Anyone here still use a dumbphone?
I've been wanting to get one lately since I only talk and text and don't like using apps.
>Pic related
even homeless people have smartphones where I live
A friend of mine does, and he's a CS student.

We live in a society where the poorest of the poor can own a smartphone. I would like to someday switch to one, and almost did about 5 months ago. Then the Apple Watch was announced and now I am a consumerist slave who will be buying it day one :^)
>>46923714
Smart. Less distractions
>>46923693
How do the homeless pay $200 a month for a data plan? Panhandling must make more than I thought.
>>46923759
Prepaid Data with a cheap droid phone. That right there is proof enough that droids are for poor people. Droid btfo
>>46923759
more like $30 a month, thats the cheapest straight talk (wal mart prepaid) service card you can buy around here. It's 2GB data then throttling
>>46923571
I kind of want to get one, just for calling, nothing else.

I'm a CS student and have a dumb phone
Since I dropped my Nexus 4 I've been using a Samsung dumbphone - about a year now. I've been meaning to get it fixed.
It's not really that dumb, it plays music, has a headphone port, can receive email and has a (pretty shitty) camera but it has a T9 keyboard and cost almost nothing unlocked. I also have my old Nokia in a drawer for emergencies.
>>46923846
Charlie?
>>46923859
Nah sorry mate
>>46923571
my razr just died on me...
got rid of my data plan ages ago and havent regretted it.
i hate looking at my fucking phone.
not having a smartphone is an excellent excuse to stay out of contact, because for some reason no one else can imagine their lives without them.
i have no need for gps right, but when the need arises, ill get a dedicated unit so im not hamstrung by my map programs dependency on data.
my demographic is generally glued to their smartphones, however to me they just feel like bricks of gorilla glass shill.
I always wanted this bad boy when I was younger.
>>46923888
I wanted to pick one up after playing Cry of Fear. Seems pretty cool.
>>46923897
I remember playing a game where you would shoot a guy out of a cannon, and hit stuff on the way.
>>46923879
>to me they just feel like bricks of gorilla glass shill
This. I want a phone that's simple and sturdy. Most phones nowadays tend to get a broken screen easily. Also, smartphones tend to not recognize when I tap it sometimes (my fingers have pretty thick calluses).
What do you guys think of semi-dumbphones like the Nokia E63/E72?
I'm basically looking for something cheap with WiFi (email/light browsing), qwerty keyboard and music.
i just want something that doesnt fuck up when it gets dropped or wet or covered in leg sweat.
>>46923920
Or what about an old Blackberry like the 9700?
>>46923759
You see those fools at places restaurants/cafes/stores where there is wifi
they fucking are in there when they don't want to 'use data' all day because they don't do shit, I hate it

>>46923571
This doesn't count does it? If it does, then I do.
I still use the Sony Ericsson C901. Dropped it a bunch of times, but never in water.
Then again, my work phone is a Windows Phone, so I'm covered in both ends.
>>46923928
I want that to be my phone because it looks so fucking stupid
>>46923963
exactly
fuck this phone culture.
thats why i liked my razr, it looked like dated gold shit.
A phone is only as smart or dumb as its user
:^)

>not making your own phone
>>46924052
I wish I knew how. Then I'd make a RAZR have more memory for music and videos on that tiny-ass screen.
>>46923888
Eyyy! Got one in storage.
>>46923857
>>46923857
What phone? I will never be dedicated to dumbphones, but a backup with micro sim and music would be cool

Really nice. I just wonder, why nobony makes his own smartphone. Cheap device with decent specs, solder a bigger battery to it,and make a case.Of course this would make only sense, if you have a phone, with non removable battery. Samsung owners can just get a bigger bat. and extended backcover.
>>46924000
honestly why do people need the latest and greatest phones
why do they need to have updated hardware? they just call people and look at basic shit on the internet
I have a piece of shit smartphone from like 3 years ago that still does its job
>>46924159
Samsung Manhattan. The only bad thing about it is no flash (or flashlight) - which would be quite useful.

