- laurensr 5y agoVery nice. They even have phones with a keyboard. I assumed only BlackBerry had this.
- igetspam 5y agoAnd android 11! Feels like a winner to me. Crazy that it's $300 (assuming we're both talking about the Titan Pocket). Feels like a potential winner to me.
- donio 5y agoThe Titan Pocket is pretty great, just make sure you understand how small the screen is compared to what you may be used to. It works well enough for many use cases but it's basically unusable for most modern games. Which can be a worthwhile trade-off depending on what you are looking for.
- cstross 5y agoThey're not the best keyboard-phones, though: for that, you probably need to look at Planet Computers' Cosmo Communicator, and the forthcoming-end-of-the-year Astro Slide: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/astro-slide-5g-transformer/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/astro-slide-5g-transforme...
- donio 5y agoDepends on what you are looking for. Sliders are nice in that they have larger keyboards and screens but the downside is that you have to slide out the keyboard in order to use it. Candybar keyboards are always on hand. If you prefer the candybar form factor then the Unihertz Titan and Titan Pocket are currently the best options.
- znpy 5y agoI might just pull the trigger and get a titan pocket.
- tazjin 5y agoMy phone is a Unihertz Atom L, I've had it for a few months now. It's a good phone. Not the lightest, but the screen is a comfortable size and it has the most important feature of a phone for me - a headphone jack.
- yosito 5y agoI've had a Jelly 2 for 6 months. Loving it!
- aidenn0 5y agoMe as well. Never even heard of it until someone mentioned it to me in an HN comment
- cduzz 5y agoI used the first gen jelly pro for about a year and a half; it was a pretty decent phone with terrible battery life. It worked fine and did everything I needed it to do, other than stay powered all day. How's the second gen battery wise? Also did they put android 11/12 on it, and have they released the stuff necessary to have lineage support them? When my pixel 4a breaks, I'd be tempted to switch back to a reasonably sized phone.
- yosito 5y agoI charge the battery every third day. Granted I don't spend a lot of time using it, and I keep the battery saver mode on. LineageOS works fine for me. I think I'm on Android 10, but maybe 11.
- bmj 5y agoThe Jelly was my son's first smartphone, much to his chagrin (imagine being a 15 year old pulling that thing out when your friends had iPhone Xs or whatever massive Samsung phones were on the market at the time). I've been using an old iPhone SE because I love that form factor. The Unihertz Titan is very tempting, though, particularly given the hardware keyboard.
- jareklupinski 5y agoi wish apple would have just left the original SE alone, or made it like 'the classic' model if they let the outside design stay the same but just bumping the internals (and weatherproofing, water killed my original SE), i would literally buy that every year just to support that kind of business
