TIL that DVDs could even be regionally locked. That’s annoying.

Happy to be part of the top 1% in this case.
This is cool but I’m happy self hosting bluebubbles.
The weight issue is why I’m looking forward to (hopefully) seeing the Aptera make it to production. Being super aerodynamic and lighter weight so that it can charge up to 40 miles a day on solar alone. Lithium batteries would be better suited for this form factor.
That appears to be running Android tho 😄 (granted Gingerbread, a very old version) but I don’t think that counts as a “dumb” phone haha
That blue is very nice!
Curious what do you have now?
Just wish modern devices still had easily removable back covers without needing pry tools and hair dryers.
Wow that does kinda look like a Gameboy Advance just with way more buttons!
Do you still use an iPhone? I switched to Android after 4 years with my iPhone 5 and still use Android today.
Yep! Could even use the tiny outside display as a viewfinder!
This small form factor running Android would be very cool! Despite a small screen, it’d probably work well enough since you wouldn’t have a software keyboard taking up 50% of the screen real estate. The e-ink keyboard is a good compromise of having dynamic changing keys but still have the tactile feedback.
That little camera module looks like it actually took decent pics based on the sample on the wiki. Esp considering it’s from 2002.
Oh ya I remember wanting that one a lot! I think it was too expensive for me at the time, so ended up with the alias 2 but I envied anyone who had one of those.
It was such a joy to text on it!
Moto Razr in silver was my first phone ever! Loved the design of it!
I installed nameless on my 8t. It works well but Google Pay breaks occasionally with a “Device doesn’t meet security requirements”. On both instances, was able to fix with using a play integrity module but kinda annoying knowing it may not always be reliable.
Might regret it but I just ordered an S23 after trying it out at BestBuy. I saw that Samsung had a Black Friday deal for $200 off with trade-in of an old device. I have an old Galaxy S7 just sitting in a drawer and was amazed to see it on the list of accepted devices.
I’ve really been wanting a smaller phone as my OnePlus 8T gets really uncomfortable to hold after a while. Love everything about it except the size.
I also looked at the Pixel 8 but the S23 felt like the better choice with less compromises. Pixel 8 Pro is even bigger than my 8t, so no-go there.
Really wish the S23 was rootable (in US at least). That’s prob the biggest drawback for me. Will see if I can live without that.
