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

14:04 > "That touchscreen really makes it work, so much better" > Opens camera app > Crashes instantly

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

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

"Racing Attack; that's just called traffic." - DankPods 2021

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

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

I like how he bought 5 phones just to keep one

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

"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

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!"

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

KaiOS is so good for the phones it runs on

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!

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.

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

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...)

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

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.

"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, 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.

Better quality on a literal rock

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

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

"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

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

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.

"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.

As a phone collector, this video gives me joy

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

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

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

I’ve literally watched every single video of his on that EXACT iPhone model. Right down to the Color!

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

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.

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.

Found his channel today love it!

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

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

I love listening to your videos with my ATH-M50's plugged directly into my shitass smartphone

Congrats for 100K likes! Love you man

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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. :(

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

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

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

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

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.

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

I held off on updating from my iPhone 6 for the longest time because it was still really good even as a hand-me-down from a relative. The headphone jack was great, I will always miss it

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

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.

The Nokia brick smashing the newer Nokia made me laugh harder than it should

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

Oh god, I used to have a flip phone like the one at 4:35. Yes, it did run KZfaq, and someone even filmed me on SnapChat, while I was browsing KZfaq on my flip phone. I did not enjoy high school.

When you a European guy "Wait Opel makes phones but it's aussie so why they didn't call it Holden"

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.

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

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

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

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

Siberian Strike reminds me of that old PlayStation 2 game by Phoenix Games called Search & Destroy from 2006.

I have a 2720 Flip which I use whenever I want a break from social media or going on a big night out so I enjoy the moment more.

DankPods: Look, a terrible channel! Me: *I snap my fingers* That's where you're wrong, kiddo!

Just as good as always dank you never fail to make me laugh

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

I love how every other video on this channel just turns unto him instinctively talking like he's trying to sell us stuff haha

"I believe this is just a skin of android" *Developers of KaiOS crying in the background*

"You can just slam dunk it in there" **Thats the move that made Lebron Cry**
