    Kinda funny that we’re looking at this on lemmy, 90% of us are on our phones browsing while doing random things.

    It looks cool, but smartphones, good or bad, fill the void of riding the bus, waiting 5 mins for your next meeting, waiting for your partner to get ready in “5 more minutes”. I’m ADHD and this helps me just unwind.

    I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s silly that this is being pitched as revolutionary.

      I have ADHD too and my smartphone is pure poison. It’s way too addicting. I long back for the days I could just zone out on the bus while listening to music.

    Privacy first? So what is WhatsApp doing on there?

    I get why, that is for a lot of people the ONLY way they use a phone instead of calling, but this definitely not privacy first or social media free then.

      I mean, it’s not like it comes preloaded or anything. It’s Linux, you can choose install (or not install) whatever you want.

      Edit: Good Lord, it actually does come preloaded. Unreal.

        yes, well except that is what they are trying to patent (as far as I can tell) using key based tools to not allow certain apps and DNS filtering as well. If its based on linux, thats one thing, but doesnt stop them from locking things down.

    I kinda like the phone. Would be a good phone for my daughter, but not at that price tag. I’d pay 150€ max.

    This will flop. Iol be surprised if this gets more than 5 units sold to collectors.
