what phone do you use? why did you switch to dumbphones?

-Request:
my phone died lately and I'd like to disconnect a bit but sadly I need whatsapp for communicating with my friends and family abroad, so I'm searching for a modern semi-dumbphone that can handle whatsapp and music..there is any reccomendation on it?

what's the point?

Nokia 515. I'm a NEET with no social obligations.

Where does one buy cheap nokia dumb phones? Most of the dumb nokia's around are still $100. Is there seriously no sub $50 phone? Australia, if that changes anything.

>I'm a drug dealer and need something that's hard to locate, but also needs to be cheep and can handel messaging apps.

Fixed it for you. Now we know what you need this for I'm sure one of us can help you.
No need for shame here. As long as you conduct business in an ethical manner.
And don't deal to addicts they cause problems and rat you in. Hence ethically deal.

I have little use for smartphones. My use cases would be to browse the internet while on the move and use google maps, but I'm too cheap to pay the 20 or so euros per month required.
>>
I would love a dumbphone, but I rely on gps too much, i'd be a lost lamb without it.

Are you in the US?

Lumia 435/520/635/640

If you look you will find them for less than $50,

They are the perfect dumbphone.

If you insist on having to have a featureless true dumbphone, you will pay more than the $50 and you pretty much will have to go with Nokia and none of the new ones work in the US.

Get a Galaxy S3, root it and install Cyanogenmod. It's not a dumbphone, but they can be obtained cheaply, and they're still more powerful than a lot of budget smartphones out there.

I'm using Samsung GT B2710.
Chosen it mostly due to great battery life and resistance (which came in handy, if I'd chosen a smartphone instead, I'd be on my 4th one or so by now).
I'll be switching in the next 2 years or so, and currently I'm looking at Sonim XP3300 (for similar reasons), complimented by a small LTE tablet.

that's not a feature phone

Yeah.. They are. I guarantee you they're not smartphones.

I don't get why people want dumbphones to "disconnect" just fucking stop using social media and apps and turn off your gps. there you're disconnected
>>
>>53429665

They need to justify themselves saying they want to "disconnect from the world" when the truth is that they have no one to talk since they're all forever alone NEETS.

I personally couldn't live without my smartphone.
>>
>>53429580
I really miss that phone...

The red is prettier
>>
>>53429658

Why don't you go check the prices of feature phones and then come back. You can get android smartphones for less.
>>
>>53429776
I'm with you anon. Had the red as well.
>>
>>53429665
Kek, that's beyond naive.

But dumbphones track you too so there's no benefit tinfoil wise.
>>
>>53429665

Because they have no willpower and will succumb to the social network cancer if they have the chance.

Fuck off. They're smaller, cheaper, they waste less battery, they don't waste my time by crashing, updating or showing me more useless apps.
>>
>>53429922

Then why aren't there new models in the last three years?

I prefer dumbphones to, but face it, they're dead. WP is the current dumbphone, and they are smaller, cheap and with a long battery, theres literally no apps in them other than system.

Pic related.
Use two phones.
Dumbphone (pic related) for calls and texts. Battery lasts a week. Buttons make it easy to type while not looking.
Android for muh shitposting on a go (read toilet).

Look at this retard.

That's like saying don't sell Apple products to macfags and homosexuals (I know, redundant). Who the fuck else would buy it?

OP is selling weed not crack.

I would buy a samsung s7 and trade it in for a brand new k550i sony ericsson if I could. The only thing I'd miss is the ease of browsing the internet.
