The Punkt MP02 is a feature/dumbphone that natively support Signal through its Pigeon client. Let's take a look at this minimal phone and who it may be for, what it's like to use, and most importantly: how Signal works to offer you a private and secure experience unlike most other smartphones.

You'd think that a candybar Android phone with -a lowend chip from last year plus 2GB RAM, -one 5MP rear cam specifically for stuff like QR/Bar codes, -a decent Nokia style keyboard PLUS a 400x400 pixel or something touchscreen of around 2.5 inches, -bluetooth for music and NFC for payments -the option to choose between a minimal and a vanilla launcher and -the occational security patch should be possible for 150 bucks or so. It would do basically everything a smartphone does minus being good for watching videos or social media doom scrolling. But it's at least possible if necessary. Now, waterproof it for 50 bucks more and it would be a banger work phone for any kind of industry, farming or trades as well as outdoor enthusiasts.

I'm hopeful that we see more innovation in these modern dumb phones. One form-factor I'd be really interested in seeing is a dual-screen slab phone, where you have a reflective e-ink top screen for displaying distraction-free content, and a monochrome OLED touch screen on the bottom that serves as the primary input mechanism. I feel like this would strike the best balance between a phone minimizes distractions at the hardware, but is still just as capable at performing the "necessary" functions of a phone.

I would totally buy one of these if I could afford it. The Signal thing doesn't matter to me because I don't even know anyone who uses Signal. I just want a "dumb phone" that actually will work on modern mobile networks, and isn't some cheap junk from China. It's also a nice bonus that the Punkt provides wifi tethering, which is something you didn't mention in the video but I think is a major selling point. The idea is that if you want to go on the Internet you can, but it's a deliberate act which you sit down and engage in, not something just sending you notifications in your pocket 24/7. Personally I can't really justify paying that much right now, but I don't think the price is unfair at all, I'm sure it costs a ton to manufacture a phone with a completely custom design on such a small scale using high quality parts.

QR Codes are a complete waste of time. Ordering in a resteraunts that have QR code table menus is slower than ordering at the counter. It would be so easy to put a code you could type in at the bottom of the QR code that would accomplish the same thing if you did not have a camera, but the QR code is to force you to have an internet capable device you carry around with you so you are constantly tracked and traced.

I watched this again and marvel at the lack of understanding involved in assuming making a desktop client for Pidgeon is hard. Any first year undergraduate could write a blog, and that is all Pidgeon really is with some security on top, and the security is only complex at a VERY low level where you get into the cryptography of the thing, and even that is honors degree level math that is not beyond any pure maths graduate. Admittedly that is a high bar, but no one gets their hands that dirty these days, you don't need to. That is all done by routines you call that are available in practically every language, python, perl, php, C, C++. And all o this is superflous anyway, people give all their data away freely to google, facebook, youtube, shadywebsite inc, any web driven platform that asks for it. For the amount of hassle that security causes us, we would be better off (and live a lot longer) just transmitting all our messages on an unencrypted device accross an unencrypted network.

Smaller production runs cost more per unit, which is probably a significant part of the cost. The lack of a camera, however, is a significant failing, given that dumb phones in general had them for... quite some time, prior to smart phones being a thing (even if they could often only send the images to other similarly capable phones via what amounted to an oversized text message, though I think the later ones had sensible ways to transfer them to your PC), so it's not like it's not at least a mostly solved problem.

@techlore 11 ай бұрын

While I definitely agree with the overall sentiment and this is *currently* the case. I feel the end-goal of both of these devices is drastically different. Linux phones seem to have the goal of eventually being competitive to the average smartphone. As of today they fall so short that they're comparable to the Punkt :P But as Linux phones develop I imagine there will be fewer and fewer similarities between the two. Just my 2c. I think these intentionally minimal devices will be here to stay as an alternative to the smartphone. They prioritize focus.

I don't know why without QR, you can't use it. QR is nothing but a machine-friendly way to transfer a small bytes of data. If it has no camera, there could be various other ways to acquire the same data. For example, the sender (the one that is showing the QR code) can simply encode the data in Morse code and play it through its speaker. Punkt can record the sound and decode it back to the original bytes.

touchscreens arent that bad for phones (I threw up a little just typing that). On screen keyboards with swipe are miles better than the old days of hitting a button multiple times. I just wish there were more that supported a minimal OS and more older smartphone style hardware in between this and a new phone. For any manufactures listening, I'd like a small screen (4.5" diagonal would be fine), thickness should be bellow 20mm but striving for thin is bad, some sort of rear facing camera, a 3.5mm jack, a removable SD card, a removable battery, and possibly user-upgradable modem like the liberty phone. GPS for navigation is a nice to have I suppose. Apps should be as minimal as possible, a calculator, an end to end messaging client, email, web browser, and possibly an authenticator. No google services at all, no phoning home usage statistics, just insert sim card and have fun.

Yeah I was thinking 150 would be the maximum price and even that is a boutique price for a premium dumb phone. It's pretty ridiculous what kind of phone you can get from Android for $300 these days. You can even find Pixel 7 pros for 350 on the resale market and I recognize those are not privacy focused devices but you can use custom ROMs with most models

I bought 2 Pixel 6a phones off swappa in Mint condition for roughly $200 - $220(because of shipping and tax) each. $300 for a dumb phone is just dumb.
