This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
