Use a dumb phone
why?
>>109524907just get a pixel and install grapheneos anon... no need to use tech like a boomer
>>109524907Why?
Why?
>>109524958Just get a fairphone
>>109524907>not owning a modern pocket computerngmi
when they make one with a removable battery and a headphone jack I willand it needs to charge with usb c as well, god I hate old nokia's proprietary charger bullshit
>>109524952Because you won't stop using your phone unless you have one>>109524958You'll still doomscroll>>109525022Phones have never been good at audio playback.
But why?
>>109525068I don't install cancerapps like tiktok or instagramSort your own shit out before you tell others what to do
>>109525144You'll waste time somewhere if you have a smartphone instead of looking around or taking in the moment.If you've looked at it more than 2 times a day without purpose you've failed
>>109524907>a phone who can do 10% of what a smartphone canLet me also replace my keyboard with one that only writes on sundays
>>109525174A portable phone is a utility you need simply because of the power it wields and the safety it grants you. You can call in backup and essentially have access to an infinite force of police to assist as well as other services. They know your instant location when you call. It's required in this world, but you shouldn't rely on it just because you need it.
>>109525022>removable battery, headphone jack, usb cMost dumbphones nowadays tend to all have these features, including the one in OP's picrel (AGM M9).
I don't understand the luddites hate for technology. My fucking phone is amazing. I can monitor, start, and stop my 3D prints from anywhere. ssh into my server.Look up big assed Latina porn.Take photos.GPSTalk to people Buy and sell shit Do investingAnd a hundred other things If you're a Chud who gets addicted to doom scrolling, that's on you for being a weak willed, weak minded simpleton. The rest of us are going to enjoy the convenience of our tech.
>>109525156sounds like I don't need one then

>>109524907>User-friendly>T-9
>>109525277It doesn't have anything to do with willpower or the average strength of a person. Smartphones are designed to be addictive.They are inherently evil and not good for you.I would say the same for PCs but less so because you can't use them in bed, if you use a laptop it won't be comfortable.
>>109524907No reason to, I barely use my phone as is.
>>109525156why would i look at my phone if i have no reason to?
>>109525007Anon.. I-I see her butt.

>>109525781>drop phone, lose it, wet it, or even merely sit on it>1000 usd in the red.no fanks. i go through 2 phones per year on averagewhen i had a smartphone i never carried it with me which completely defeats the purpose of the device
>>109524907these things are sold on alibaba (and i mean exactly the same) for tens of dollars per unit. same keypads, screens. anyway, this runs threadx, it's an ancient real time os written using c. is interesting. so.. not quite that dumb.
>>109525393I have the mental strength not to>>109525809Are you a retard?
>>109525848no.i actually go outside sometimes.you should try it, its fun
>>109524907No. I barely use my phone. But I will continue using a normie android phone. It's just easier.
>>109524907why?
>>109526125The OP has given several reasons, respond to those instead of asking why.

