This "dumb" phone has an entire main-CPU OS, a web browser (!), and then another entire OS on the modem chip (which, of course, runs code which you have absolutely no influence over).
I miss dumbphones.
- Jaruzel 5y agoIt's entirely possible to build a 'dumbphone' with a nano sized linux SBC(like a Pi zero) and a 4G add-on board. You'd really have to want to do this though, but it would be a good learning project.
