Stumbled upon this article about the rising popularity of dumbphones.

Hope this community starts getting more traction :)

As for my journey, I am still on a “dumb smartphone” phase, an old phone with only Whatsapp and Spotify. I’ve been considering making the switch to a dumb phone or at least a candybar smartphone like the Qin F21.

I like the idea of separating my phone from my internet/social media/email/slack connections, but the reality is that I would rarely need a dumbphone at all. Like, I could probably leave it in my car. I just don’t call or even text that many people anymore.

For me, it makes sense to add calling and texting to the small tablet I carry with me everywhere.

Smartphones dominate the world. But have we become smarter by using them?

This community is oriented for people who prefer either so-called “dumbphones” or “feature phones” in order to regain control of their life.

Here is a very simple set of rules to follow:

  1. Don’t be rude to others.
  2. Don’t harass or shame somebody for not being hardcore dumbphones fan. Everybody does it his own way.
  3. Keep this community simple: discussions must be dumbphone or smartphone-oriented, not about dogs or food.

All in all, enjoy your time here :D
