Fuck smartphones

I wouldn't mind a flip phone if it supported YouTube, Spotify & a full fledged HTML5 browser.

Are there any dumbphones that even exist anymore? I wouldn't mind downgrading I don't use any of the features of my smartphone at all. I just use it to text and call thats it.

i can easily see that in a few years "retro" phones will be in fashion and every hipster faggot in the world will use one

>>56331702
Why won't the fucking chinks sell it here? Fuck you slit-eyed niggers. Stop giving us your touchscreen bullshit.

>>56331637
See you next week

Good on you, then, but not my cup of tea. I do the following from my smartphone, which would not be possible on a dumbphone
Video chat
Work(seriously, entire workload)
Write
Record and mix music
Stream PC games
Tether super fast LTE to my laptop to work on the go
Get emails instantly, respond immediately. The world moves fast with or without me, senpai.
And of course, browse the web in desktop mode because fuck mobile pages.

No, it's the best. Period. Better than Android, better than iOS, better than WP, better than those fringe operating systems like Sailfish.

I just want a smart phone that runs on BSD as its base. I want it so bad.

>no apps
It's pretty much a dumb phone except in the awesome battery life.

HTML5 browser (no adblock without proxying), hotspot, sd card support, nfc card support, superior call quality, etc. are all bonuses that would have me picking up a spare battery and continuing to use it.
The freedom of the dumb phone is essentially being botnet free and distraction free, which you get with stock BB10.

To add:

>Following the decision of NIST to deprecate usage of SMS in two-factor authentication, this vulnerability disclosure confirms the pertinence of the unique design of Neo900 that, among other features, isolates the baseband chip (modem), making it dependent on the CPU (and the OS) to access anything else on the system, and preventing remote activation of the chip in the first place.

It's the only phone I know that does this.

>>56332647
But is its camera better than the Iphone 6's?

>>56332696

An iPhone 4S's camera is better than the 6S.

Blackberry phones are super expensive though.

>>56332716
are you memeing me?

Speak for yourself OP, I like my Moto G3. I'll upgrade when I have enough for a OP3 (to use for the next five years), but for now this phone is pretty comfy.

>>56332732
I got my Q10 brand new for $160 over a year ago. Hell even the failed abortion flagship known as the Priv can be had for ~$350

>>56332747

Take a look at this comparison:

Apart from the contrast difference which can be sorted, is this better than a 5 year old phone?

It's been 3 years already. If it's a "Free" product and the guys making it are based in the UK, you know for sure you're going to be scammed and lied to.

Way to miss the point. The point is, a phone 5 years more advanced doesn't take a more advanced photo - just as >>56332826 said.

>>56333130
I'm missing the point? You're posting misleading pictures. You are comparing a picture of a direct light source vs a picture with a reflection of a light source.

We're comparing the 6S and 4S.

>You are the one posting false claims and trying to manipulate people to see something that's not there.

What false claim is that? The 6S is not any greater than a contrast change compared to the 4S.

Evidence:

Compared to brightness/contrast adjusted:

>>56333940
some anon got one and made a thread ages ago. He said it was alright but wasn't as snappy as you want it to be because it has less ram that we are used to with newer phones. Screen wasn't great on daylight and it was kind of big for a fliphone but overall a good size to have it in your pocket.

I'm still in love with my Nokia N95. I cant part with it, it sits on my desk at home. While I lug around this Asus Zenfone and I dont even have a internet plan for my phone, I just use WIFI at the spots I am usually at.

>>56333098
oh you poor litte retard

I'm using my old LG Cosmos (1st model) because my smartphone broke. It'd still be a good phone if it weren't for the fact that my sister fucked it up to convince our parents to buy her an iPhone.
Honestly, it's like a weight off my shoulders. Only wish I had a better camera and GPS but whatever.

The HTC 10 looks good but I'm stuck on Verizon and all the current smartphones are still flashy shit with bad battery life. I'm still looking for a better basic phone. Shame I can't use any of the old Nokia phones because GSM.
I might just look for some other early 2000's phone and use that, I want the basic display, no colored graphics or anything.

>>56331637
smartphones are good, touchscreens are shit
anyone tried blackberry priv? is it overpiced shit?

>It feels like a weight has been taken off my shoulders.
how

anyway I'd actually be relatively glad to rock a dumbphone + a tablet but there are certain apps that don't work well that way.

whatsapp, in particular. I don't even want to use that piece of shit but all my fucking friends and family members use it and nothing else, so I "have to"

having a decent camera in my pocket is nice, too, I guess.

>>56336548
its good for very particular things (the n900)

the camera is absolute horseshit and modern web stuff doesn't work well on it

but its gr8 for like, IRC and SSH

mp3 player etc are "decent"

>>56331637
Aren't the old 2g and 3g networks being decommissioned for services that only smartphones can use?

>i bought a new phone that doesn't do anything my old one couldn't
>fuck consumerism
that's not how it works

>>56338513

Op said he went back to using a feature phone, which, could be one he already had. No where does it say he bought a new feature phone.

I've thought about going back but I just can't imagine having to give up google maps over wifi, and being able to connect to wifi/3g network if in an emergency or need to look up contact info quickly

maybe if I lived in a city carrying around a backpack or messenger bag with either an x2__ or t4__ thinkpad would be proper, but in a somewhat rural suburb it would look totally out of place

>>56331637

I thought about getting a dumbphone too, but I decided to learn self control instead.

>>56331772
well unless you want to buy a used old phone, they still sell flipphones for old people. Consumer Cellular, that sort of thing, they are as kosher as it gets, but you can get one new.

Why are flipphone users so aggressive?
Are they the manlets of the phone community?

I need a phone that can:

make a phone call
send SMS
act as a hotspot
open office (doc, xls etc) and pdf files
has FM radio
has actually usable internet browser so i can shitpost effectively

I don't care if it's smartphone, dumbphone or nokia e73. I have a modern phone and I'm not using probaby 90% of it's functionality.

Sounds like you're looking for a bb10 phone, friend. Suggest the Passport, z30, or Leap if you don't need NFC. Not sure if the classic has FM.

I really miss FM radio.
