I started joking that my next phone will be a Nokia 3310. I feel more and more each day like that should just be my actual next phone
Funny enough, Nokia started making cheap flip phones and some others in that form factor again. My daughter asked to replace her smartphone with one of the flip phones. It was only $70, so I got her one. It's build quality is what you would expect, but it works and has GPS at least.
They even actually re-released a version of the 3310 a few years back. I still have my old Garmin knocking about, wonder if it's got updated maps if I got a model without GPS.
In case you're curious, the Nokia flip phone I got my daughter is the Nokia 2780 Flip.
It even runs WhatsApp and Signal now, or at least, that was the plan a while back. And it's only like 60 euros or something. Perfect for multiple day festivals and camping trips at least.
Which model is that exactly? I'd love a "dumb" phone with Signal.
I'm confused. I read an article about the new 3310 getting the ability to install apps, a long time ago. I found an article on how to do so, but it doesn't look like the 3310 screen in the screenshots but a general android OS. I thought it had a simplified OS, either their own or a stripped down android (unsure) as it has a tiny screen.
It's the Nokia 3310 4G model according to this article. But it might be a generic article in which they have the phone model automatically generated by the one you search for?
It no longer runs WhatsApp, actually. The new version of the OS (KaiOS which is a fork of the dead Firefox OS) broke compatibility and Meta apparently decided to not bother with supporting it.
There's more and more people who feel just like you do. I'm so exhausted of all these companies being predatory and anti consumer. I'm the type to stand my ground and abstain or find alternatives, but it feels like there's 5 people who don't care and 4 people who will just let it go for every person willing to boycott bullshit.
Yes there are dozens of people who care. The vast majority of people never sideload.
I'm making a statement about companies in general. People are just so willing to bend over and take it. In my mind people used to have more gumption, but I'm probably overestimating how much was individuals vs how the media portrayed things.
Feels like if Upton Sinclair released "the jungle" today we'd all collectively say "oh well, guess we're eating rats and formaldehyde."
