@Walatepabri Oh merci ! Étonnamment, YouTube ne m’avait jamais recommandé de chaîne sur le sujet, mais depuis que je suis tombé sur le #SidePhone hier l’algo me pousse tout un tas de contenus de ce type. J’ai l’impression de tomber dans le même genre de terrier de lapin qu’avec les claviers ergonomiques…

I might have found the dumb phone I want. The #SidePhone seems to be Android-based (which lets me expect some wifi tethering) and it comes with replaceable keyboards — including a compact QWERTY. Has anyone heard of it, or tried it?

(The only drawback is the price tag, around 300 € with the extra QWERTY keeb. Sigh.)

Sidephone software demo shows how the $249 distraction-free phone with a 2.8 inch screen and swappable keypads will work

Most modern phones have big displays and access to millions of apps. But there are a growing number of niche phones aimed at folks looking for mobile devices that are a little less capable. The idea is that a phone without social media apps or maybe even a web browser will be a little less addictive, while still letting you talk, text, and stream music on the go.

The Sidephone is an upcoming […]

Sidephone is a distraction-free phone with a 2.8 inch display and swappable keypads

The Sidephone is an upcoming cellphone that looks like a blast from the past thanks to its candy bar-style design with a small screen positioned above a keypad. The $249 phone is kind of a throwback to a style of handset that was designed primarily for making phone calls, and not much else.

But it’s also a modern device that runs a custom version of Android, so it does support some apps like […]