I have been using it since 2011 or so.
>>46924235

>not using a phone from 2005
Seriously, how do all you fuckers afford all these expensive as fuck phones with their expensive as fuck plans? I just can't bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars on the latest phone while paying the absurd amount per month to use it.
I've got a iphone-clone smartphone like everyone else, but I wish they still offered high end clamshell designs. I'd love a well made clamshell smartphone
I love Nokia's old camera flip phone design in particular
when i was in tokyo, they all had bejazzled clamshell phones to go with their tablets
>>46924326

I am glad that more and more people start to realize this. Also have an old phone, from 2011. Runs the basic shit perfectly fine. Flagship phones are just useless. Games can be played with an emulator on the PC.
Yes, op.
I don't even take it with me half the time when I go out. I don't like using mobile devices to begin with.
>>46924294
This option is not always a convinient or saves money. Depends on the cheapest price, you can get for calls and sms. Here in germany, the cheapest internet costs me 3,99€ a month. Now you need a cheap smartphone for whatsapp or voip. It is cheaper than paying prepaid for each call and writing sms. At least i write a lot of messages, so sms costs would be high.

It looks like Firefox OS wants to take this market with smartphones with actual buttons and keyboards.

Even today they still look nice
what is the most advanced clamshell phone ever made?
I'd really like to see more designed like this >>46924295
You could fit a seriously nice optical zoom in there
Got sick of heap of shit smartphones breaking constantly.
Now i use $15-25 phones that have a 3 day battery life, charge in 20 minutes and are almost impossible to break.
Fuck smartphones. Bunch of pointless bullshit, if i want to do something i tether my nexus 7.
I'm using this
>>46923571
My family forced me to get one. I don't use it much so I usually have it disassembled.
>>46924407
I would get one of these for the sole purpose of sticking straps and keychains on it
>>46923888
I would still buy one of these if it would use microsd cards and not memorystick or something
>>46924906
been thinking the same thing
all I do with my iphone these days is dick around in settings and cydia for asinine shit. Oh and flashlight. listening to music gets boring fast and the internet is fucking retarded these days.
I'd rather pay for coffee at Starbucks for the wifi, than shell out for data

youre pretty stupid if your dumb ass doesnt realize that items age with use and when a battery cover is held on with electric tape and the plastic gold bezel is now mottled off-white plastic, it does as i described, look like a piece of shit.
What's the cheapest website/store to get new, unlocked GSM flip phones? Amazon seems kinda pricey, unless ~$50 is the typical going rate these days.
>>46925035

I used to have a Galaxy Centura with Straight Talk and it was durable as FUCK with the rubber case on. It was only $30 so I didnt really care if I lost it or broke it, and it worked great as just a phone, but was slow as hell as a smartphone. I rooted it and added wifi tethering so I could use my wifi ipad online; if I actually wanted a nice mobile internet experience I would just bring that along with me.
>>46924295
slap the sensor from one of those lumina's in there with some basic optical lens stuff and hipsters would be all over it
There's really no need for dumbphone anymore.
I got this little thing for free. It's LG L40/D160, new I guess it costs next to nothing.
It's perfectly usable phone that can do everything my Z3C can, some things load little longer but functionality is the same.
Not to mention how fucking awesome is to have small phone that you can put in pocket and don't even know it's there.

>mfw all these people with semi-smart phones thinking they have dumbphones
I've had this for three years. Battery still lasts ~4 days and it's gotten soaked through countless times. I've never really felt inconvenienced by not having a smartphone. It's also an easy excuse to not respond to work related emails at any time of day.
I wonder if smartphone ownership will someday become a absolute requirement for employment at many places? I can see it happening in 10 years.

>>46925312
I'd heard of that. I work at a museum and we are establishing some IM system between showrunners and front desk workers in case the two need to communicate in the middle of the show. It's going to work through smartphones though. Obviously a smalltime museum like this isn't able to provide us all with smartphones. Just makes me think that someday this will become mandatory on all application sheets, even lower level jobs.
>>46924237
I have that one too! The thing is a fucking tank, I use it to go out to sea and it also took a dive some years ago. Still working...

