I stole my mum's phone today and ran termusic on it while I was mowing the grass.

I was just coming here to post about that. Looks pretty cool, might grab one. Swappable face plates. That founders edition gave me a slight chub.

Commodore Made a Digital Detox Phone That Isn’t Dumb

With a retro look and T9 texting, the Commodore Callback 8020 smart flip phone taps into the nostalgic yearning for simpler days. It can run Spotify and Uber, but Instagram is blocked.

Nani the fuck? Agreed, yea I was thinking 120.

I bought my mum a nokia like that awhile back and I'm thinking it was around that.

I hope they fix the screen-cable-pull-loose problem.

Have not tried a pixel phone , I have a 2022 samsung phone and like Lanx Lanx , prefer their ecosystem. Guess I'm just used to it. But when Google pulled out of the tablet race I did pick up a Pixel tablet for cheap a few years ago and it was such a 1:1 copy of ipads I gave it away. Completely hated it.

My wife and I have rotated through both Pixel and Google phones. When it comes down to it? Samsung has more reliable hardware and seems to have better battery performance (especially as the phone gets older). Google is FAR less bloated with crapware.

I'm debating right now getting us new phone, but the ones we have are still working well enough it's in no way pressing. And they're Samsung S20 FEs (so half a decade + old phones) I had to have the screen replaced on mine once from a drop and crack. I had them replace the battery while I was at it, but it wasn't really having terrible battery issues, I just figured while I was getting it worked on I'd get it "refurbed" a little. But it's been a damn solid little phone.

My only 'want' in a phone is a good camera. The ones on my current phone work well. Until I either lose it or it dies I'm staying with this one. Have a Samsung tablet as well that I read on. I will say every time they roll out an update , that they call 'security', we have to go through and make sure it didn't sneak in some games. I bet I've uninstalled solitaire at least 4 times.
