Anyone here actually using a feature phone as daily driver? Or tried switching and went back? Curious to hear real experiences.
- CNN reports that "dumbphones" are getting smarter and more expensive — manufacturers are targeting people who want to disconnect but still need basic functionality
- Tom's Guide writer tried switching to an old-school feature phone and didn't even last a day — says it was too hard to give up smartphone conveniences
- Meanwhile, a Washington Post group experiment where people ditched smartphones for a month actually changed their habits and perspectives
- FCC clarified that their router ban covers portable hotspots, but phones with built-in hotspot features are excluded — so your feature phone's tethering is safe
- The dumbphone trend seems to be growing especially among people wanting digital detox options, though prices are going up as demand increases
- Nothing phone is pushing a new feature aimed at pulling users away from Apple and Samsung — though that's more smartphone territory
Anyone here actually using a feature phone as daily driver? Or tried switching and went back? Curious to hear real experiences.
