Companies continually miss the mark when it comes to neo-dumbphones -- folks that want a dumbphone badly enough to seek one out, and I count myself in this category, want one that is small, very durable, foolproof, and inexpensive.
These features were all common on old dumbphones like the previously-mentioned Nokia and some Motorolas [or Jitterbugs]. Whenever a 'hip' dumbphone is released, such as this one or the regrettably-named 'Punkt,' they look cool but fail miserably in two or more of those criteria.
- asherism 8y agoWhat's wrong with the name 'Punkt'? I quite like it.
- MisterOctober 8y agoDifferent strokes for different folks -- I find it pretty patronizing ["Hey hip kids! Dig our slang!"] but recognize that tastes very widely.
