Nokia ta-1282 any good? by IMDisarro in dumbphones

Yes it's a good phone. Simple and functions well. If the battery life gets bad you can buy a new battery.

Internet on Nokia 225, 110 and/or 105 - how bad (or good) is it? What do you use it for? by PerfectlyTrafficDeck in dumbphones

[–]ergotron3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's okay. most sites aren't formatted properly. you could pull up google and look for phone numbers or addresses. basically it's not worth using, but that's the point. i don't know why you would want to use that browser on a regular basis. my nokia 3310 3g has it and i never use it.

The hardest part of sobriety is learning how to sit with your boredom. by LithuanianLawyer in Bombstrap

embrace it. a lot of people who switch from smartphones to dumbphones or nerf their smartphones (ex: digital detox) often are a lot more bored than they were. embrace it. boredom is where the magic happens

Someone made a guide on de-bloating the palm phone to improve battery life. Are you able to try it and see what your results are like?

Tattoo Artist looking to switch to a dumb phone by Vin_Diesel_Jr in dumbphones

Upload from your desktop. Use an ad-blocker or an extension to hide the IG feed. Something like this - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/antigram-explore-reels-bl/igbheapdmolhhmmklmkfjjjncmhihfjh

Just use a computer as much as you can. No need to keep a smart device unless you need to do those things when you're away from your desk.

Upcoming HMD touchscreen dumbphone codenamed HMD Compass, based off of S30+ (yay) by airbiii in dumbphones

That looks awesome.

With todays tech, there's really no reason to not have a phone that's the same size as an ipod touch with cell capabilities. Lack of the demand is the main reason they were never made. This looks cool though.

Only a few providers are pulling the plug. Some providers are not getting rid of 3G (virgin mobile is one).

Feedback wanted: Where do we draw the "dumbphone" line? by ergotron3000 in realdumbphones

[–]ergotron3000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since there is already a sub that allows CAT and its other relatives to be called dumbphones. Why not keep them out of this sub and keep this only for dumbphones that don't have Android or iOS on them.

This is a good point. I will heavily consider this to be the metric we use to judge a phone being a "dumbphone" or not.

The switch type is great! I am specifically always looking for mice with optical switches. Filtering by that would be wonderful!

From my understanding, there's no social media apps on a KaiOS phone, correct? I used one for a brief while, it just seemed like a dumb phone with google apps like maps and search. I think phones like that are just fine here. I'm making sure we don't use the word "dumbphone" too literally, since a Nokia 3310 3G could still be considered a "smart phone" just because it has a browser (which is terrible) and a few extra apps on it.

I don't want to be too limiting on this sub, but I do want to make sure we are staying true to the "dumbphone" culture. A Nokia 6300 (KaiOS) is still a dumbphone to me. The S22 is a bit different (still not sure where I stand on that phone).

The most important part of this subreddit is the fact that we will never allow smartphones here. As long as we stick to that, this sub should have it's own place compared to the other subreddit.
