Discussion about all things dumb phone, digital detox, etc.
I went a good three weeks with my dumb phone until a work trip. I kept my android around just in case but rarely needed it. all my smartphone necessities were satisfied in about 10 minutes when I got home from work. I plan to switch back when I return.

So I bought a dumb phone again. it's been maybe 8 or more years since I downgraded for a time. I wanted something that wasn't super inconvenient but wasn't a low end smart phone. one could argue the one I picked is basically that, but I see it differently - there's no app store. The phone is also a "high end" dumb phone, so it costs a bit more than the cheapies. considering how much smart phones cost, I think it's a good trade off to detox for a bit. I got the Sunbeam F1 Horizon Bluebird....
