Oh wow!!! Love this. Look at those keys! 😊

Oh wow so iconic !! en azerty en plus 😍

I may now drag my original O2 XDA and my XDA Exec out...

That is awesome. I wish I had one back in the day.

This reminds me of Planet Computers who are now defunct but still have webpage trying to sell the Astro Slide for almost twice the amount that was originally offered on their IndieGoGo campaign, but there is no phone to be had. They had a similar problem lack of communication and delay upon delay and left 100's of backers holding the bag with no product in hand. This is a sad situation, as some shipments have arrived in early backer's hands and have shown keyboard and other software glitches which cause significant loss of functionality. I will wait to see if this company stays together before investing any money in a sub-par product. I'd rather spend more money later on something that will work out of the box. Thank you for bringing this up as I agree with you wholeheartedly.

How would I go about install Sleke on your own phone, I have a pixel 6 phone with GraheneOS on it and I love it, but would love to give sleke a go.

Hello, i need help. How to put on album covers?

I found one at 100 bucks, I don't know whether to buy this or the titan pocket, Im afraid the key one will be too good to be a dumb phone, the screen it's big enough to binge scroll..

im using the q10 and i absolutely love it so ahead of its time it makes modern smart phones look overrated the design is on point,the camera is great and the music player is fantastic im just looking for a community of people using these kind of phones maybe we can share ideas and some hacks

No E-INK won't help if it still has the avenues to connect to the internet, look at that Minimal phone it's a regular android using E-INK I see nothing Minimal about it.

Dear Laura, thanks for sharing your personal story and always giving us these profound tech insights on minimalism, it's such an important topic. 💛🙏

I’m the type of tech person who’s have purpose built devices. I’ve my a Sony Mavica for still photos, my MiniDV camera for videos, my iPod Classic (with a 256GB ssd and a large battery), and then I have my steam deck for games and basic computer needs. I also have my phone. Which is a iPhone SE which I keep in black in white due to eye strain issues from colors. I don’t read or write due to dyslexia. Trying to read hurts my head and eyes. My hand writing looks like chicken scratch. So when I had my Blackberry Classic before the stupid 2/3G takedown. It kept me grounded and using my phone as a phone. I am hoping to get my minimal phone whenever that will be. I need my keyboard back haha

It’s more updates than the minimal company haha! That put a new meaning to minimal to the minimal company name! Haha just not in a good way. I hope my phone does show up though.

Just catching up on this, missed the stream. I'm left handed but use a phone in my right hand so the scroll wheel on the LPIII will be interesting.

Laura, maybe it would be useful if you could do a list of what is available on the market at the moment and ones that are a work in progress as some mentioned by commenters I have never heard of. Thanks x

I have been looking at the Nomad. With the new Manta, do you see yourself getting that device to replace the nomad? Are there any issues or regret with the smaller screen size? I am personally struggling with my consumerist pay so much for either given the cost of paper and a pen, but dang, they look so appealing to me.

We dont want any camera! If I want a camera ill gp buy a camera! That's the problem They're trying to make phones do everything.Next I'll be feeding us haha

It’s worth knowing that you can’t exactly completely get rid of music streaming. It’s still useful for discovering artists or listening to albums before we purchase as if addition is more expensive but you don’t care about the extra songs because you don’t like them it makes sense to say that money, people prepare to spend a lot of money on the music upfront

I have one but I need to get the battery replaced. I would use it when I go out so that way I didn’t have to worry about my phone so much

Have you tried switching yourself off and on again ?

ño

get razr v3xx for old vibes :p

100 percent agree with this, if you have a severe tech addiction e-ink will not help you, only a true dumb phone like the light phone 2, Punkt, etc would help,

Hi Laura. Whats the launcher on the Boox Palma you are using? Thx

Hello Laura, I love your videos and I'm very interested in low tech and minimalism. Do you live from videos and social media or do you have an other job and if yes is it a work in a company engaged for minimalism and help people to restore their time? I'm a young engineer and I don't know how to work for these kind of companies. Thanks for all your videos

Good video ive been using old phones 4 years as an mp3 but i do love the Blackberry torch i remember my kid having one and i love physical keyboards i really wish blackberry came back

Very good video. I hadn't thought about the hazards of success--the lack of eye strain leading to more screen time usage--as a down side to e-Ink. I will be looking for scholarly studies that assess the value of e-Ink for digital minimalism. It is interesting that the Niagara launcher does not introduce enough friction, or that hiding the Play Store does not remove it as a danger. What would be nice would be if Boox Palma devices and the like would give users the option to delete apps forever (with no ability to re-download them to that device). I know that that is technically possible (Amazon gives readers the power to delete their purchased books forever, unless they re-purchase them, although I don't know why anyone except Amazon would want them to do that--but that's another story).

Fantastic topic! I had to post this even before I watch it because I have been waiting for someone to explore this for a long time, thanks.

Hi Laura, thanks for another excellent video. I’m at the point of purchasing an e ink in order to reduce my screen time and agree with the points you make. With this in mind I have been considering the Balance Phone recently, not e ink but highly restrictive but with essentials such as google maps, WhatsApp and other apps that I will need. Have you considered this phone for a review or have any views on it? Many thanks 😊

Hi Laura, I'm an e-ink user and ditched by Boox Tab Ultra C because it was able to do too much so I switched it out for the reMarkable Paper Pro and found the perfect balance of minimalism I was seeking. I am now embarking on the next stage and was tossing the coin with the Minimalist Phone and the Light Phone III, I opted to purchase the LpIII and simply cannot wait for the arrival. A product simply being e-ink won't do it for many people and I wanted to get on-board with the ethos of the guys behind the LP. Keep up the great crusade, many of us are sharing the journey with you.

Thanks for the content and effort! I think the challenge is more what to do with the extra time gained by going minimal. There has to be a plan, like a hobby, write a book, learn a different trade, etc If there is no backup plan, then nothing will help, as, like you said, you will just circumvent the process and go back to a second reg phone to get the fix.

I think minimal phone is better, and I’ve pre ordered a pebble one.

Oh no not a bloody Iphone

Actually I have one and I am trying to unlock it from AT&T. If I can't I'll use it as you suggest.

Nokia 500. Extreme compact. And useles. Have 3.5 jack

i got a nokia c02 or something a slider phone of 2009..works great even with earbuds and headphones ..i go ad more music again soon since its easy to use and downside is back is sticky

Evil Apple's Airpods Pro2 has this thing with older phones (even their own such as the iPhone 3Gs) where if you pause a song once, it just doesn't play again until you reconnect them and I only have Airpods as of now so I can't use my recently bought BB Classic outdoors or at the gym. :(

I agree with all the points. However, there's one mp3 player that modern enough to support streaming and all sorts of apps as well. The iPod Touch (7th gen) running iOS 15!

Ya... I was pretty frustated. Ive heard some sketchy things about the guy so whats the game plan? Produce a phone that doesnt even work and then have people wait for updates? Scaryyyyyy... Did you get one?

I'm also going through the "revisiting old devices and giving them a new life" vibes, it's so much fun, I've been collecting old apple devices for a year I think and I just love to know that they're not in some dumpster, plus they make beautiful bedroom/studio/setup decor

Sound quality?

my love i just ordered this phone was yesterday and was scouring youtube for a decent and recent review. thanks for blessing my feed

I still use one but software and Google are the issue

Sony sells MP3 players. I think they call them DACs. They are several hundred dollars. It's basically just an iPod Touch with Android, so repurposing old devices isn't too different from what Song offers.

04:20 - I used to use the buttonless iPod Shuffle as a tie clip.

Love a Blackberry
