Neocorporation comments on Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

[–] Neocorporation@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago* (9 children)

Listen man, if the phone doesn't have a 3.5mm jack, IR Blaster, FM radio receiver, pop out rotating 6mp camera, micro SD slots, 2g compatibility, Native flash support and a physical keyboard that pops out like the fucking matrix, then it's a complete piece of corporate shit and you're a complete neo liberal bum bandit if you think otherwise...

I mean you're obviously being sarcastic.

but why cant phones have a radio receiver? That would be super useful, and something I'd use often.

Well, bluetooth, wifi and cellular are radios, so my guess is it depends on what frequencies you wanna cover and how much extra you are willing to sacrifices in price & space.

Some phones do have built in radio receivers. If that's genuinely a feature you want, they're available.

I'm not sayin it doesnt exist, to be clear, but the only phones I've ever seen that had built in radios were, like, asian market phones. Nothing that'd work on my area.

That's fair. There are some available in other markets but they're definitely fewer and further between.

Space Trader

Uuuh, space trader, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. I played it on my Palm Zire back in the day.

don't forget the nipple blasters, bidet, shower squeegee, AM radio, FM radio, CB radio, xray, zray, and replicator.

Okay but I sure miss having a phone with an IR blaster. Was quite fun to sit in the corner of an empty restaurant and change the channel on the TVs that show the menu back when I was a drunk gremlin

Do you have phone recommendations? I like your list.