You guys seem more suited to this question than those in a smartphone/stupid question thread, so here.
I'm working on a phone with a qwerty keyboard and am trying to work out what switches I should use before I get to designing a PCB.
I've added a few common ones I've seen used, I'm pretty set on the one in the top left corner of pic related, quite a few devices I like use this sort, it's got a nice tactile feel and it's obvious if it's been actuated, kinda like a bucking spring. I hate muddy devices to hell and back.
Quite a few I see are like the phones in the top left, a metal membrane in a sheet of plastic, but these seem near impossible to fabricate unlike a plain PCB with some SMD stuff.
tl;dr Basically I just wanna know devices you think have good keys/keyboards. Phones, consoles, even fucking calculators.

I have a smartphone, but I don't especially need it. I just have one for music playback and the occasional browsing on wifi.
I wish I picked up one of these when they were easily available. Always so cool sounding, strange that e-ink screen never caught on.
>>46926066

>Being forced to use SMS
It's like you only communicate with your mom
A good brand new dumb flipphone costs about $50, and you can get a smartphone that does everything for $50 used or new, it's really down to preference.
Both my parents use a dumbphone I've gifted them along with a PAYG sims, they so seldom use their phones, and they still bitch and moan about their dumbphone dying after a week off the charger, they lose them in the couch, drop them five times a day, and in general are just retarded people so a smartphone is impossible.
In my case, I use a smartphone because I'll actually use the other functions, but I also use a PAYG SIM and use less than 100mb of data per month, I only toggle data on when I need it and use wifi everywhere else. I still get to have a smartphone but pay a dumbphone rate of $15/mo.

>>46926256
The line between dumbphone, feature phone, and smartphone is getting blurry anyway. The current race in smartphone sales isn't even for flagships, it's for making affordable cheapos for developing markets and the third world. Even in the richest parts of the west, the majority of smartphone sales aren't for top-of-the-line stuff.

Yes this works, it will be slow but usable. Also, 8 GB MSmicro work if you have the unbranded edition, otherwise you should flash it.Didnt try 16, but they could work.
If you dont like the 800s design try a 770, its flatter but the same phone hardware. 770 has a LED instead of the flash.

Yes I still have dumbphone and will probably keep it until it breaks.

I've been using a Nokia from 2007 that's technically a smartphone due to all the Internet features it has but not quite as useful or powerful as what people actually consider smartphones.
I recently got a second hand Android phone as a gift but I haven't been using it yet. There's just so much making me reluctant. Like the fact I need a Google account to make good use of it. Or that I need to fuck with 3rd party files and programs just to get root on it and update it beyond Android 4.2.1. And I don't have a data plan that includes Internet either nor do I plan to spend money on that.
>>46927063

Dumb as fuck.
A phone needs:
A number pad, a call button, a back button and a contacts function. That's it. Oh, and a sim card slot.
I'm actually surprised that there isn't a dumbphone integrated into a sort of headphone yet. Like a bluetooth garniture that has the phone on it.
Anyway, what I like about the x2 is that it doesn't actually sound bad with my headphones, being from the line that positioned itself as a music player and all. So when my Sansa Clip+ runs out of charge (often), I just put the sdcard into it and carry on. So an XpressMusic phone might be a good idea.
Another thing I've been considering is getting an old people phone like pic rel.
>>46927367

>I've never even HAD a smartphone.
Doesn't mean you can't handle store demos/a friends'
I was just trying to make the point, that the X2-01 is light as a feather by today's standards.
>Anyway, what I like about the x2 is that it doesn't actually sound bad with my headphones, being from the line that positioned itself as a music player and all
You know, the X1-00 (not X1-01) has audiophiles gushing for it's sound quality. I think the X4 (the square one IIRC) carries that tradition. I wasn't impressed by the X2-01's sound quality to be honest, it was loud though.
Try an E63/E72 on for size. Also Express Music 5310 if you want physical, dedicated media buttons.
Anyway, what's your favorite dumbphone game?
Mine's SolaRola.
Whats the best $20 dumbphone?

