Random Fact: I was actually one of the developers for the iOS version of Gameloft's Siberian Strike back in like 2008/9 I think lol. I actually screamed when I saw it popped up on the video.

That poor Nokia woke up for the first time and was like “Ah, easy life in someone’s glove box 😎” and the last thing it saw was its grandpa winding up to beat it to death.

It makes me weirdly happy to see flip phones still, they are just so cool to me still

I bought the first phone as a travel phone. It ain’t bad for that purpose. The thing I like most about it is the FM radio functionality. I can take with me to Italy and be able to listen to the radio without buying a set once I arrive.

Ah yes, burner phones; for when you want to conduct "business".

My man wanted to find a cheap phone and ended up buying FIVE different phones for a grand total of over 600$

This is probably one of my favorite videos from Dankpods. I love it cuz I want a manky work phone. So this honestly helps. Been mostly looking at Nokias lol. Some Apples too, but mostly old. Like OG old.

i cant believe we’re moving from dirtypods to dirtyphones we’re evolving y’all

i remember getting my first samsung galaxy mini for 115 euro back in the day, man that thing took a lot of falls

When my phone broke I bought a 40 dollar track phone that is touch screen and its surprisingly good lol

You forgot the best part about flip phones: Slamming them shut at the end of a call.

We gotta get this man on Cold Ones. There would be so much Aussie energy.

I like how he bought 5 phones just to keep one

Am I the only one that noticed the elderly phone has a SOS function and a legit dedicated red button on the back? Is the SOS function a normal thing in Australia?

man, watching as the patreon list go faster and longer puts a smile to my face

"Imagine buying one phone when you can split the cost and buy 6" - probably Dank's logic

8:27 D-A-N-K-P-Oo-D-EEEeeeeesssss

I love that the first phone you reviewed is my current phone. It's actually really good as a phone and mp3 player, just not anything else. Battery lasts forever, though.

When this man crushed the modern Nokia with the Og Nokia brick I lost it.

“A fantastic phone for elderly or real young kids” I’ll let my elderly kids know, thanks

Now I almost want a beefed up flip phone. None of that bendy glass business, no. Just a button flip phone with a touch screen that goes out to the edges, and decent power and memory. Maybe even a dedicated scroll wheel/touchpad. That would be sweet.

Yay, the tech style of my childhood and adolescence! xD Also, I genuinely laughed watching this video. Glad I stumbled on this channel. :D

"It's 3 months old. And it's dead." What a rough sentence to be taken out of context.

i love how he tested the durability of the first phone by smashing the Nokia brick against it instead of 1 Grit. looks like ol' Gritty Boy has some competition

My brother and I both have Galaxy S8s, and they're still going pretty strong (if a little slow due to aging). As a backup in case one of our phones carks it, we got what we call a "Dumb Smart Phone" from JB Hi-Fi. It's basically the kind of phone you'd give to a your kid who needs a phone, but doesn't need all the features of a smart phone, but they can still use WiFi and all that. This thing is SO slow, and it's ridiculously light for a touchscreen phone. It overheats at the slightest inconvenience. This is why it's a backup. We only plan on using it for a week at the most while we wait for phone repairs or replacement.

Before I got my Z-Flip (I'm apparently one of the lucky ones with no issues and I LOVE IT) I still had a dumb basic flip phone...I liked how basic it was, long battery, and small in my pocket. Unfortunately when they upgraded everything to 4G (which made my 3g nonfunctional) they apparently changed the os of the new ones and made it somehow WORSE. I used to love texting via the number pad beacause I could do it really quick, even without looking. But the new one removed the ability to press the > key to start a new letter...so if you wanted to type something like "mom" you used to be able to quickly type 6(m)>666(o)>6(m). But with the new phone you had to wait TWO WHOLE SECONDS for each letter to time out. On top of that, it often just wouldn't work for no reason! Everywhere I used to have a signal I now didn't, and even when I did it often wouldn't connect or send a message.

"Finally a phone to share the same pockets as my keys" Well, I wouldn't do that, it's a Nokia, so you probably should protect your keys

Oh no, he’s realized that we love basically anything he makes on any topic! Variety videos incoming!!!!

When I was like 10 (2012) my first phone was a standard flip phone, and I LOVED the thing and still love flip phones. Yeah now I have a standard smartphone and crap but I'd like to get a decent flip phone for my work phone... with a little better camera than what DankPods decided on.

My friend that has a flip phone from a different company has the same games and music. So he put it at full blast in my school and was vibing to it while people were crowding around.

