Despite just getting a new phone its pretty tempting. Hard to believe Google has a hand in this

Kinda compelling. and 20 days on a friggin charge

What does it do? Nothing. You put in a SIM card, press a few buttons, and make a call. There’s no browser. No games. No NFC. It has quick dial, which is nice, and it doubles as a flashlight. Did I mention it lasts for 20 days on a charge?
The creators, Joe Hollier and Kaiwei Tang, created the phone at Google’s 30 Weeks incubator in NYC. They both came from a design background but Kaiwei has a background in building phones
“We started building this because it became very clear that true happiness means being present. This has been written about by so many of the smartest minds since Seneca. So much of our days are spent connected and staring at screens that we are losing that presence in so many situations. We built the Light Phone as a way for people to find balance with their connectedness. It’s not that we think people should never connect again, it’s just that taking a break is extremely healthy in every sense of the word,” said Hollier.

I bet you old fricks still couldn't figure out how to use it

Genius.
I often look at the burners on sale for $10 at the store near my house and wish I could just drop my smartphone and use that from now on.
Id buy it if it had a large phonebook in it too.

Yeah, not true. I was present in reality before I got my phone and it was shitty. That's why I disconnect from it now.

Here's a pic of the line of people waiting to buy this thing.

I could use one of those.

We don't need to regress, that is stupid. Old folks and their damn nostalgia.
Posted on 5/21/15 at 12:31 pm to Chef Leppard
My mom would be all over this, can't use any smart device and never remembers to charge her phone.
Posted on 5/21/15 at 12:31 pm to Chef Leppard
I'm looking at possibly ditching the smart phone very soon. Pretty excited about it.
Posted on 5/21/15 at 12:32 pm to Chef Leppard
$100, I am tempted.

I'd go back to the Blackjack in a heart beat. Still the GOAT phone in my book.

I don't think it's a nostalgia thing at all. Its about taking your eyes off a screen for a change. I have my head in my phone non stop sometimes. I imagine in many environments workplace activity would soar if nobody had a smartphone in their hand all the time

Looks like a calculator with a piece of tissue paper glued to it.
Posted on 5/21/15 at 12:38 pm to Chef Leppard
Can we post on td w it?
Posted on 5/21/15 at 12:39 pm to Chef Leppard
Exactly what I am looking for my kids when they need a cell.

Calling your shot on that degree of laziness doesn't make you lazy. It makes you a down voting a-hole.
