#dumbphone — Public Fediverse posts

Hab das Smartphone eben verkauft. Und jetzt festgestellt, dass Signal Desktop gern möchte, dass ich mit dem Smartphone verbunden geblieben wäre - jetzt muss ich erstmal rauskriegen, wie ich das alles sicher und neu via Dumbphone aufziehe. Bin froh, wenn ich mich finally technisch neu sortiert hab. Und darüber, dass ich wieder ein bisschen Kraft für diese Tech-Orga hab weil mir das eigentlich Spaß macht 😊 #degoogle #signal #dumbphone

Has anyone used this or has even better suggestion?

I'm now in need of a dumb phone that I can travel around with - a phrase that I hadn't imagined myself muttering.

Ideally something that looks similar - something that people don't need half a brain to tell that it cannot install apps and only works with calls and text.

While writing a review of my new phone, I realized what keeps me away of screen addiction is screen size and physical keyboard. https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/1un9m5i/tt990_early_review/

Amazon may be working on a new smartphone (for some reason)

More than a decade after launching and quickly cancelling its first smartphone, Amazon is reportedly working on a new phone.

According to a new report from Reuters, several people familiar with the initiative say Amazon is developing a new phone that’s code-named “Transformer.” But it’s unclear if or when you’ll actually be able to buy a new Amazon-branded smartphone.

The company’s first […]

I know this sounds contradictory, but is there such a thing as a #dumbphone that runs a privacy respecting version of #android, similar to /e/OS? I'm planning to buy a phone for a kid, and I was originally looking at a #Nokia3210 or something similar. No apps or internet access. But then I wondered if a compromise existed. Specifically, it would be nice to be able to setup #owntracks on the phone, for location sharing, and maybe a few other useful apps, like #comaps. Does such a device exist? 🤔

Ich lese gerade über den Trend zum #Dumbphone unter Jugendlichen. Eigentlich ein guter Trend. Aber: es ist wieder mit #Konsum verbunden (Dumbphone kaufen). Habe es gerade mal ausprobiert: einfach mobile Daten und WLAN ausschalten, und schon hast Du aus Deinem #Smartphone ein Dumbphone gemacht. Noch billiger als ein stylisches Retro-Nokia-Handy 😉

If you could swap your smartphone for another device, what would that be?

You're strongly encouraged to explain your response.

Alright, Apple, I give up. I've ordered a Sunbeam F1 Pro Juniper.

I will buy any "#dumbphone" with this 2 essential features.
Do current #Nokia #featurephone have them?

If groups of parents can band together when deciding on the right age for a smartphone for their younger children, they will stand a better chance to avoid making decisions based on peer pressure at school.

@spocko The future prediction definitely doesn't apply to me.
My telephone is on the desk - I never have it with me, am I the only one?
