Very much still in progress (As you might be able to see :) ). My goal is to make a Nokia phone as if it is made in 2025 (or 202X kinda running out of time there and im not even sure how long it will take me) With USB-C, 4G (5G is not planned for reasons), 1TB+ of expandable Storage. I have already sent my first SMS/Call (a call without a mic or speaker to be precise…)

Phones just do too much these days. And I don’t get the feeling they respect my time nor privacy. They are also pretty boring as they all look the same. On top of that the current landscape of “dumb phones” consist of expensive phones you could hang in a art gallery, ugly phones with big ass buttons for seniors or inefficient un-optimized phones running android. I wanna change that.

      Thanks, wait till you see the backside though 😬

      I did not solder since I have first learned it in school so my first ones were really bad and i don’t even know how some on the backside are even connected.

      Which is why im thinking about redoing it, especially cause im running out of space. So maybe it can also be good to stay on the breadboard for a little while :)

      I did move on to a prototypeboard also just to be able to hold something in your hands, it is really motivating going forward.
