Albatross2724, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

My last phone before my first smartphone was a Microsoft Kin 2, but it was actually a pretty cool phone if you didn’t want to pay for a data plan. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/31ed7864-9da7-4efb-b365-52583ea982d3.jpeg

Bathtubwalrus,

My last one was similar, but smaller screen. LG Rumor

I’m wearing a fitbit versa 2, which when I got it was ok, but later on I found it too much. Now I’m looking to buy an automatic wrist watch. Lot of options, but budget changes everything. edit: for anyone interested, there are hybrid wrist watches, half analog half smart.

Landline -> Nokia 6600 -> Sony Ericsson P990i -> Android 2.3 “Gingerbread”

Been on Android ever since

whome, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

I have a Garmin viomove hybrid, I use it to count steps, count my swimming and see how much I sleep. I wouldn’t want a smarter watch out of trust issues. Battery life still sucks 3-4 days but the analog watch works if the smart watch part is dead.

SlurpDaddySlushy, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I make broth with Better Than Bouillon.

Yum. Also, careful of the sodium. Drink in moderation, or dillute it a lot.

Had a Samsung F250L. Neat little phone, decent camera for the time I’ve had it (2008-13). As much as I’d like some dumb phones again, the very least it’d had to have is fucking whatsapp, otherwise i’d be the “incommunicado”. I suspect something running KaiOS would suffice

I don't even want a smartphone now. would love a feature flip phone with the capability of being a hotspot. so wish that was a thing.

Ditto. My only hangup comes from how hard it is to find a 5G feature phone that works with US carriers.

f314,

If you can get by with 4G, you can take a look at the Punkt. MP02.

Depends on “how dumb?” I had a Motorola RZR before my first iPhone(2), then before that, some camera flip phone (Motorola E815), and before that, an SCH-3500 flip phone. Before that, land lines only.

Oh how I miss the days of simple yet complex innovation.

I had the flip shot (camera phone that flipped into a digital camera) from Verizon and the LG chocolate (slide up phone).

Both were amazing. Though I’d have to say my favorite was the tmobile sidekick.

Never had a Sidekick but I always thought they looked satisfyingly functional

FrankTheHealer, in Do you prefer to wear a smartwatch or a regular watch?

Dumb watch. I have a digital Casio watch (A158W) and it’s great. The battery lasts years and is easy to replace. It’s cheap and looks decent enough.

Maybe in years down the line when Smart Watches become cheap, easier to fix and give more health features, I might be more tempted. But right now, I love my Casio and highly recommend it.

ramenshaman, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Fuck yeah, I had the Alias 2 too. Such a cool phone. Then I also switched to an iphone 5.

droidpenguin,

Do you still use an iPhone? I switched to Android after 4 years with my iPhone 5 and still use Android today.

ramenshaman,

Yeah I switched to Android after iphone removed the headphone jack. Sadly it was only a matter of time before Android followed suit. I had LGs for a while and now I have a pixel.

Muninn, in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

I always liked the color. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/03f9bf28-dec2-4e4f-8519-8d3cc69a4843.jpeg

BlackSkinnedJew, in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

Genetic engineering

I would prefer a smart watch if there was one I could afford that meets my wants.

victorz,

What are your wants?

JusticeForPorygon,
@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

Well, I’d like if it were able to tell the time, and I suppose being able to respond to messages would be nice, though I don’t want to pay for the extra cellular device. GPS would be cool, and I suppose the general fitness features but I think most of not all of them have that. I have a Pixel 6, so I was looking at the Pixel watch series, but the battery life doesn’t seem all that great which is kind of a deal breaker since I will certainly forget to charge my watch. Oh! Sleep tracking! I definitely want that since I don’t think I get very good sleep most nights.

ZombiFrancis, in What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

Fresh fruit tend to be what I can consume without an appetite or even while nauseous. Melons and berries usually, but sparingly if I haven’t had much else of substance.
