Diese Woche ein Highlight. Seine älteste Tochter hat ihr halben Leben ein smartphone, 13 von 26 Jahren, und muss bereits detoxen von diesem verrückten Gerät, welches uns oft jede Ruhephase beraubt. Dazu im selben Magazin Tipps von einem 85-jährigen über die Kraft und Inspiration von Ruhe.

Ich lese gerade über den Trend zum #Dumbphone unter Jugendlichen. Eigentlich ein guter Trend. Aber: es ist wieder mit #Konsum verbunden (Dumbphone kaufen). Habe es gerade mal ausprobiert: einfach mobile Daten und WLAN ausschalten, und schon hast Du aus Deinem #Smartphone ein Dumbphone gemacht. Noch billiger als ein stylisches Retro-Nokia-Handy 😉

Vielleicht hat das Fediverse ja einen Tipp. Ich suche ein Feature Phone für 72 Jahre alte Mutter. Kein Smartphone damit kommt Sie nicht klar. Bisher hatte Sie ein Samsung B2100 das ist aber schon über 10 Jahre alt, das Display ist auch zu klein. Hat einer nen Tipp zu einem günstigen, robusten Feature Phone für Senioren. Gerne mit bisschen größeren Display. Auf den Verkaufsplattformen findet mal viele Chinakracher die mich nicht überzeugen. Bitte boosten

I've been using the revamped Nokia 3210 4g feature phone for the last couple of weeks and while I love not having the urge to go online all the time... this is yet another bad "not smartphone": The .vcf import is extremely limited, the UI is just all over the place (I cannot unlock it without going into the "quick launch" menu, forcing me to press the dismiss button after unlocking, always...), the texting screen (while conversational, big plus) has very limited space for the actual text in between the large UI elements, etc, etc.

I've now tried the Punkt MP01, the Light Phone 2 and the Nokia 3210 and all of them are just... bad, very unpolished.

I'm designing an alternative in my head as I try all of these. I think it's important for the device to not feel like a modern phone or even modern piece of tech. It should be a single purpose tool, shaped like a distinct artefact. My current design has no screen, it's just a metal slab with buttons and faint LEDs in a couple of places. You call or use it as a flash light when out and about, potentially a few more features such as listening to music/podcasts. For texting/contacts/file management, there is a desktop companion application that auto-connects to the phone whenever on the same wifi. This way, the non-time-critical things are not even present on the device, and gets the best possible UI. Texting is really a tough one to leave out, but I like how it makes it possible to remove the screen and go even more minimal. Thoughts?
