This might seem like a silly question, but is there any way to access Gmail? The reason I ask is that I'm really interested in the idea of detoxing, and this seems perfect. However, I usually use my phone to board the train, as the train manager scans a QR code for my ticket. Without the train app, that wouldn’t be possible. But if I could still access my emails, it would be perfect.

Nope, it's still useful to have video, a browser, and Google maps on my phone. I barely use social media so that's not a problem. If you have to buy a special phone just because of something like that, I think there's a bigger issue there that a phone isn't going to solve.

My view on the process point: they are building this phone to be the last phone you’ll need. No need for yearly upgrades like all big techs out there. This company will not have the constant yearly revenue of people upgrading there phones year after year. So to me, the higher price point allows them to exists and service this phone further down the road.

100 percent correct, everyone that is complaining about the price should read your comment. I bought this phone day 1, my phone plan is ridiculously cheap because I will have the light phone 3 and I won;t have to buy another phone for probably a decade plus. Those savings alone make the phone worth it. You are saving more money over the long term

I like the 3, if you are going to carry a tool it might as well be a multi tool. Tools don’t consume time which is why they chose the feature set of this phone. I’m looking forward to going simpler and hopefully there are people in this world that recognize the value in it also so I can talk to them because no one talks when they all have smart phones.

My IRIS Easy Flip alternative. For $60 I have rugged build quality, USB-C port, headphone jack, changeable battery, zero 3rd party apps, secure OS (neither Android or iOS), a rear camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and the following native apps: Calendar, Contacts, Messages, Call History, Gallery, Voice Recorder, Music Player, Clock, Calculator and an FM Radio. Best of all, it offers excellent PHONE performance while satisfying the original DETOX objective. I'm not certain the LP3's virtual QWERTY keyboard, flashlight and privacy-risking Map app are worth an additional >$700.

Flag ship phones by leading manufactures start at $800 and can go for $1200. No one complains. The incremental “new” features they add to their phones doesn’t justify purchasing their phones.

I think it’s a great concept. I’ve know about the company for a while and got renewed to it when Kendrick released it with his label. It’s crazy to me that I can’t put down or not use my iPhone. Highly considering this but only the newest model makes sense. Price is kinda steep but if it helps to reduce phone addiction I’m all for it.

Oh I agree 1,000,000%!!! I’m one who would greatly benefit and am a bit desperate to greatly reduce my phone/ipad usage and live with far more focus and less pulls and distractions. Some things, you “can’t put a price on,” but then, at 70 on a fixed income, that $800 “price” is a tangible reality. I’m also trying to figure out how to go without a couple of medical apps (am a caregiver, plus managing my own diabetes with an app-tied CGM), it’s my cycling computer, gps and route creator, etc. Those are fairly essential lifestyle-and-health apps I’ve not figured out how to function without in what seem to me rather indispensable. But agreed - the distractions are a monster battle. The iPad is also very much tied to my work and studies - but a monster always also lurking.

Having no phone is better than lightphone. I use a tablet as a phone. So I have all the features of a phone including a big screen for reading, but I can't carry my phone everywhere so I only keep it at home and use it at night. At night I catch up with all my missed messages and Whatsapp, but I also bring it with me in a backpack if I need to draw or use Google location. With that large of a screen I can't use it addictively, and only use it when I need to.

It looks fantastic, with the exception of the same deal breaker with other similar devices I've looked at - lack of any rideshare capability. Some may not be impacted as much or at all, but for many of us that's become a necessity, if not for many more something handy to have access to if needed. The smartphone alternative that successfully implements this I think many will take interest in. Hopefully it's Lightphone.

The thing is Lyft/Uber has to work with them on this. They got close with Lyft a few years ago, but weren't able to close that deal. LP is a closed OS system- although it's running a stripped down version of Android- they don't have the playstore hanging out in the back to just throw it on there.

If you think 800 is absurd , here’s some food for thought. Keep a smart phone and lose 2-8 hours of your day on the screen or buy back your time and attention by making this investment? You’re not buying a dumbphone, you’re buying back your time, and that’s invaluable.

This is such a weak excuse for a phone that’s nearly $1000 after taxes lmao You can buy your time back for $0 with a little self control. And for like $75 on Amazon. 800 IS absurd.

That was a sales pitch with an empty conclusion. You can buy both a dumbphone and your actual time back with the low price of $50. The Light phone costs you $800 + the extra time you need to work to pay for your other addiction of financial irresponsibility. You know what's invaluable? Self control.

​@@MorganTheGorgon That's like telling a kid, "look at the cookie jar but don't go in it." We have been conditioned for the better part of the last 2 decades to be wired to our smart devices. When you remove temptation and replace it, the behavior will naturally subside. It's not about semantics but the principle of the core issue at hand. Also its unrealistic to expect the vast majority of people to purchase a shittier version of something they rely on daily. I can also bet you if you're paying $75 for any phone in this economy you are a getting a premium product of inconvenience. This coming from someone who grew up in a frugal household.

I dig the boxy industrial design on the 3. I understand why the cost is so high, they're not a huge company, this is a low quantity run product, and they don't have recurring yearly revenue. But I'm still not sure I could dump so much money on such a thing. The pre-order discount is nice, but I don't pre-order on principle. I'll stick to trying to make my smart phone dumber. You don't need a dumb phone if you have the restraint to delete the apps that distract you. I'm a few months in to muuuuch much less social media use and I already feel an improvement in my mental health. Don't feel forced to spend money and work with what you have. Any smart phone can be dumb if you try.

I'm curious about the legalities of having my employees leave their personal phones in a locker and then giving them the light phone while they are out in the truck doing work in the field I would use the light phone as a GPS hotspot for a tablet in the truck so that they could still use GPS and invoice customers via internet etc

I have been using the light phone for almost two years and I was really looking forward to an upgraded model. I'm a little disappointed because they got rid of the eink and they added a camera. I understand that the camera is for functionality and to capture the moment, but it's so easy to get distracted by scrolling through the photo album feature, which I ultimately don't like. The eink created such a mindful experience with the phone. The price is a no go for me - $400 USD is $650 Canadian, which is outrageous. I ended up purchasing the Hisense HiReader Pro which doesn't have a camera, but it's eink with a fast processor and you can delete apps that you don't want to have with you all the time.

i think for the price they think now as Apple or LV. The more it's pricey the more people think it's worth it and want it because it's even more "luxurious". The problem is that Light is not enough popular to do such thing I agree that the price is a bit too much. 300$ was already enough

The point of these $50 dumbphones is to buy it once and forget about it. This phone "wants" to be a dumbphone, but it also wants to be thought as the "Apple of dumbphones" (especially with this price tag), which kinda defeats the purpose of buying a dumbphone: this phone injects vapid materialism in a world conceptually antithetical to this very notion.