>>109527417Except the explanation is luddite level or retardation.I'm sorry you're so poor and can't afford a smart device. I bet if you did a little copper diving in Ganges, you could save up enough rupees to get a used one!
>>109527447>Except the explanation is luddite level or retardation.I'm sorry your reading comprehension and critical thinking skills are stuck in elementary school.
I got a $20 bucks nokia but it's pure shit. The UI is even more obtuse than back in the day; it's like they learned absolutely nothing in 20 years. I don't even understand how it's possible.
all our problems today are because people would rather communicate through a screen instead of talk to others face-to-facethis doesnt fix that
>>109527474>just resorting to insults instead of defensible positions
>>109527841>people would rather communicate through a screen instead of talk to others face-to-faceAnd that's a good thing
>>109527872>>109527447>buzzword insult>called him poor>implied he was indian>did not address any actual explanationIsn't that exactly what you did in the post he replied to? Ironic for you to try pull that card
>>109527920Found the retard
>>109524907Great way to get socially ostracized. If you need a castrated phone with buttons in order not to rape your brain with shorts, that's on you.>>109525144this
>>109527931Okay lets assume you aren't lying. Why are you defending someone else's retarded comment? Are you dumb?
>>109525277why would you need to have the ability to do all of those hundreds of things all the time anywhere you go?that's what an office is for. i don't need to be able to "do investing" when i'm at the pool with my daughter.
>>109528299Your wife's daughter will be perfectly fine with her real dad, Captain Cuckold. No need for you to "fill in." No run along and pretend to be based somewhere else.
>>109527920Retard.
>>109527417Okay, fine, then it's a shit explanation and not convincing.
>>109527931>>109528576retards
ngl my old me from 2010 would think this was the peak phone back then.
>>109528654BS. In 2010 you were like 2 year old.
>>109524907>use a phone instead of a portable hand-computerNah. I prefer to have more power at hand.
>>109528767If it's power you want, I have a 10 inches hog you can handle and play with. I know your kind gets excited for that.
>>109528822Nigga, you watch porn because you're a sorry arse loser.
>>109528715nta but I was 13 in 2010 and I would have thought it was cool
>>109528851I have to watch porn my cock is too big for any ho. 12 inches long and as thick as a family size can of spaghetti o's. No ho can handle it.Wut do?
>>109528579The explanation was, like dumb phones, simple. Not our problem you live a life of bloat.
>>109528856we're almost 30...it's over
Why would I?
>>109524907thanks but I'll stick with my moto g5
>>109524907Is it of vintage characteristic
>>109524907Millennial here. I use my phone as a dumb smartphone - only for calls, navigation, and immediate tasks. I only browse the internet at home on my PC like a sane person. I do not use social media at all, as when Facebook and social media got big I recognized that they were norm e social status mmorpgs. Really shitty games for shitty people.Now these Normie video games have consumed the world. Welcome to hyper-normiefication.The coolest thing? The normies have designed a new vidya that's making them grow mad from self-delusion.Attention is all you need.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pco91kroVgQ
>>109524907i enjoyed playing j2me games fifty thousand times more than any of android mobile games.
>>109532199based and G5 pilled
>>109525277Just say you are enslaved by your phone. You may never know freedom from that hell ever again.
>>109532265i narrowly missed out on j2me games. i played a couple on friends' phones but i didn't own a fancy enough phone back then. only time i ever used j2me myself for any actual purpose was when i used a j2me emulator homebrew program on my psp to run the j2me version of opera mini, which was probably the best browser ever runnable on a psp
>>109524907Other than a smart phone I'm a Luddite. No social media, no smart tech, drive a mid 90s dumb car, and do most of my internet usage on my gaming desktop. Ya know like god intended. Smartphone is1. A camera2. A gps3. A notebook4. A phone5. A flashlight6. A level7. A translator8. E-reader9. Mp3 player10. Alarm clockI could go on
>>109524907dont wanna
>>109534205i'm probably not too different to you. i grew up before smartphones, but even growing up as a technology dweeb modern smartphones were always the dream. powerful computers you could do anything on at any time. and they are, as much as google wants to keep android on a tight leash, given the right conditions it's a reasonable balance between unclean masses appeal and a linux computer in your pocket.smartphones may not be the /best/ tool for a particular job, but we shouldn't use that to discount how many jobs they can do well enough. your list is just some of them and anyone trying to cut smartphones out of their life will quickly realise their absence. again even as someone who grew up well before smartphones were popular, having a small device that could do so many things /at all/ even if it was far from the best option was amazing.this all said, for people who /did/ grow up with smartphones, i would encourage them to learn about things or devices that are better options for specific purposes, since i'm sure there's people who have only used smartphones for something that may not know they're an inferior option for that thing. a common thing being photography
>>109528654>>109528856You would've thought a basic ass phone that would've already looked 5+ years out of date like this during the start of the smartphone boom was cool?
>>109535443Yeah
>>109524907Call? Who even does that? Uncs?
>>109535467Doubt.
>>109527417I asked before it was explained, retard
>>109525007>ultra poorfag trying to flexLmao
I have this same phone. It is very good. FM radio distracted me so I cut out the antenna (it is very easy to access).It's missing caller ID and tethering, though. Also my 6 key is sort of wearing out. The most annoying fucking thing is there is no way I've found to remove the lock screen.

I've been thinking of buying one of those 4"-5" phones that fit better in a pocket.The Bluefox NX1 (4" display) looks pretty cool.
>>109540149That's pretty cool, anon. I didn't know about this