Me: Buys a Car Me: 'This car is great, but I think I need a new phone too' Opel: You're Not gonna believe this.

Imagine being able to replace your own screen… Apple: Next joke

Great video as always! My favorite part is when he got to crazy eggs. Especially when he went all like "Woah. WOOOAH! AH! AH! Augh! CRAZY!"

That first flip phone you reviewed Honestly made me want to get that as a secondary phone for work. It's going to have to happen eventually and I am not getting another smartphone. That thing was Kick-Ass!

Hey Dank, the reason the smartphone might keep dimming and brightening is because of something called adaptive brightness. Depending on where the front camera is, whether in the dark or by bright light, the display adapts to it regardless of what you set it to. You can turn it off in the settings I believe.

KaiOS is so good for the phones it runs on

T”he answer is no m8” bruh you didn’t have to Make us laugh that hard 😂

5:00 I’ve got a friend at school with that exact phone. Man do I feel for him.

DankPods: "What phone should I take?" I was like: "Nokia Flip, obviously!" And I was right, I miss flip phones (mine is still in the drawer somewhere...)

He almost created a singularity by hitting two Nokias together. Thank god one of them broke.

Seeing a flip phone that can film a snake in a hammock and you can actually tell that's what's in the video blows my mind. I lived the flip phone days and those video clips would've been 10fps 320x240 clips, almost pitch black and blurry lol. Even at noon in the sun the video would be all black and white completely blown out... only the most perfect of cloudy days would a video even be possible lol.

Better quality on a literal rock

"Hard of vision" is absolutely hilarious to me as someone who's partially sighted. Also, with the shifting brightness there's usually like an auto brightness setting

hey Dank! i’m sure i’m buried at this point but I would love to see a video where you use the shit burner flip phones as music players. you’d be surprised how few videos talk about that. surely they must rival some of the more obscure nuggets out there.

"And I'm looking forward to this because I finally have a phone that can share the same pocket as my keys" Oof, I felt that XD

🤣... You're killing me! Racing Attack, let's just call it traffic, okay?

Starting to see new scuffs on the new iPad case, soon it’s going to look like the old one.

I had my friend over, we got in the hottub, he accidentally dropped his phone in it, so we went to walmart to get a phone, we fooled around there for awhile and found a phone for 10$. I thought there was no way it would actually be legit. But my friend just went ahead and bought it, we were laughing the whole time. When we got out of the store , he ripped the phone out and it actually didnt work too bad. We had such a good laugh.

"This thing is gonna work for a really long time!" I thought so too, until recently we had a voLTE switch. I had the Nokia Banana phone 4G model that came out a few years ago, and despite it supporting 4G LTE, it did not support the band that voLTE required. So no phone calls, only SMS Text Messages. I was furious, I ended up not caring anymore and bought my first iPhone. It sucks too because I really liked that Banana looking thing too. :(

Nokia 2720 Flip is my daily phone as I got tired of smartphones and keep online stuff on my PC and tablet at home. Funny seeing it here. Mine is the white one. It helped getting less distracted on school too.

"Things that were made to be good have every chance of staying good. Built cheap = always cheap." My man mr.pods here dropping out truth bombs. This is gonna be my go to principle for buying used now.

Nugget man with his nugget music players, driving a nugget now has a nugget phone. It's like a Maccas coupon up in here.

7:31 The design of this phone is very, very similar to Samsung SGH-X520 - my first cell phone, which I had been using between 2009 and 2014. My mom had been using it for 2 years after it was bought (bought in 2007), and in 2009 when I was 10 years old, I got it from my mom. I had been using it until it was not really damaged and unable to use it comfortably - until 2014 when I was 15 years old and got used Nokia E51 after my father.

As a phone collector, this video gives me joy

For someone who hates dankpods, you sure are watching him a lot on various devices

The Iphone screen might not be broken. As far as I know the screen is connected via a flat cable with a flimsy connector. This connector can loosen itself for example if the phone was dropped or shaken. It might be possible to reconnect the cable, but not at an Apple store because they will just try to sell you a new one.

Your snake is over there living its best life napping freely on a hammock, meanwhile I'm at work watching your videos

13:25 quote describes my thought when I was looking for a phone and I settled on this one plus 8.

Kid: Can we have Temple Run? Mom: No, we have Temple Run at home Temple run at home: 5:56

Man, that Opel one was literally just Android on a small screen with a T9 keyboard, way overkill lol

DankPods: “Don’t watch this channel, It’s terrible Me: *Watches video on this channel*

The screen brightness changing automatically is an android feature, it's just on by default for some reason.

