I have used three of these kinds of phones from HMD. They are not great.
While "smartphone detox" is a thing, it still needs to be AT LEAST be able to browse the web whenwver necessary. Granted, their phones with this OS (I think it was S30) can do it, but it is very much limited to what an Opera Mobile browser can offer. I cannot even open e2e messages on my fb account.
It also has no hotspot connectivity, camera also sucks, and most importantly, the build quality feels so...cheap. I know; they are cheap alright. But for a keypad phone that is priced at like $50-$80? You already get my point.
I might be antithethical to the smartphone detox thing since I am clearly requesting for "a smarter dumbphone", but this also comes with games which MUST BE BOUGHT TO PLAY, no installable apps (or java games in general), phone feels sluggish, screen quality is TOO BAD (color reproduction sucks), and also uses micro usb (good thing they are releasing usb-c phones rn).
I should say just go for a KaiOS phone from HMD if you need a "dumbphone". But that is around $100 at my country, which is very close to capable smartphones already (even 5G ones). They just made this too niche of a product rather than an alternative to the norm.

Anonymous, 08 Aug 2024I'm so sad for you that you have to waste your preciou... moreBro i have enough of them for luife for one individual.
For those who we are the most precious thing in world we always will be like star like Nobel Award or Olympic Medal the most precious person in life.
If you will be kind and friendly enough you will find more friends and family like friends in life than any other and all your memories, your life, your time spent on earth will be carried on in hearts, thoughts and memories of those people.
I became that person long time ago and continue to be even better.
But thats a long story.
One advice from me: More friends we have. More human we are.

Barbie or Ken is a big thing nowdays and being a part of this thing by owning a piece with a barbie moniker on it would make one tiny little princess feel like a real barbie or star.
This will sell like cakes from MC Donals on a half price discounts. Or a full large menu for just 2 euros.

This device is only for adults with autism. Give it to a child and they will hate it. Children only want iPhones, Legos, video games, etc.

4. And the Ultimate Thanos Phone with antennas sticking out & disguise as Infinity gauntlet arms that can also brush that legendary groovy chin in free time.

"Based on the abovementioned specs, the HMD Barbie Phone looks to be a rebrand of the Nokia 2660 Flip."
The Nokia 2660 Flip used MicroUSB, this seemingly uses USB-C.

People Expected Barbie Phone as 5G & Touchscreen & Flippable. This version should have named classic. Suddenly, it's not good for HMD as Nothing Phone 2a Community Edition is coming with Radium Lightening Coil Paper on Back.
