If you're piss poor, You can do all that with an Android on Wifi

If it supports wifi and 3g I might still buy it.
Qwerty keyboards are imho better than touchscreens.

only insecure people need status symbols
>Android
you can, but you need to install cyanogen mod and block all apps except whatsapp on mobile data, background services will use your mobile data otherwise.

>Android

Just upgraded my 2012 android phone with 1gb RAM from 4.4.4 to 5.1 and performance increased significantly

I have iPad air as my multimedia device
And I use my phone only to check/reply email , light browsing and whatsapp my friend and colleague.

>That fucker Nokia shamebian is worse lagging than any android device
depends what you want to do
watch youtube, play 3d games, .. yes
for using the phone, writing sms, set the alarm it is faster
>>
>>47575876
What's the SIM card about? Are they giving people free data to use their app?
>>
>>47576363
>Are they giving people free data to use their app?
yes
>>
>>47576375
Really? Does it only work with whatsapp or can I use it with iMessage. Anywhere I can read more about this?
>>
>>47576383
>use it with iMessage
no
only whatsapp
google whatsapp sim
>>
>>47576361
Nope.. If you compare it with 3310 yes I agree but with Nokia shamebian is a big NO.. That S40 device is slow than my original droid
>>
>>47576396
I see. You whatapp is free and the rest run you around $10. I could use this. I never talk on my phone unless it's face time.
>>
>>47576411
>S40 speed
as soon as i release the button to open the alarm, the app is opened. also i just type in 0925 an hit okay and then go to sleep.

it cannot be faster than that.
>>
>>47575924
>>47575952

that shit is running S40. seriously you don't want to use that voluntarily. out of curiosity i used a nokia asha 302 for few weeks... god that thing sucked. weird logic everywhere in the whole OS: eg. even enabling/disabling the wifi is a weird procedure. also many programs like the email client are ugly java applets that crash frequently and absolutely don't match the looks of the rest of the OS. it's like nokia assambled a lot of junk they found all over the company in order to release the phone as cheap as somehow possible...
>>
>>47576466
My phone also can do like that..

I can confirm ur experience using android is only with low end android and android 2.x
>>
>>47576544
Motorola Milestone of my friend was a pretty decent android device at that time and it was the main /g/ recommended device.
It got buggy, the camera didn't work any more and the app only opened very slowly. My friend threw it away.

HTC Legend of my sister: I can remember it was very fluid at the beginning. After 2 years it got a lot of crashes and graphic bugs. It also felt very slow and old. The battery was still good when it decided to not start any more.

iPhone 4: I can remember it was buttery smooth at the beginning at the Apple Store. The launcher scrolled much smoother than all android devices at that time. Also the drag and drop lag was far better. Now I see the people with an iPhone 4 constantly complaining. It became almost unusable slow and laggy.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini of my sister: She was very happy with her phone, it felt like her HTC Legend when it was new. Fluid. Working fine in every aspect and having more gimmicks like face unlock and S Voice. After almost 2 years it starts to get warm and drain the battery in 3 hours a few times now. Also it sometimes randomly vibrates until you hit the power button.


So maybe you just do not know shit about phones.
>>
>>47576738
Oh god!! none of the phone ur mention is flagship device. And iPhone 4 become laggy because of iOS 7 is optimise for iPhone 5 and above.

I have 3 years old nexus 4 lying around is fast as the day it arrive.
>>
>>47576738
Actually, this is almost all old androids.

Half of these or more probably also would have been solved with reinstalling the ROM as a "last resort".
>>
>>47576803
yes haha
that's exactly the thing I am saying
old androids get super slow so you buy a new one

here a video of a 5 year old android

I've got a questions for you guys.

What would be the best non-smartphone with the following features :
- Long battery life (~5 days is good)
- Good usability
- microSD card slot
- Good output sound with 3.5

That is really all I ask for.
>>
>>47575876
Still have that phone, but I lost the charger and the charging port was very hard to actually get it working. I miss it, to be honest. If it had 3G, for me it'd be the perfect phone.

Standby time with just phone services enabled? Or talk time? Or something else?
>>
>>47577023
Ok, looks pretty good to me actually.
I'm worried about the sound quality though.

>>47577079

Froyo was like 4 years ago, and Android didn't pull itself together until ICS.
>>
>>47577144
Normal to little use with phone services enabled.
>>
>>47577144
5 days battery life of using it for phoning, writing sms and whatsapp and having internet activated on the day and airplane mode activated at night.

gingerbread ran like absolute ass

ICS is where the UI actually became smooth because it was accelerated by the GPU
>>
>>47577381
all the gingerbread phones ran fine when they were new. android is designed to become slow.
the c3 has 64MB of ram 208 mhz and is still as fast as 5 years ago.

This is what happens when you need 1080p and higher for a phone resolution severe increase in performance drop
>>
>>47575876
Used pic related for ages before buckling and buying a Moto G. It was actually pretty good, and I only paid a tenner for it.
>>
>>47577452
If that thing become 10% slower it become unusable..