I worked in a cold weather shelter in December and it seemed like almost all the homeless people had smartphones; a lot of them had flagship models or sometimes even 2 smartphones or a smartphone and a dumbphone. A very small minority had dumbphones and about 20% had no phone at all
This is in central Maryland BTW
>FUCK I'm tired
So, since GSM is spyware and smartphones are even more spyware, when can we expect the emergence of an open source, peer to peer, encrypted handheld communication device?

They can cover the costs in a 4 days :^)
>>46927603
Whatever kind of help you're suggesting I can assure you I am already getting
I think you might need a little help yourself
>>46927188
€25 for 4GB, unlimited texting and 250 minutes. Z3C's included in the price.
>>46927468
I've only ever heard of AT&T doing this, and since about a year ago all of their plans include a tiny bit of data by default so that's no longer the case.
But what dumb phone is the goty!!??
505 looks good no question, but I need something smaller
>>46927757
Republic Wireless, Ting and Consumer cellular have plans that allow you to have a smartphone without mobile data.

>Panhandling must make more than I thought.
dude, panhandling makes a lot of money.
Gypsies in Europe drive Porsches and live in giant mansions and it's all from money made from panhandling and petty theft.

it's close, a lot more elegant and I wouldn't call a symbian phone a smarphone today. I'd call it a relativelyhighintelligencephone. this is more than enough if you want something simple but still looks good.
maybe it's only me. as an artist, design matters a lot. it just looks so good.
>>46926090
I had it, it was shit, don't bother.
Battery life was the only good thing about that phone.
>>46927805
not trolling but I'm an art graduate myself
the old N series phones are chunky and ugly and I always thought so
the only guy I know who thinks they're nice is some indian faggot who obsesses over his "german ancestry"
>tl;dr n95 is ugly, only indians like them
i've wanted this
>>46927863
they are indeed chunky to that time's standard, I wouldn't call it that chunky today when there's phablets on the market. I think it's part of it's design so we may differ on that side.
>not indian btw

>tfw had worms for dumbphone
>was literally 2 worms per team and nothing but bazookas and grenades
>a team of people made this game
>they probably don't even remember making it
those obscure things i know about feels
also did anyone actually have pic related? (oblivion for dumbphone)
really hoping these come to NA. hopefully below $50 and i'll pick one up on the spot. Currently moto g but i don't need all the bullshit
>>46928096
I had on my dad's first dumphone with color display. It was some kind of Ericson.
So many fucking java games on those dumbphones.
I also distinctly remember a 3D worms game. No terrain damage though.
>>46928230
the one i had was a 2D one with terrain damage. functional carbon copy of regular worms but hugely scaled down
Why is nobody mentioning these? They seem pretty cool, has anyone here tried 15 dollar chinkphones?
>>46923912
Yes, and he was a cowboy or hillbilly
>>46927392
Why to people continue to not realize that phones are no longer phones and portable computers? Why do you hang onto this archaic concept of a phone strictly being for phone calls?
I bet you still pay for a land line too.
I pop my SIM into one whenever I go to the beach, which is usually a weekly affair during the warm season. I have all the problems with sand that Anakin mentioned and theft is always a bit of a concern. That same phone stays in my car during the rest of the year in case my primary phone dies and I need a quick call to emergency services.
>>46923800
Serious?
I have 3GB at less than $7
>>46923888
I had one, it was the same time I started getting into music since you could send mp3 files over bluetooth from another phone meaning I got a shit ton of music from my friends over break and lunch time. Opening up the bluetooth list on a lunch time got you 50 other people doing the same shit.
I had pic related to replace it and it was pretty good.

They prepare their stand inside a WiFi hot spot area as well as they don't need walk to make money they don't need mobile plan too
>>46923928
And the battery survive for a month
>>46929266
at least they're jacking off to their smartphones rather than doing it on the computers in public libraries
