I used a feature phone for several years, and held on to it for as long as possible. It was based on KaiOS (formerly FirefoxOS) and in fact, a neighbor of mine had a very similar phone that included an app store. Mine didn't, but still integrated with Google properties such as Mail and Calendar. Not very well.
It did include a web browser, and I could visit web pages using mobile data or WiFi. The browser was very limited but usable, with some zooming and panning available.
I appreciated the constraints and security of that sort of phone, but once I upgraded to a smartphone I was immediately addicted.
- toastal 3y agoThere’s been a Python issue tho where 2.x has been where a lot of apps are but is based on a 2016 version of Fx. A lot of services probably forgot that they supported KaiOS & when they heard 3.x, despite the upgrade process not being too bad, a lot of apps dropped out support for the platform. The 3.x devices are also much more difficult to root/mod which removes the cool hacker scene of 2.x or Linux/Android.
