  1. Deshitification

    May was the first month I missed in 3 years of blogging. Enshitification was 1 of the reasons.

  2. Samsung SGH-E700
    (2003)

    A monumental release that redefined the aesthetics of clamshell mobile phones and firmly established Samsung as a global design powerhouse. Before the E700, almost all flip phones (including Samsung's own highly successful earlier models) featured a prominent, stubby external antenna. The E700 changed the game by integrating the antenna completely inside its sleek, pebble-like chassis.

    Technical Specifications:
    Displays: 1.8-inch internal TFT display (128 x 160 pixels, 65k colors) and a revolutionary external OLED screen (256 colors, 64 x 96 pixels) that remained completely hidden behind a dark fascia when inactive.
    Memory: 9 MB of shared internal storage (no memory card slot expansion).
    Camera: VGA (640 x 480 pixels) capable of taking multi-shot bursts.
    Connectivity: IrDA (Infrared port), WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10. (No Bluetooth included).
    Battery: 800 mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack.
    Dimensions: 90 x 45 x 23 mm.
    Weight: Extremely pocket-friendly at just 85 grams.

    The engineering and design synergy on the E700 was remarkable. By removing the external antenna, Samsung created a perfectly smooth, highly pocketable device that didn't snag on clothing. The signature dark blue and silver color scheme became an instant classic, looking incredibly premium and futuristic for 2003.

    The external OLED display was a major talking point. Not only did it show the time, battery status, and caller ID with high contrast, but it also functioned as a full-color viewfinder. Users could close the phone and use the external screen to accurately frame self-portraits with the VGA camera—making it one of the earliest champions of the "selfie" long before front-facing cameras became the industry standard.

    The SGH-E700 was a massive commercial triumph, selling over 10 million units worldwide and cementing Samsung's formidable reputation in the European market. It remains one of the most important devices in the evolution of modern mobile design, proving that technology and high fashion could flawlessly intersect.

  3. This is an adorable flip phone, unlocked, with great color choices, and good price.

    I'll consider one, but I don't think I can do it due to various addictions. 😁

    I'll think about it.

    I've done a lot of muting on my commercial social media feeds. That has helped so much. Maybe later, the mobile.

    I'm focusing on real reading (of books!) now. Feels so good.

  4. Arvosteluputkestamme tällä kertaa puhelin, joka mahtuu pieneenkin taskuun..

    ..eli moderni taittuvanäyttöinen simpukkapuhelin, Motorola Razr 70 Ultra. Puhelin vakuutti arvostelussamme, vaikka sekään ei suinkaan täydellinen ollut. Mutta pidimme luurista, todella paljon.

  6. Commodore Callback 8020 flip phone with Sailfish OS now available for pre-order

    The Commodore Callback 8020 might be one of the strangest phones of the year so far. The company now calling itself Commodore is leaning into the nostalgia of its name with a handset designed to look like a 20-year old flip phone.

    But while it has a small screen on top and number pad on the button, it is a modern smartphone that runs the Linux-based Sailfish OS and supports many Android […]

  8. Interesting device. My teenage daughter is actively looking for a flip phone, this is certainly interesting although the price is a bit too serious, however, you‘d probably end up spending a similarish sum on a used iPhone….

  11. Hey #Fediverse #Canada #technology #flipphone #phone

    It looks like Bill C22 might pass soon.

    I'm looking for a reliable flip-phone that I can purchase within Canada that is

    - reliable
    - easy enough to use
    - works with all the major Cdn telephone carriers
    - inexpensive (in case spooks want to install spyware/ODIT on it)
    - does talk and text (I'm not taking any chances on intalling apps especially android)
    - has a 3.5 mm audio jack
    - is highly resistant to ODITs being installed on it (an old Linux phone would do)
    - can be ordered/purchased from a business that has a presence in Canada

    I would be willing to order from ebay or Amazon if I could not find one locally (Small Cdn town).

    If you can recommend one that I can easily obtain then that would be greatly appreciated.

    I can always use my old android phone as a media player or a 911 phone.

    I'm planning to get a voip phone from an internet provider. The old POTS phones are almost gone.
    The flip-phone will be a backup and mobile option.

    Thanks.

  13. Welcome to the Internot

    Smartphones? Too smart.
    Dumbphones? Too dumb.

    We built the phone in between.
    Does everything you want, nothing you don’t.

    It’s the not dumb dumbphone.

  15. Love the idea, #Commodore, and would be tempted - but £400? I get its "competitive" with similar ethos phones but I also think they're too expensive for reduced features. <£200? Maybe, if camera is good, I can tether data, and I can remove WhatsApp.

  17. “without android” got my attention.

    The price for a flip phone startled my TWENTY years ago flip phone owning brain. So, not so bad.

  18. Commodore’s new product is a flip phone. 😬 I hope they only manufacture enough to fill their preorders, or it’s goodnight again for Commodore.
