We call them kosher phones here.

You have less threat actors, resulting in less of your data leaking out, so you have more privacy. They're still nowhere near private.

some dumbphones were found to contain malware.

My mama told me to never say bad things about things, to not say them at all, so I call them

Which makes it difficult when I inevitably have to tell a police officer that a nigger stole my ... Phone.

we just call them basic phones (peruspuhelin) here

>more != absolute privacy
my retarded friend, its still a positive change

>Actual tactile buttons
>Sized for human hands instead of this garbage screen arms race, consequently it also has a neater form factor for fitting into pockets and bags
>Battery life long enough that you don't need to charge constantly and removable battery
>No meme screen, so it'll be fine if you drop it
>Has not been tailored to serve you ads
Honestly the biggest obstacle is that they're usually overpriced fad shit, infested with bad software or malware, can't run some random ARMshit or are from an era too old to still be supported by infrastructure that was deliberately removed to force obsolescence.

they are called dumbphones because the people that buy them to 'detox' from social media have no self control to the point where they would rather gimp their ability to function anywhere but isolated shithole flyoverville (they still use their old phone to post about quitting social media on social media (they never quit in the first place))

sorry anon but as a wagie in a shithole big city I need to have live maps and a browser on me. I am not buying a Garmin.

Nobody buys them to get more privacy, you shit-for-brains, they buy them to avoid distractions and just use them as a telephone and text message platform.

>>109020928
I miss Symbian OS.
So kino.

I got an old Garmin from my mom and put an SD card with a new free map and a new battery inside. I lost the link of the website with free open maps but its out there. Nowdays I mostly use paper maps or my memory to be even more independent. I have not used my GPS for 3 years or so and I don't have a smartphone since 5 years or so.
