BLFHIFHIHG HOOW?! I have a regular mobile without a touch screen or anything and ill tell ya what I cant possibally see why you would ever want to use a phone without actual buttons if it Dosent even give you the functionality of a touch screen??? basically the only thing more "eligant" about that phone is its small size witch even that has its downsides in making it uncomfortable to use and hold and it looks like it could be less durable too but i dont know that?

@dinochicken5916 6 лет назад

plus i mean now nokias come out with the Banana phone i mean, this is pretty much redundant isnt it? the Banana phones better than most smart phones

@MyMainMan90 6 лет назад

kevin jones is your 10 year old phone the size of a credit card? The advantage of this phone over old phones is its compactness for your pocket and also the simplicity about it which merged the simple UX design strategies of today’s phones with the basic nature of your old Nokia

@bwada8410 5 лет назад

@@MyMainMan90 search Nokia 8210 or 8250 its smaller than this but this is thinner.

How about Nokia 5310, that's a thin one too: this one is 95.85 x 55.85 x 8.75 millimeters, 5310 is: 103.8 x 44.7 x 9.9 mm

A great idea i think. I would have buy this but then again i'm not a phone addict so not for me. Would be good to see camera on this phone, since it gives you ideas where to travel, would be shame not to make some memories out of it.

@jdm2626 6 лет назад

I think it is an interesting device (and understand what it is trying to do) but couldn't you just delete your social media apps on your phone? With my iPhone I can also "delete" apps already installed on my phone so I can just have only a few essential apps.

@dice1331 6 лет назад

Can't believe people find this as a good idea. Okay it's simple and all but c'mon that's just too simple and for the price of $150? lol Much better to get a old nokia phone.

@drebone1986 6 лет назад

Exactly and every phone before this even at the start had more features, you couldn't make a menu button or volume rockers? Why is this $150 when anything else exists

@kujiko88 6 лет назад

Not too sure old Nokia phones have 4g or GPS, though, which are big deals to some people. I don't travel much, so neither matters from my perspective.

@jdm2626 6 лет назад

It is much cheaper to get an older phone with less stuff and works just as well as modern phones.

@drebone1986 6 лет назад

Michael Owen but if you're looking for a phone that's just a phone any phone works cause 4G is just for downloading big data and streaming music and video, you can still use your car phone in 2018 from the 80s as long as it's alive, I feel sorry for whomever buy this overpriced scam

@drebone1986 6 лет назад

Jdm262 or a modern-ish phone and turn off the notifications, whichever route you choose is gonna be cheaper, the main thing is options over this scam phone which itself isn't a scam but the price of a regular phone with no features in 2018 after you can buy a phone for $5 is ridiculous

@theblueblob8136 5 лет назад

Why cant we have a phone that looks like this one but works normally

@Spookyboo96 5 лет назад

TheBlueBlob yay to be fair you You easily do this with an iPhone. It’s just logical to use everything a smart phone offers because of its convenience. Once you do so and invite all those apps and features it’s hard to stop and draw a line

@Spughett 7 лет назад

Every review I watch mentions that it isn't recommended to use the Light Phone as an independent phone. Is there any reason for that?

@aravindvinayakan 7 лет назад

Just because it doesn't have many features. If the only thing you need to do is make calls, and you don't mind only having 10 speed dials then this phone may work for you.

@bry-hansolo8640 6 лет назад

They need to make another call-only mobile phone. An alarm or calculator are fine, but there's no need for texting on a basic mobile phone; they can easily become to time consuming.

funny that we as humans just can't stop wanting more and more from our phones, even this new Light Phone with all it's simplicity, was just not good enough, Light Phone 2.0 now comes with some more features. pretty soon, we will be back at smart phones.

@TimothyONeill_84. 6 лет назад

Way too complicated, I bought a pay as you go phone from Virgin in 2011 for maybe 50 bucks, no frills, no bells and whistles, just phone and texting, ok maybe texting can be considered a luxury item. I thought about getting a smartphone but not after hearing the horror stories about the radiation they admit and the latest news on privacy issues and such, so happy what I got.

i have a much more cheaper idea. if u want a getaway, put your phone in flight mode. stop bullshitting yourself into thinking that you need this phone to escape. it's in you. I hate negativity in social media, I've uninstalled the apps, i gained back my life. Easy peasy
