Very much still in progress (As you might be able to see :) ). My goal is to make a Nokia phone as if it is made in 2025 (or 202X kinda running out of time there and im not even sure how long it will take me) With USB-C, 4G (5G is not planned for reasons), 1TB+ of expandable Storage. I have already sent my first SMS/Call (a call without a mic or speaker to be precise…)
Phones just do too much these days. And I don’t get the feeling they respect my time nor privacy. They are also pretty boring as they all look the same. On top of that the current landscape of “dumb phones” consist of expensive phones you could hang in a art gallery, ugly phones with big ass buttons for seniors or inefficient un-optimized phones running android. I wanna change that.
Yes, as of right now this is the case. I’m not sure how this would change if I directly use the chip instead of getting the one with training wheels incl. which are always way to expensive for what they really are.
Im also not really using it to its full potential. As the phone won’t get any features that would explain 4G functionality for a long time, I could have probably gone away with a much cheaper one.
