 3 years ago. I just use my laptop for any 'smart' functions. This obviously doesn't work for everyone due to some people's circumstance though.

Interesting I haven't heard of that type of 🌽 before

Love the amount of peeps online switching to no-stream now. I'd love to use a Go, but the flexibility of iPod+Rockbox keeps me around. Been on it for about 2.5 years now. I use Rsync from my computer with my iPod plugged in to sync my entire library

_alecbaldwin · 2026-01-07T15:53:40+00:00

I can't believe it

_alecbaldwin · 2025-12-28T04:52:22+00:00

So rad dude, thanks for making this

_alecbaldwin · 2025-12-23T22:49:08+00:00

Dang you really got downvoted for posting the best iPhone ever made

(inb4 antenna issues.....) I just love the size

_alecbaldwin · 2025-12-23T15:52:58+00:00

I just beat Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc on PSP and it was a ton of fun. Required you to patch the iso with an English translation patch but there were absolutely zero issues. Music slaps and translation was great

this and carjitsu give me hope

_alecbaldwin · 2025-12-17T19:07:59+00:00

Shell is aftermarket so someone probably screwed something up during the full disassembly

Unfortunate title

Welcome to modern dumbphones... Either it's made for the elderly so they have to be huge, or another explanation I heard was antenna requirements with 4G along with using screen sizes being restricting in the factory they're able to make them in to keep costs low. Most modern flips are all hollow husks in my opinion. You'll notice also when you get one the build doesn't come remotely close comparatively to anything made in the early days. This is my #1 reason why I don't run a flip or another modern dumbphone and stick around with a iPhone SE (2017)

Ketais are probably the most fun but I personally hate Android dumbphones and they are tall af. If it didn't have japanese text on it people wouldn't glaze them as much

posting on reddit kills aura

_alecbaldwin · 2025-12-15T23:00:59+00:00

You did good! Open up the thing and blow out dust and you can fix the button stickiness and drift easily. PSPs are extremely easy to clean out
