    This is just judgemental and stupid. If you are easily distracted not using a smartphone outside business hours is hugely beneficial.

    I use a lumia 550, but REALLY I would prefer an old school phone like the w800i, but a good k750/w800/k800 is rare and expensive at this point and pretty likely to fail. (I have 2g here). So the lumia it is.

        I always thought the w880 was very much over the tipping point of se phones turning into expensive disappointments, but it doesn’t matter, because at least I wont be raising the prices of used 880 :D

      wait, the Lumia 550 was windows phone. Are you still rocking that? i guess by now it’s just a phone and text machine?

      I miss my 920 and 1520 :`(

        I mean this depends on your viewpoint. Yes it is my off-hours daily. (I have to have a smartphone when working)

        It can:

        • Call and text Edit: this IS a 4g device, and has support for VoLTE, so it has modern call quality. Most feature phones you can buy suck as phones.
        • Play a bunch of games
        • Has a pretty good MP3 player (also can connect to modern bluetooth devices (!!!))
        • Has a camera of completely reasonable quality
        • It can display pictures, play videos, view all sorts of documents. (Ebooks .docs, xlsx-es, ppt-s)
        • Even the maps work (although who knows for how long)
        • Has microSD XC support

        So it basically does what my w800i does, but in a way newer phone. In my view it does everything a modern device does, except for all the doomscrolly bits.

        So yeah, if you need a weekend phone, picking up a lumia makes a whole lot of sense in my view.
