Not gonna lie, it was. lol. That's one of several reasons I decided to keep it as my daily driver. It's technically a smart phone, though, I just had all the smart stuff disabled for that challenge. I've since enabled those back, but it still looks enough like a dumb phone that I can convincingly bluff with it.

Which phone is it? Might have to check it out.

Cat S22 Flip. Not without it's quirks, but I like it well enough. Had to digital detox, and it was great for that.

What apps do you have on it? Maybe some stuff like email or messaging app like Signal?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thunderbird beta (email), Schildichat (Matrix), bank app, several local web apps (home assistant, etc), Mucke (music), key mapper, Aegis (totp authenticator), Organic Maps, Etar (Calendar), DAVx (contact/calendar sync), traditional T9 (keyboard), MALP and Snapcast (home audio)

Damn that's actually a good chunk

Lol, yeah. Covers pretty much all of my needs and most of my "wants". Even have a Lemmy app (web based) on there.
