The No BS Phone

1•morpheos137•1mo ago
The NO BS Phone

Someone please make it

4G LTE capable Long battery life Camera All persistent storage to SD card Ruggedized Simple modern fully capable web browser based user interface Calculator GPS SMS/MMS Ruggedized Text notepad Calendar email client No APS Terminal/ssh client

I hate Android -example: why does Android have half a dozen+ volume controls.

I want something if I want to hear my phone I turn it UP. If I don't I turn it down or mute it.

I don't want to be locked into a vendor like apple or Google. I don't want to have to purchase a separate case or screen protector.

I don't want to eat up a bunch of bandwidth phoning home to Google as it monitors my every move to send me irrelevant adds for things I will never buy.

I don't want to have to charge my phone every 4 hours.

I don't want to have to turn off stupid Google defaults like screen blanking after 30 seconds of inactivity while I am reading an article. If I want to turn off or lock my screen let me decide when to do it.

I don't need my finger tips vibrated every letter I type because haptic feedback is default.

I don't need to be harassed to update my software or be notified of bs features when I start a new phone.

It goes on and on. Just give me a reliable, unobtrusive, tool I can use for years without all the BS.

I don't need don't disturb to turn in accidentally and miss calls when I can simply turn the volume down without wading through a volume menu to do so.

The difficulty is that the app marketplace is monopolized by Apple and Google.
