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.
I’m happy to know there’s someone out there doing something that was once close to my heart. The current trend of every other phone looking like the previous as well as the next one has created a void for me.
When you feel unmotivated, just remember there are people in this world who think you are doing great work.
I wish you the best in the world, may you always get your favourite food, may your internet always stay fast and you poop like clockwork.
Thank you for your kind words! I might just frame your reply for motivation. :) The phone market really does look bleak these days. Im going for a T310 kind of vibe, it should be fun to use. But I don’t wanna go overboard with that either. It should be the perfect mix out of retro and modern. Like a lot of UI choices made back then wouldn’t really fly these days. I actually was kinda surprised by that.
