/flpg/ Flip Phone general

>>>/g/

Press F for Symbian

Costs 1/5th as much as average smartphone.
Replace Battery when it dies
some get free Fm

doesn't break if it falls.

shittiest china knockoff is 2x the battery life of your favorite "feature" phone.

Downside: cant post cuckerberg memes on them

Are these flip-phone threads some kind of reddit newfaggotry, cia astroturfing or dumb hipster neoludditism from normalfags who see no other use for their slates other than niggerbook consumption they started finding distracting lately?
See, if you remove a baseband chip from a feature phone, you'll get a plastic brick that hopefully will let you play tetris on it.
If you remove a baseband chip from smartphone, you'll get a PDA. This PDA will let you use maps, do scientific calculations, listen to music, watch movies, connect it to a TV/projector, keyboard and mouse, take photos and record videoclips with good enough quality, record voicelogs, take notes, read and write documents, play most pre-2004 videogames, write scripts, access servers remotely over ssh, use email and xmpp, make encrypted calls over sip, basically anything a basic Linux terminal could do, with slightly degraded experience of absent keyboard and small screen size.
Why does this topic has to be on this board anyways? Install slackware, queer.

You can remove the baseband chip from most smartphones because they are built into the CPU. This is why the Librem 5 has some essesence of popularity.

*You can't remove the baseband

First clamshell I owned was an Sch-u740 at 13yo, I still have it somewhere in a box of junk.

Could this be flashed or turnt into anything useful?

Exactly what can do my laptop, but with an OS I control. You don't control shit on your phone, and it's too small to really work on it. It could be a solution, but phones are such pieces of shit that a x220 or any ultra-book is infinitely superior.

The reality is that we should not be using any phones. That's really a pain in the ass. Socially, if I don't have a "smartphone", I'm either a drug dealer, either a poor fag. So I'm trying to do the best I can with a galaxy s3 with replicant, but even their I'm seen as a poorfag.
I'm really waiting to get out of college, to get ride of phones, or only use old shitty phone just for work.
God I hate social norm. Forcing you to wear fucking tracers. At least, if you're living in a shit tier country, no one cares. You got at least that.

Great. Now I'm a poorfag drug dealer who gets high on his own supply...

I have an older samsung rugby. The non-botnet version with no Wifi. The new version is shit in every way.

I made that so long ago, nice to see someone using it.

Late millennials pls go

Still using a flip phone. I like buttons and I only use my phone to talk to people, touchscreens can get fucked.

I had one of these bad boys back in the day. Tiny and had a loud speaker and crazy battery life. I miss it.

I'd buy a modern incarnation of that if it existed.

Late 2000s, 2007-2009 was a popular period for those style of phones. 100s of designs

*modernize as required

flash android, change components, etc.

I said modern.

RF radiation of these is thousands of times stronger than botnet phones. The only solution is to not own a phone at all

Post Proofs.

So? Are you one of those ignorant retard who think "radiation = nuclear = bad"?

Put your hand inside a microwave and see what happens.

Surely it isn't silly at all to compare 700W of radiation in an enclosed space to 100mW of radiation in an open space.
