@martijnbraam You tempt me! The vast majority of these on Ebay are from China. I once ordered a "new" phone from China but it was refurbished and gave me a lot of problems. Anyways, it's going to take all my willpower not to scoop one of these up. I wonder if the voice control feature being developed for #sxmo (numen) could be made to work here. I don't see anyone going back to T9.

@williamtries @martijnbraam > I don't see anyone going back to T9.Well, somehow I did (went OnePlus One w/ SailfishOS → Samsung B2100) and I would prefer it over voice control and even most smartphone on screen keyboards like the one coming with Phosh.

@samuelnorbury it's very much not usable since nothing in pmos is designed to be operated without touchscreen and having only a numeric keyboard

@martijnbraamI wonder If it's possible to make anything work. I've though about getting this phone as I could use the Matrix client someone was developing at the time with GerdaOS. I was strongly against getting an Android phone. In the end that guy gave up on the project and even E2EE never worked and I ended up getting an Android phone that could also run UbuntuTouch and Sailfish — turned out not that bad, but I'm still thinking of something else 😅@samuelnorbury

@m0xee librem5 is currently a great experience, but super expensive to buy new.I don't know what the pinephone pro usability is like, but that could be a good option. Or oneplus 6 seems promising with pmOS.

@samuelnorbury Neither is currently an option for me as they don't ship here. I can use some proxy parcel service, but, both being very experimental devices, if things go wrong, the return might become a hassle 😩 No, I'm quite satisfied with the phone I have now, but I've seen these Nokias being sold and I was thinking it would be nice to have a not-so-smart phone that could act as an access point and have at least some Matrix and Fedi capabilities — that would be perfect.Truth is…

@samuelnorbury I don't need the computing power of modern smartphones. it's mostly wasted because even UI is often based on same tech that drive the web, turn system WebView off in an Android smartphone and you'd be surprised how many apps break.Even the phone I have now: 8 Gb of RAM, 3 GHz octacore processor — and that's a midranger. What's that? I can use a laptop that is magnitude less performant and be fine with it. Well, at least it can last five days on one charge, thanks to huge battery😁
