Hi Jose, new subscriber here from Canada and I am slowly releasing myself from the clutches of smart phones. Does this phone have GPS Navigation, Whatsapp and spotify? these are the main things id need in a "Dumber Phone" , and connectivity to Virgin Mobile. Thanks!
This is fantastic! Thank you so much. Just got this phone and am excited to get it set up. I am not a big tech person, so this took me a good chunk of time to figure out, being able to watch you do it was helpful. LOVE the rainbow mouse.
It's smaller than a big phone but way thicker so really
Hope it comes to India. India has a Big Feature Phone market and I also want to stepdown and use it for digital detox
Perfect for digital and social detoxing. I need one
Hi Jose the link provided to shop is in pounds. Does this mean is the European version? I read that the European and Chinese version lack one or two apps. Thank you for your time.
I have a Nokia 2660. I can’t seem to get 4G to work. Doesn’t even show it in settings. Can’t check for software updates, even though it has a SIM card in it. The SOS feature is missing. If anyone can help or refer me to a website for this phone, I would be grateful
Is the bloatware (games, facebook) removable in this one? Or the same story as before ?
Same story as before.
Hello! I may have missed it in the video but can this phone use an internet browser?
No. It cannot.
Holy ××× its soooooo slow. . I would rage and break it after 2 days
Nah. You get used to it and embrace the slow profile.
@@JoseBriones that's exactly what I would say if I had been dumb enough to order it
Hey Jose! Your reviews have been so helpful. Can the preloaded events in the calendar be removed? Can apps be uninstalled? Does the weather feature have radar?
Nothing can be removed sadly. You can ask them if they could customize it. Weather does not have radar. It’s just basic
Touch Screen is either very unresponsive, or cpu is really slow... Really laggy overall
It’s eink. That’s why
I just acquired the TCL FlipGo through T-Mobile. The email app (under "Tools") doesn't work for Yahoo (option 1), and no one call tell me why (spent lots of time on the phone with both T-Mobile and TCL today). Do you have any idea what's going on? Thanks much.
Hi,if you compare this phone 3210 4G with other similar ones, such as Nokia 8210 4G or Nokia 225 4G 2020,which one would you recommend to buy?Is there a big difference between them? Thanks.
The software is all the same. The only difference is the shape.
I can’t seem to make my Lightphone work when using an aux cord to my truck stereo. Anybody else having this problem too? Oh, and photos that get sent to my email are tiny blurry as hell. Any fixes there ?
Is it chat or inbox/outbox? Group message capable?
Group messages work and it is a chat style messaging app.
@@JoseBriones Right on, thanks man. I appreciate all the work you’ve done!
Does the weather have radar capabilities?
Does the weather have radar?
Hey ! i loved watching your video, but can you please sahre with us if the phone has a hotspot wifi function ? can it share its cellular data ?
This phone does have WiFi hotspot
Is there a notes application?
Yes. It's pretty basic
can I use bluetooth headset or earphones in this device?
Yes
@@JoseBriones thanks for replying😅, does it also have dictionary translation touch (sensor) like kindle?
So it does 1/20 of what a normal smart phone can do at 1/100 of the speed, for $300USD
Yep. It also gives you 1000x of your time back
it had a web browser, why does your dumbphone finder website say that it doesn't have a web browser?
Thanks for catching that mistake. I'll fix that!
Your reviews are SO helpful! I just ordered the Light Phone 2!
Can you do a comparison of Nokia 2780 and Cat22s? If not what are the main differences?
Sometimes it seems like, by trying to simplify tech use, it's necessary to multiply devices and actually complicate one's tech life. I.e., someone gets a dumb phone, but then has to carry around a separate camera and a separate gaming console. What would you say to this objection to the "digital minimalism" lifestyle?
Digital minimalism isn't about the number of devices you use. It's about what they are designed to do and how to integrate them in your life. Yes, carrying multiple objects adds complexity and sometimes can be bothersome. However, having peace of mind and creating a space that isn't demanding for my constant attention is worth it. Easy and simple are usually misunderstood. Simple doesn't have to be easy. Easy sometimes leads to more difficulty. In the case of the smartphone, it makes a lot of things easy and convenient, at a cost. The question is if you are willing to pay that (attention, money, life) cost.
I actually live most of a time of the year on the dumbphone. I use the dumbphone for like 3-4 months, then I feel happy and decongested, and tell to myself: "Ok I can come back to a smartphone." 1 month, 1 month and a half again I'm fully addicted and say: "No, thanks. Hand me back that dumbphone." I use Nokia 4G
RM??
Does this emit any blue light? And, how is the mobile hotspot? Thanks again!
No blue light at all. Hotspot is good!
@@JoseBrionesMany thanks again! Keep up the great + helpful content.
Who does this cater to 16 years of smart phones
can you delete youtube on it?
You cannot. But it's not very usable
Which of these would be a viable option For use in Canada 🇨🇦
All of them
Will you make a video on iPhone's Assistive Access feature ?
I might. There are some good videos on the matter out there, but I'll think about doing a video
That’s a good phone to use at work
Do you have the option to widen the margins like you can with the kindle? The kindle allows you to make the margins as wide or as narrow as you want so you an have the text in a narrow column (like the way the text is in newspapers).
Different apps allow for that. I recommend Koreader for the highest level of customization.
How do i get apps on BLU Tank Flip? it says it is not installing
Do you know if it would be able to run another OS ? So my dream is to have messaging apps like signal and whatsapp on it and be able to use it as a phone.
Which one is better, M8 or M9??
They are the same. The only different is the shape
Just purchased two Lp's for my partner and I and we are pretty excited! We are both in the tech world and have been waiting for a phone like this that has the basic tools we need. Thanks for the video! It was helpful.
could it read QR code?
Yes it can!
doesn't do anything different better to use mobile phone.
Unless you don’t have a smartphone and then it does everything a flip phone can’t.
Doesnt work on boost?
This device has been discontinued.
@@JoseBriones I still see them for sale tho would they not work since they were discontinued
Why you always have to tap twice hahah
Love the light phone 2 form factor, although but due to work i need 2fa.. hopefully the Bigme highbreak will be decent when it comes out. but would definitely want it to be small as i won't be using it as an e-reader
Cop out excuse, just have a cheap smartphone on the side.
Just from lack of options, i decided to separate productivity from my phone instead of looking for a device that was a phone focused on productivity. So i got the Palma. It's only been a few days but at least what I want to use it for works great after adding nova launcher. The idea will be that im never reaching for my phone for anything productivity related. I will say that the work going into the LP makes keeps it a contender. The only thing that might pull me away from LP interest is if the Minimal launches, has active support, and has the core features i want on a handheld. Awesome video! Your dedication to this field is obvious! Cant wait to see the rabbit video.
Why would i be getting ads in america of this phone if it doesn't work here
Maybe HMD is wanting awareness for their new Nokia phones
Woohoo!
Woah woah woah. It’s not June yet
😂
What a FANTASTIC UPDATE, honestly this directory tool is such a life saver. Now you can look up what you need when you need it and you don't have a browser to get lost it. Just get the info you need about a place and dial the number if you need to..just unreal! The LP2 is just the best dumbphone team bar none...Mudita could learn a lot from the LP2 team as well as Punkt
Cool
