Help me understand why people go back to using dumbphones...

Help me understand why people go back to using dumbphones. Being a smartphone proto-zoomer (my first few phones were dumbphones, getting into the era of mobile internet) I can't really wrap my head around that mentality. pic semi related

they don’t

/thread

Because they have battery life and easy to use interface.

what's a good dumbphone?

If it's Nokia it's just them cashing in to the nostalgia
Like this banana phone. It doesn't have the automatic opening mechanism, you have to slide it out manually. They're just churning out these dumbphones that look the part but don't function at all like how they did in the past

Burner phones

They usually use both. Smartphones for their Facebook and sharing porn in their group chat. While dumbphone is for those good old family and friends phone call.

I really never found myself needing the extra features of a smartphone in a situation where I wouldn't have been significantly better off just bringing a laptop along and didn't know before hand to bring a laptop along, or didn't still prefer to use a dedicated device for the purpose over a smartphone in the case of listening to music or GPS. The longer battery life and not needing to mess around with securing a dumbphone like one has to do with a smartphone if one doesn't want tons of companies spying on them just made more sense for my needs. I switched back a few years ago and have been using a dumbphone again for just as long as I used a smartphone, and still have no interest in going back.

Role playing or drug dealers or both

i have a galaxy s9 and what i started doing is putting my phone in battery saver mode so it acts like a dumbphone until i need the extra features and apps then i disable battery saver mode and i get a smartphone

Smartphone OS's are both botnet. Come back when you can tell me an alternate to iOS and Android.

You're not the only one with that thought.

How about people who got rid of their phone entirely or have no phone at all?

RING RING RING RING RING RING RING
BANANAPHONE
BOOP BOOP BE DOOP BE DOOP

Windows Mobile :^)

He means one that isn't botnet, not one that is more botnet.

He said "an alternate to iOS and Android". He never specified that it had to not be botnet.

It was implied, autist.

But not specified.

Because they’re idiots chasing a misguided dream of having a “secure phone”. A lot of things have happened to GSM et al with regards to security, and like it or not it’s the more recent smart phones that have those security updates. Your privacy might improve marginally (your carrier still sells your data no matter what phone you use), but now you’re horrifyingly susceptible to exploits.
>b-but who’s gonna want to hack my phone lmao
Don’t be retarded and push this argument. Think for a moment and imagine how valuable a mobile connection is in today’s world. You can verify a lot of accounts with an active number. You can sign up for financial services with your phone number. Are you really sure you’re willing to expose it to potential hikacking because you fell for the dumbphone meme?

IMPLIED. LEARN TO READ, MORON.

Can you please point out the part of user's post where this implication was implied?

Yes, the first sentence.

Trading a shitty computer that isn't that great at its main job for a specialized device that does one job well is too hard for OP to figure out.

>Smartphone OS's are both botnet.
That just shows that user is oblivious to the existence of more than the two major OS's. There is no talk of an alternative to those in this sentence.

It shows that he does not want another botnet OS. Faggot. Learn to read. I swear you drooling retards should have been killed at birth to spare the rest of us from the garbage you spew.

I can't read manga on the shitter if I have a Nokia

A Nokia what?

Why are you resorting to name calling?
It shows that he isn't aware of the existence of more than two OS's (as shown by his usage of the word "both"). He states that they are both botnet, which, by Jow Forums's colloquial definition of the word, is true. My reply simply aimed to educate the poor user that there are, in fact, more mobile OS's out there. This ought to show him that there is a nonzero chance of non-botnet OS's existing, and to either find out about them by himself, or to at least phrase his next post less provocatively, i.e., without the implication of a complete knowledge of all OS's.

I hate sitting on the toilet for long periods of time. I ALWAYS hold my shit in for as long as I can before sitting down and letting out a massive brown snake which inevitably clogs the company toilet. Honestly, holding your shit in and expending effort to keep it in your bowls is really pleasuring.

Nigger, you don't have to argue like this over semantic bullshit. You don't have to save face on an anonymous dildo crafting board.

>Why are you resorting to name calling?
Why are you so sensitive?
> My reply simply aimed to educate the poor user that there are, in fact, more mobile OS's out there
It was irrelevant since 1. He had a question and 2. Wangblows mobile hasn't been supported for over a year now.
>This ought to show him that there is a nonzero chance of non-botnet OS's existing
By showing him an even worse botnet? That doesn't make sense.

I don't like being a dopamine addict.
I have enough self esteem that I can spend 5 minutes waiting around with only my own thoughts.

But I like doing it. Your childish insults just further show that it is not me who has to attempt to save face. You are only digging your hole deeper, just accept that none of my statements were false and that name-calling isn't doing anything but make you look like a sore loser.

If he had a question, he did not, in fact, ask it.

>If he had a question, he did not, in fact, ask it.
>Come back when you can tell me an alternate to iOS and Android.
It's an implied question, you dipshit. Maybe if you had been on this board for more than ten minutes you would recognise it.

The only people using dumb phones are paranoid people, drug dealer and just these muh everything new is bad people.

Here we go with the insults again.
Here's a fun challenge: quote any part of any of my posts that is factually wrong.

Bonus:
>>This ought to show him that there is a nonzero chance of non-botnet OS's existing
>By showing him an even worse botnet? That doesn't make sense.
I'll show you a similar situation. It takes place a few hundred years ago. A biologist claims: "Of all mammalian species on the three continents, not one lays eggs. Come back when you can show me another mammal."
Note the parallels to the OP here. He isn't factually incorrect with his statement, other than the implied lack of knowledge about other continents (and thus, other mammalian species which may lay eggs). He poses a challenge to his opposite, to show him another example of the group of things about which his knowledge is incomplete. He implies, but doesn't state outright, that this example should prove his initial statement wrong (by not being botnet / by being able to lay eggs).
A while later, someone has discovered Australia and brings back a Dingo, a mammalian species unknown to the challenger, and unable to lay eggs. Does the challenger say that the existence of a hitherto unknown mammalian species just further proves his point? If he's smart, he will realize that there are more mammalian species out there than previously thought, and that he cannot dismiss the possibility of the existence of an egg-laying mammal.

