These nokias were pretty cool back in the day, saw these "communicator" and other models with full keyboard a lot, they were quite common with business users as naturally everyone in Finland pretty much had a Nokia phone till iShit and Android came

I think the GPD Win is the closest we'll ever have, desu. Too niche, especially since ARM and Qualcomm are trying to get phone processors to do normie x86 stuff now.

You could have just said "a smartphone".

>>61156870

>>61158265
Then I would assume that every smartphone has support for USB-OTG or usb hosting capabilities which is not true.

>>61158324
Every smartphone since 2012 or something. You'd have to be genuinely retarded to own something older.

>>61158342

Measure how much time are you spending by looking at the screen. Then measure how much time are you spending on typing. Then realize that hardware keyboards ARE useless, that space should rather be used for a bigger screen and battery, plus removing the hinge automatically increases the durability.

You can't use the fucking thing at all in most places, because 3G/4G networks aren't backwards compatible. The new 3310 was dead the second they made the decision not to include at least 3G capability.

To be fair, all of Nokia's feature phone efforts in recent years have been in Asia, Africa, and Europe where 2G is not in danger of shutting down soon. I've read dozens of press releases parading the next Nokia feature phone, and always disappointed by the "not available for North America". 2G may be on the way out here, but if you really want a feature phone you can find "old" Nokia models from 2011-2012 - with 3G - on CL for cheap.

I just need to make calls, text and whatsapp.
For other media, I have my iPad.

>>61166843
You are missing the point. It was actually made for that "nostalgia". Buy a Nokia 6 or something android they have if you need 3G or 4G.

>>61167802
It is really sturdy. Dad used one brand new, all the way from 2008 to last year until the phone had a frontal screen glitch which made it difficult to read what's behind.

>>61167848
Fuck off retard it was literally useless in many countries and carriers because it didn't have 3g

It's not a matter of "Nostalgia" it's a matter of "My phone can't fucking make calls"

>>61167848
No, you're missing the point.
Without a 2G network, you cannot so much as make a fucking emergency call on that phone. I'm not saying they should have included 3G or 4G for muh data or smartphone features. They should have included it for the phone to be functional in the first place as more than a paperweight.
Unless you happen to live in an area that still has 2G coverage, and happen to use one of the very few providers left that haven't dropped 2G completely, you literally cannot use it as a phone. No calls, no texts, it will do nothing.

desu what's the point of having cool tech these days when every piece of software sucks?

I mean unless it's some ARM/x86 shit that can run full-fledged Linux and give you freedom, you're stuck with Android or worse, and shit is just not functional. I miss the good old lightning fast OSes of the past, like the series 40/60 on Nokia, or Palm OS. Now everything is heavy and bloated, requires a touch screen to be used, and if you want to stick to some obscure OS, it isn't up to the task of modern tech unless you want to be stuck with 140 byte SMS and a shitty IRC client.

Why must normies ruin everything?

>>61168031
I know what you mean. It's astounding how awful your modern OS choices are. I got an old thinkpad recently and just in switching it from W10 back to W7, the change in user experience was night and day.
Only made me wonder how it would've felt if I could put on an OS that was good, rather than being less bad.

Linux isn't an option because I need Windows for work stuff, before you ask.

Do you really argue that T420 has vertical usb ports?
