OMG I've been looking for a good phone for ages that has a full QWERTY keyboard (touchscreen annoys me so much). Thank you so much for sharing, I might look into this! :cheesy:

anyway, I have a Moto g power atm and it's alright as far as smartphones go, but I'd like to have something more compact for my pockets and with actual physical buttons (but isn't a complete dumbphone). I'm switching from my AT&T service to T-Mobile because AT&T is utter crap where I live, so I may be getting a new phone soon anyway.

One other phone I was thinking of getting is the CAT s22 flip or Sonim XP3, but I'm not quite sure how I feel about them yet, and the former is out of stock at my local place.

I have a Redmi Note, as far as smartphones go it's probably one of the most generic-looking ones. My whole family can only tell our phones apart by pictures we have on the back of them.

HOWEVER I do have this little guy for the soul. It's not the original one, it's a rebuild, but it's done so up to the real thing that it literally cannot connect to the modern Internet at all no matter how hard I try ahah.

It is a total joy to replay some old .java games though. Emulators are just not it. And as far as calls and SMS go it's perfectly usable. Playing music, too, but I don't have headphones with the right jack, whoops. (But I DO still have the old Walkman thingy that could be jacked into Sony Ericssons and played your music on a radio frequency! it's like a Bluetooth speaker but retro :cheesy:D)

I have a 3rd gen. iPhone SE. I'll honestly take it over any other modern iPhone or smartphone in general because I just... don't like long buttonless phones. I sometimes wonder if they still make smaller phones with buttons but never bothered to search about it, so this thread is somewhat refreshing.

in the real world, i use an iPhone 12. the standard-size non-pro one :P

i mean, it's fine? it's just painful when i wanna send something from one device to it and back lol.
i'd lovee to get a Blackberry or a Galaxy S3, S4, or S5 at some point though! but i still need cellular data (for calls, text messaging and stuff) soo really i'm limited to S6 and newer.

i've pretty much always and only had iPhones and i'm really kinda sick of them; like, a Galaxy or a Pixel would be a lot better, since i can shove PostmarketOS onto them, and do whatever i want with it.
Apple knows damn well how to fuck with Linux users though. nothing with Apple devices works at all on Linux, so you're completely locked to Windows or MacOS.

i suppose going into a bit more detail.

iPhones are interesting, especially earlier models like the 5C, and in general earlier Apple devices are really interesting to me! it's just that the new devices are super locked-down and really aren't very interesting design-wise either.
the weird folding phones are... interesting? i guess, in a broad sense? the Motorola 30 is good, but the Ultra isn't really for me, and the Galaxy Z flip and Z fold aren't particularly attractive for me.

i think though, the dumb phones look really cute. HMD is one i'd rather avoid, mostly since they're sorta overpriced for the quality you get, ever since that Barbie flip phone... thing.
Blackberry seems cool too, and i could possibly live off a Galaxy S5 if i could get the few specific models that support some form of cellular data that's still supported. and in Australia they're killing off 4G anyways.

postmarketOS seems really nice so i wouldn't mind an early Pixel either. but i kinda don't want a phone that looks the same as everything else? :P
yea i do need to do more research into these kinda phones, especially finding one that's not overpriced

i currently have a samsung galaxy a32 5g, but its on its way out - its a hand-me-down from my mam, the screen is all cracked, and the power button barely works, any time i want to turn my phone on/off or take a screenshot i have to be careful not to accidentally call the emergency services by pressing the button too many times in a row :trash:

luckily i have an alt mive style folder 2 on the way, set to arrive on wednesday!! its a flip phone that runs modern android, meaning that i can still access important apps such as those for transport, banking, and 2FA. ive heard that most people who get one end up decreasing their phone usage because of the form factor and i hope that works for me, i feel like i use my phone WAY too much X{
