fr, considering you have to use the phone to keep in touch with friends/family, to check work/school related stuff and for directions and stuff like that I think 3 hours is actually a kinda healthy amount of time lol
$300 for a phone, mobile hotspot, music player, gps, email, etc, is not a bad deal. It’s not a 2005 flip phone, it’s just not a “smart phone”. It’s a normal phone with some additional quality of life.
@@whiteouthamstrait was still a better time to live in than how things are now. just a normal phone where you didn’t have to worry about how exhausting the media was and actually enjoying life. I would def go back to that.
I feel Android and IPhone just need to have a mode or model where you only have the basics and can’t install apps. Useful Things that dont suck time like flashlight or dual SIM can still be there. Maybe people can order their own customised versions on the internet. I’d buy that in a heartbeat
@@SoosRamirez1😂😂😂 "It would be cool if someone helped force me not to do things I know are wasting my time. Cause I sure as hell can't stop myself" 😂😂😂😂
Bro, just use a minimalist launcher and only keep non-addictive apps in the launcher. A good set up that I have used would be time, date, phone, texts, browser, mail, music, navigation, notepad, and camera. Each label just opens their respective apps. There are no logos, just words for each app. Use a non-distracting wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen. If it does not suffice inhibiting the addiction, then uninstall whatever your addicting app is. For me, doing this is sufficient. I leave the addicting apps installed and just open it extremely rarely with time limits put on each addicting app. The best part is that it requires no money to be spent.
I want a "dumb" phone because I am 99% sure there is an evil cabal trying to destroy my humanity and eat my soul turning me into a mindless zombie. That being said not $300 for that phone. You could by old flip phones for like $20, the most I would pay is $100.
Ooo I can’t wait to see your feelings and mental state after a month. Can you log your moods and thoughts on paper or something every day ? I have a theory about anxiety. Would love to see your rating daily on a scale of 1-10 on experience of anxiety either from being disconnected or something else. Also I have a theory about your mental clarity and energy levels being better day by day. The anxiety chart may trend up the first few days and trend down the longer you go and maybe spike up a bit at the end when your itching to get off the dumb phone. I’d loveeeeeee to see that data
As someone who used dumb phones exclusively for 6 months, your theory sounds very accurate to my experience. I didn't understand just how tethered to my smartphone I was until I got nervous walking to the shop halfway down the street with a flip phone in my pocket. Huge wake-up call for me. After a few weeks I grew to love how long and boring my days were. Though I no longer use a traditional T9 dumb phone, I use a Jelly Star now which gives me the conveniences of a smartphone (like banking, QR, government digital documents) without the massive all consuming screen to go with it. The lessons learned from that time have been invaluable to me, and one day I hope to go back 😊
I held out in mad protest to owning a smart phone until 2022!! I did the same thing in the 70s refusing to learn to play spades, when my friends all played year round. I finally snapped with in both cases, and now you couldn't pry my cell out of my dead fingers.
I need more than a dumb phone but it would be so nice to have a non-China color e-ink Android phone. It would have enough functionality to use, but still suck enough to discourage long scrolling sessions on social media.
@@CreativeC13 if it can be disabled, I will disable it lol. But a color e-ink Android phone would give me full functionality while being boring to use.
I feel Android has more options for creating a minimalist phone than iphones because launchers can be downloaded so easily. You should have bought a cheap Android phone from a reputable brand and just used a minimalist launcher. If you were the least bit tech savvy, I would say get an old Pixel phone, slap Graphene OS on it, and add a minimalist launcher to it.
I can’t believe 3 hours a day is considered addicted for you lmao. That’s a wake up call for ke
3 hours is lots of time, it is 12,5% of your day
I know right, I use my phone 12 hrs a day on the weekends and about 5 to 6 on weekdays 💀

I love sending emails
I spent 4h a minute on my email app

To who?
Yall aren’t getting what he’s saying, he’s hinting at the fact you can’t use your emails on the dumb phone. So it’s kinda pointless for work.
@@se7ense7ens37
Uhh yes you can 🤡🤡🤡🤡
He was actually wrong about email, the light phone supports email. He probably recorded the audio before actually using it or something.
if 3 hours a day means your addicted then i’m dead 💀
Yeah my younger siblings have 12 hour per day screen times…
as long as it has music player with an impressive audio quality, no social BS and not plagued with ads, I'm taking one
This is like the best dumbphone ever. Good e-book screen, has podcast and map, etc. It's almost all you ever need.
Well it’s 300 dollars when the same thing could be achieved for much cheaper. You could just get an e reader for that.
YES, I actually love it. Could be yellow and I'd have it (except that the price is just so unattainable and I don't it'd work in my country)
A 4" Ebook reader??
Stop 😔
Turns out we were actually more free when our phones had stuck to walls, with limited cord length.
You don’t remember the stupid long cords knocking things over as one walked around on the phone?
Yep, I do! Ours was 5 meters long,
I also remember how good it felt to be able to slam the receiver down. 🙃
I still remember my home number.
It's been years since the last time I even thought about this, how did you just make me remember my old home phone number?
@@eclecticsoul2359I still remember my old house phone number along with my best friends old house number that I used to call all the time.

I agree! As its good for my kids so we could keep in touch without im worry theyre addicted to phone!

It cost $299
This is what it basically was like in the early 2000s

I like this experiment. It's also an interesting phone.
This phone shouldn’t be more than $70 and yet it’s $300… yeah no
Its high quality with great design
For it to be satisfyingly cheap it has to be popular like other phones
Where is the update video?
Literally lmao
He's moved on from the internet, and will never come back. His time with the phone has changed him. He's a happier man now.
@@sleepfarts3686 The good ending 😌

Sir, 3 hours is ADMIRABLE, not addicted 😭! But good on you for trying to better your life further 😄
Damn, I'm doing 3 hours when I'm not at work where i go up to 6-7h
It's not a dumb phone, it's a feature phone.
Feature phone is cheap. This phone is not cheap
dumb-phone and feature-phone is same

I suggest you use Rabbit R1
Who else also addicted to e-mail? 😔
how the hell does one become addicted to zillow...
mmm yes houses i cant particularly afford mmm
You don’t really need this device to achieve this. You can simply just delete the apps that make you doom scroll and achieve the same effect.
This phone actually looks sick. I want one.
Podcasts is the same thing as UA-cam though. Most people just use UA-cam to listen while doing other things. Also, no emails? Emails Are a necessity.
But can it play Doom?

I have that one two But I like it
Has it been a month yet. Interested in your review!
and I thought my multilaser phone was bad, good luck man

Woah 😨
I learned so many things from my phone and I am using that knowledge so much in my job so... I don't want this
