I have a Nokia 8110 phone with KaiOS installed. It works fine as a phone, lasts 4 days per charging, but keypad input is still a pain. The best use of such phone would be with AI assistant. For example, you pick up the phone, press a button and speak, then the screen shows the information or it sends out a message, etc. In another word, it could be a portable smart speakers with screen, minimizing keypad input.
- thekyle 8y agoI really don't understand why these new feature phones don't take better advantage of modern voice transcription technology to make those old clunky dialer keyboards obsolete.
- zoom6628 7y agoActually that is one of the key features of the Xiaomi Qin 1s i mentioned earlier. It has built in client AI feature for simul-tran of 19 languages. Lots of other accessibility features like screen reader, voice input etc, so one doesnt have to refresh T9 input memory. Although as other posteers have pointed out T9 isnt so bad. I have found that T9 input is remarkably more accurate in word choice than Swiftkey swipe action on everyphone on which i have used it. Slower to enter (guess about 30% for me) but more accurate.
- ljf 7y agoAssuming it has T9 input? I found an old Nokia 8250 and was shocked by how quickly I remembered how to type on T9 and how quickly I could type - and because of the physical nature of the keys I was able to type without looking at all.
- porsager 7y agoI've actually found that it's equally possible to type without looking when using T9 on an iPhone after i made and now use https://typenineapp.com https://typenineapp.com Simply having larger buttons and the phones frame as a reference point seems to be enough.
