    if the price is right. HMD often over prices its phones.

      >It’s certainly possible that digital media brought out ADHD symptoms in teens that hadn’t previously been diagnosed — or that the genetic or environmental factors (including parenting) that lead to high-frequency digital media use are some of the same ones that lead to ADHD. It’s also true that the effect was small, and that having symptoms of ADHD doesn’t mean one has ADHD.

        AMAZING PHONE! I have the 2660 in green. I love it. If it was smaller, it would have been perfect! Perfect size and shape is the old Samsung X300, E700, etc. Old Nokia 2660, 6133, 6267, etc. MUCH SMALLER!
        And Waterproof would be good.

          it has the snake game!!!!!

            I think this is capitalizing on the Be Bored movement. It's a group of people who view Smartphone tech as the main cause of widespread ADHD, and most of them fight back against this by either getting dumb phones or dumbing down their smartphones. (Applying a monochrome theme all the time, deleting all social apps, limiting the phone to its home screen only, and the absolute necessity of apps like email, What's App, a book reader, and maps). I've been doing this for a few months on my OnePlus 7 Pro, and it's been great tbh.

                These types of devices abound in late-night infomercials. They are usually aimed at people over 90 years old. These devices cost around $100 and have additional functions such as a built-in flashlight or an alarm that serves as a warning method in case the elderly is attacked by criminals.

                          Wow.. I want to get one already....

                            We thought Nothing Phone was a ridiculous name for a phone. HMD has taken it to another level.
