Not sure I understand the article...

It runs on 4g connectivity and you can view your emails based on the image shown

So how does this not have internet access to distract you?

Or is it that it just doesn't have a browser??

    HMD sends a message to us with this that they on their own know they are boring so they even name there phone as boring

      Well... It isn't for HMD to sell anyway. Probably for Heinekken's promo project since it is a giveaway.

        Missed opportunity to mock Carl and call it Something Phone.

          As useful as a chocolate teapot

              Snart move for people in China that do not want to be tracked

                limited to just 5000? I don't care, give us a phone with SoC SD 7+ series and Dimensity 8000 series for $300.

                  Do they expect this to be a success?

                  For all I know it might be, but it's unlikely.

                        I said it before, they will re-produce Nokia phones under HMD name after killing the old name, there you go.

                          Yeah, definitely fair to call it boring

                            This is the other partnership they teased alongside the Barbie one??

                              You guys need to read the article properly, you can only get these through giveaways.. It's a great marketing idea IMO

                                At least it supports VoLTE, in my country all carriers except one turned off 2G and 3G few years ago.

                                And the last one supporting 2G (they turned off 3G already) is turning it off in less than 6 months from now.

                                      It doesn't actually look boring at all. I think it looks modern and sophisticated.

                                        This phone would have counted a fortune a decade and a half ago
