I've never tracked my daily unlocks, but 150 seems high for a "minimalist" phone. Also, 147 minutes of social media activity is such an odd number. I wonder how they came up with that.

That looks half promising to me.

The full keyboard is a MAJOR win.

The 600x800 - 4:3 - 230 PPI - 3.467"x2.583" display is a massive fail.

Looks like some sort of attention deficit Jitterbug.

$400 and minimalist don't go in the same sentence for me.

How did the SYW thread get in here? :confused:

I think there may have been a glitch with having more than one session open at a time? Seems like it pulled the Reply thread title from the wrong place, but the messages are showing correctly

Looks like a glitch from "Unknown board" - notification is doubled up.

Not all minimalists are frugal!
I know a few that actully spend WAY too much money on making it look like they don't have things.🤣

Would that be the "muted luxury" I've heard about?

Anyway, it's out of my price range but it seems the upper class have figured out that maybe when people are starting to talk more about how most people have nothing (as evidenced by growing consumer debt), it's not so good to look like you just stepped out of The Capitol of Panem.

The iPhone is pretty toxic. It's got people missing their entire life staring into the phone, being told by TikTok influencers that stealing cars is a "challenge" and not paying taxes is a "life hack".

As a country, I feel we were already sufficiently challenged by people who are as stupid as they are aggressive.

Android Runtime didn't quite save them anymore than it did Microsoft.

Microsoft can't make things, all they can do is ruin them. Their invasion of my Samsung phone caused me to flee and just buy phones direct from Google.

I love Gatorade. Maybe it's from when I was working in a warehouse that was so hot at night that they left us ice cold gatorade in giant dispensors. Frequently I would get so dehydrated that I didn't even bother to get a cup. I just laid down underneath the dispensor and let 'er rip.
