@@MrRetroswag this comment has the same energy as “don’t be depressed, just be happy”. Today’s hyper-addictive technology is quite literally designed to override your brain’s natural cues and willpower and keep you scrolling. That’s hard enough for regular people, but now we’re in the first generation of people who have grown up with technology, whose brains have literally developed in conjunction with this addictive technology and who truly do not know anything else. Now take a person who has been raised to be extremely susceptible to addictive tech, and give them a portable, durable device that is literally on their person 24/7. It’s like giving a person who has been drinking alcohol since baby bottles an infinite bottle of vodka that fits in their pocket. It is hardwired into many of us to be addicted to our screens, which is why the entire world essentially revolves around technology, and in large part specifically smart phones. So, here is a person who has acknowledged that they are spending too much time on their screen. They want to change and are looking for a solution that works for them. In this case, getting rid of the smart phone that enables the addiction. And what do you do? Make fun of them, and tell them not even to try their solution, because just not having an addiction is “so easy”, according to you. Honestly, just say you’re retarded and keep scrolling, man.

You must use T9 or button texting because the screen is so small with keyboard screen.

I absolutely love this phone. The small screen limits my screen time effectively, and the key pad prevents me from engaging in long, devolving text chains. At the same time, I appreciate having the touchscreen and the ability to download navigation apps that I enjoy using for backpacking (specifically Caltopo). I also love the ruggedness. It's just about perfect for my needs.

Hi, Jose! I found your channel while doing my research to downgrade a little from my current smartphone, while still wanting to keep some features. I really like this option. I have a question: one thing I would want is to use operating system different than Android. I saw that LineageOS and /e/ are some open source options based on Android. Do you know if they are compatible with this device? And how about privacy and security, do you have an idea of how reliable those OS are?

I have enjoyed coming back to this phone. Sold my LP2 to get money back after pre-ordering the LP3. I do miss having a true dumb phone but I will not lie its nice having spotify on the go whenever I need it. Every other app is disabled, browser, user etc and I use the freedom blocking app to lock myself out of text messages for 1-3 hours at a time has really improved my focus. This phone will do the trick for me until the LP3 and Mudita Kompkt come out..will have to decide between those two! I agree with you the phone is heavy for sure but because it flips it doesn't seem that large in the pocket. I just find because its heavy and cumbersome to use I don't want to use the phone so that keeps you away from it. I was just at the library with my kids and I was purely in the moment. I played board games with them, I read, they read, all the while the Cat was in my pocket not calling for my attention.

@@JoseBriones Thanks for the advice. This phone sounds perfect for me but I'm a bit worried about the size in my pocket (having always used small old style dumb phones). Do you know the length when closed as the dimensions of 119.4 x 61 x 23 mm must refer to the length being 119.4 when it's open, but I can see it's not exactly half the size when it's closed.

Can you assign phone numbers to the buttons for quick dialing frequent numbers? Also, T-Mobile provides free data and texting overseas, so WhatsApp can be used for calls. Will it work on this phone too?

Hey Jose!! I have loved this community I found and the example you're setting for others to "move offline". I tried using ADB to uninstall apps on the S22 without luck. Apps that I downloaded can be uninstalled, but I can't seem to get the others off. Any tips? I saw your course wasn't up yet.

Does this phone have the function to answer the incoming call simply by opening the phone (ie see who is ringing via the external smaller screen)?

Hello Jose, I appreciate you and you channel very much. Thank you! I recently bought a 2022 Toyota my smart phone was paired for my needs. Last week I bought the CAT s22 Flip phone, put my old sim chip in and paired it with the car, but now I can't connect to Google Maps, Android Auto seems unavailable for it as well. I noticed you pulled up Maps fine on this video, can you please advise? I do want to keep this phone, but I don't want to make my car dumb, if you know what I mean. Or add a monthly fee for an app if possible.Thank you

Do you need to touch the screen in order to scroll up/down the page or can you use the arrow keypad to scroll up and down as well? I'm looking to transition to a dumbphone and this seems to be a good transition phone. It would be great to not have to rely on touching the screen as much.

For most apps you can use the keys. Some apps only work with touchscreen.

In comparison to the Kyocera 903kc/902 do you think it's a worth while device?
@JoseBriones

It is easier to operate because of the touchscreen, but they Kyocera is better in build quality and design in my opinion. If you value function over form, it's worth it.

Just bought this phone. I gave up on many phones for reasons of them just being terrible and dropping calls or losing service. I had the light phone for a bit but no navigation that is actually useful.. sucks because that’s something I need, due to all the new places I drive to. Hopefully this phone will do and it’s like $60 on Amazon . Fingers crossed it finally gets me off my phone 😅
