You know, gimme something like an #Iridium9555¹ or #Iridium9575² aka. #IridiumExtreme / #IridiumExtremePTT³ / #Iridium9575PTT⁴...

• Some #chonky brick that has a runtime measured in days and standby time measured in months...

Like a good old #Nokia3310 #chonker

Or is it too much to ask to get a #smol #smartphone that has:

• 3,5mm TRRS jack (CTIA prefered, but NATO standard is also okay!)
• #microSD slot (cuz convenient - ideally the internal storage was also on a microSD and fully replaceable. I don't expect socketed RAM tho.
• real #DualSIM ( #eSIM is not a valid substitute for a 2nd #SIM slot! If an OEM want they can just include 1-2 #eSIMcard|s thst are progammable with #nLPA / #MiniLPA in addition to two fully-functional SIM slots…)
• #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries (ideally just industry-standard cells like 18650 or 21700 #LiFePO4 - potentially even 2 for #HotSwapping!)

Yes I know it'll look like an #Iridium 9555 or #IridiumExtreme (PTT), but I care about #functionality and #Repairability ...

@Jessica +9001%

I want a #repairable, #affordable and #compact / #grippable device I can actually use for more than 15mins off the wall.

• IDGAF if it's a 500g brick of #Nokianiet and has the same dimensions as the #IridiumExtreme if it is as durable, has #DualSIM, all day & toolfree swappable batteries and just works with excellent reception!

Amd if modern phones cost the same if not more, I might just buy one just to make #robocalling more expensive...