This is a very rude post.

You failed to notice two heavy implications.

tl;dr

Because I don't like carrying a gigantic fucking heavy brick with tons of faggot apps. The latest Nokia 3310 is thin and has an attractive design, which you can't judge from photos (you must hold it in person).

You don't know what life is until you toss your gay phone. Similar to how Levi's jeans no longer caters to men. Their thigh constricting pants are a result of softies in the US. You are a disconnected cancer.

You still haven't pointed out any factually wrong statements in my posts. The fact that I chose to focus on more overt problems with the original post as well as your replies does not mean that I failed to spot those implications. In fact, I even answered the OP's implicit answer, albeit in a similarly implicit fashion, which I think is only fair.
You unwillingness to read well-thought out short texts isn't doing you any favours. Consider reading it, it's less than 1500 characters long.

>You still haven't pointed out any factually wrong statements in my posts
Autism. I pointed out your fault.
>You unwillingness to read well-thought out short texts isn't doing you any favours. Consider reading it, it's less than 1500 characters long.
Nope.

I specifically asked you to point out a statement in my posts which is factually wrong, not to state inferences.

You are autistic. Make like a tree and kill yourself.

>It doesn't have the automatic opening mechanism
Neither did the original.
It still bugs me.

If you're quite finished insulting me, can we get to the part where you concede the argument?

Because of
>I've seen you were online at 4:12 am and you read my message, why you didn't reply????????????????????????????

Is a dumbphone with MP3 player still a dumbphone? when does it stop being a dumbphone and becomes an smartphone?

You failed to read an implication. You're autism is not my fault, reddit. Go back to your crappy news site if you want to pretend to be in a le epic science facts autistic debate.

I, in fact, read the implication contained within the OP. I simply chose to ignore it on the surface level and replied to it with my own implications. Can you produce any proof in support of your hypothesis?

>I simply chose to ignore it
That's a revelation. Stop changing your story.

I never changed my story. I never claimed that there was no implication, nor that I did not catch it. Read my previous posts more carefully, please.

>I never changed my story.
Scroll up.

Privacy.

Please point out a part of any of my posts where I claimed that no such implication existed in the OP.

Scroll up. It's still there, I imagine.

Your imagination betrays you. You made a claim, now prove it.

It's right there. You never disproved my original claim.

you're both literally feeding each other's autism

Technically yeah, but they are obviously making a a callback to the Neo phone.
If you get one of these that will be the first thing onlookers who were familiar with the movie will ask, and you'll just set them up for disappointment when they find out it only slides manually.

Cram it.

I don't need to disprove anything. You made a baseless claim. As long as you don't produce evidence to support it, it must be considered false just like the OP's claim that there are no non-botnet mobile OS's or the fictional claim in my story that there are no egg-laying mammals.

Nobody will bother attempting to run an exploit on a 3310 nowadays. It's like still using w95, you won't get a virus on it.

>I don't need to disprove anything
Prove it.
>You made a baseless claim.
No.

In your mom's pussy

xD oops you got a meme!

I'm still a daily smartphone user but
>longer battery life
>fewer distractions
>smaller form factor
>can take more abuse
I can see use cases where not having internet on a phone would be a pain though, like having to quickly do a bank transfer or something

Attached: 1548465194226.jpg (206x213, 15K)

If you don't use any smartphone features what use do you have for smartphone?

That's exactly what a virus would say.

>It's like still using w95, you won't get a virus on it.
It's not actively supported anymore nigger. Less secure.

Open source is a corporate friendly term that only cucks use.

Your mom is open source, my mom is FSF endorsed.

xD epic meme. The alternative of open source is free.

better to suck the cock of many, than to suck the cock of the few

Then why suck corporate cock by using the term open source?

Yeah, that's what your mom does.

Originally Nokia was supposed to provide 7110, but they couldn't finish it in time. And that model actually has an auto slide.

You used the term. You love IBM or something?

Your mom literally has the open source sticker on her vagene nigger

They think it'll fix their mental issues like phone addiction despite the fact that this is only manifestation of underlying problems.

You said open source, you clearly support that movement. Stop sucking IBM's cock.

There was hamburger specific model that did have automatic spring assisted opening. Euro GSM version did not.

>you used the term nazi
>you clearly support hitler
I used the term as the insult which it is, in reference to your mommy

No you didn't. You presumed it as the default with your gay little meem picture.

>telling me what I did and didn't do, implying meaning is objective
kys autist

The one with auto slide is different with ugly scroll wheel.

Nice misquote.

nice retardation, retard. Your mom is open source cancer. Deal with it.

You support open source.

By using an image mocking your mother for being open source?

Yep.

Retard

I started using an old Nokia (Cums with Music) a few years ago.

Fine in most places but it couldn't pick up 3G signal which meant I had no signal at all in a lot of cities.

Faggot

I am sick of smartphones. They take away what's essential in human face-to-face communication. If someone wants to talk to me, he must do it via phone call or personal meetup where he must speak without being able to delete and rewrite the text. With emotions and all that. Most of the time, I don't even use my mobile any more. I feel like that has made me grown as a human.

>implying the meaning of the meme doesn't change based on use case
