Hi :) so since like 2 months i started to use my flipphone again. I use one of a cheaper brand of my country, here we dont have the new nokias or anothers that exist in the US :(, but i do my best.

Here in my country the main text app is whatsapp and im sick of it, thats one reason why bc i still have my smartphone, but usually most of the time is off, i want to sell it soon, i hate how companies makes us depend on their devices to just exist...mostly i just use my pc at home and a few hours. Honestly the more time i spend with my flipphone and the real world, the less i want to spend time online. 

But i like to check websites like this (the old internet), because i like it, makes me feel nostalgic (yeah i have that 00/90s nostalgia), and it seems more real. I have a digital camera, a cd player (but i have few cds), and i want to buy soon a mp3 player or recycle some old smartphone, that tiny ones to make it like a mp3 player, wish to get an analog alarm clock lol, just i think would work better xD. I use physical maps sometimes when i was able to find ones printed in my city, otherwise i write the indications in some notebook i have (made me improve my sense of direction)

i wish to get friends here more friends that use flipphones to be more present and ditch technology, or similar thoughts.

@Peebo_Peebo Hiiii, it's genuinely just a modern Android phone but in square ratio ! The keyboard has optional touch sensitivity and there is on-screen keyboard which I have turned off bc I wanna stick to the physical one. Camera quality is actually good, not 4K or anything but I have no issues with taking good quality images on it ! All apps on a regular Android phone function the same on the Unihertz Titan 2, there is also a slim screen ratio if you really need it for things like TikTok or reels etc. I highly recommend it, it's been a very enjoyable experience with basically no setbacks !

@𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫 Mine was second hand !!! I highly recommend looking into second hand retailers with physical stores in your country, felt like a much more reliable experience and faster delivery than second hand from somewhere like eBay.

@dolliene Given where I live, I'm not sure if I can find anything like that but I will definitely have to take a look around!!!

I wanna get into it, especially as a way to physically stop myself from getting lost in smart devices. Probably next time I need to change out my phone  I will get a flip.

I agree that it's predatory gor companies to make us all so reliant on smart phones. Yes, it's convenient to have music, calls, maps, etc. All on one device, but having everything on one device will also keep us trapped on the single piece.
