@matt If you found the MP01 buggy… you will be dissapointed in the MP02. The predictive text is a fucking nightmare. I logged a bunch of bugs to them but I don not think they go me at all. It would be unusuable for Signal/Pigeon I reckon because of how hard it was to type.

Also the sound quality on my unit was attrocious (maybe I just have a hardware fault 🤷)

But at that point I was left thinking… why?

@matt I mean the phone is supposed to be about call and messaging and it was terrible at both.

@matt Oh and don't buy any phone running KaiOS. I have 3 of them. Yeah you get WhatsApp but again their are unusable because their slowness fucks up the typing. Key presses are not registered or are registered a bajillion times.

So unless you do dictation via Google, which ruins much of the privacy point, you are in a land of pain typing.

@matt The 4G S30+ phones are ok for typing IMHO but with every new version they dumb the UI down further to the point it is getting annoying now.

I have two "Nokia 225 4G" (well one is mine, the other is one of my kids phones).

The older one is workable. The newer one is kind of annoying for various reasons.

@matt If they did a Nokia 3310 with the UI of the 2G reissue, I would buy that