Dank: "My phone broke. Gotta need a backup." Dank: **gets **-six-** five backup phones**

_Racing Attack_ "That's just called Traffic" killed me

also those phones that change their brightness randomly for some reason have the auto adjust brightness option turned on by default, it’s really annoying but thank god you can turn it off in settings

Fun fact: Opel is a car manufacturer AND a local business that fixes things lol

The backlight brightness changing is a setting dank, you can turn it off. It tries to change it according to the brightness of the room, it usually sucks.

When you said the iphone studders my phone freezes lol

The fidgety brightness is a modular brightness setting so that you don't go outside in half brightness and forget to turn it up it will turn itself up and it is easy to turn off in settings

Random tip: "MicroSD up to 32 GB" most often means it will work with bigger cards up to at least 128 GB and likely even larger, BUT only if you reformat them to FAT32 first. On Windows you need a 3rd party utility like Fat32formatter. It just means that it doesn't support exFAT and you'll just get error messages if you insert an exFAT formatted card.

"I don't know how I'm going to mount it into my rig." Zip ties and duct tape.

10:01 its called auto brightness it changes the brightnes automatically based on the light or darkness coming in through the camera you can turn that off or switch to manual mode in the notification bar or in the settings

Brightness, turning up and down is the Smart brightness control he does it, so it doesn’t harm your eyes

The screens dimming randomly is a universal android feature name of "Adaptive Brightness" which can be turned off from the pull down menu or settings. I have no idea why it's enabled by default, it's kinda doodoo. But hey at least it isn't some weird defect

Having lived off a Nokia nug for a good two years, my heart was thoroughly warmed to see that first brick. Only really used it for music but you can't escape the jank. The text messaging application can only send messages under 300 KILOBYTES so if you want to send a photo, you can't as the average size ranges from 400kbs to 1 meg. The base storage is 30 megs and once the 32 gig SD card has 3 gigs on it, the speed just tanks. When a song switches over, it takes a good half second to play so blended tracks are soiled. A little while back the charging port broke so I had to buy another and keep that one plugged into the outlet and switch over the batteries when my main was getting low. Needless to say, the iPhone 6 is quite the upgrade.

Congrats for 100K likes! Love you man

Amazed how much some of these cost, especially when decent cheap Oukitels exist

It's always seemed to be the case where buying an older top of the line smartphone is just better budget wise than a brand new budget smartphone lol

0:13 As a trombone player, that single note made me feel the player's entire mood.

6:23 Your wish came true! After... uh... 9 years... But still!

My sense of humor has deteriorated to the point where I laughed during the first Nokia camera showcase

"Why did that make that two words, I'm an idiot." - The man that runs the channel.

So much Frank this episode, therefore, one of the best episodes

That Nokia 1.4 looks almost IDENTICAL to a Moto e. The rounded camera area, the fingerprint sensor, the bezels, rounded screen, and notch even

the automatic change of the brightness is due to an "auto adjust brightness" toggle hidden somewhere in the settings it's one of the first things I disable is every android phone, really bad experience to have it enabled by default

I like that you started with iPods and now you’re basically Australian Ashens (except cooler because Ashens doesn’t have a snake)

This is why I have kept all my old phones...so I have not only the memories tied to something tangible, but also because they are each a solid representation for the way that the phones of the time were and comparatively how the tech changed in such short spans of time between each. From a flip from 2008 back to a 1g, screenless, telescioping antannae cell phone from roughly 1990. Yaaay.

The first smartphone i bought myself when i was 15 was an Elephone S8 and it was so good for the money. Under 200 bucks and it had a massive 2k screen, a 10 core CPU and a metal and glass chassis. Id happily still run one today

My first flip phone (soft bank) had antenna tv. That was awesome.

The thing with the brightness changing is a setting of android called like "adaptivity brightness' where it changes based on available light. It actually works ok on the flagships.

3:08 The 1 Grit faces its rival, their battle will be legendary.

The sound on the first phone wants you to call the landlord a say “ I got a water leak, can you hear it !!!”....lol

Destroying a Nokia with a Nokia is peak comedy

"I have to take it to apple" *Louis rossmann hated that*

1:57 Nokia really said: 🐉🐲🍣🍥⛩🈲🈹

The documentation of Frank in his natural habitat is very important for the future generations development

2 years ago my phone was an iPhone 5, and having it in my pocket bent the frame of the screen out of the metal frame. Now my phone is an iPhone 6S Plus, and it’s still pretty good

I just love the fact that he went into the phone store and bought a bunch of dinky budget phones instead of a decent mid-tier smartphone that probably would've cost less than all of these combined.
