Alternative/descriptive title?
I decided to mangle a Samsung Flip into a custom made Blackberry all the while, not going bald somehow.
Lad has tenacity I'll give them that.
I built my own Phone... because innovation is sad rn

I think my favorite quote from the video is "You don't have to make a product that fits everyone for it to be a good product".

I liked their inflection via video editing with their suffering

Made me chuckle.

Very neat. Though I wish this kind of thing would be possible to do with open source components.

No but how feasible would it be to do it with like a pi5, a 3d printer, a USB modem, and a lot of pain?

You could do it but it would be enormous. Pi5 draws 10 watts when not idle.

I miss 2000's era Nokia. They had their flagship phones that turned a profit but also just did some truly weird shit purely to see if it caught on.

This is awesome. I would pay for something like this...

very good video, although tbh I'd rather have a slab phone.

Reminds me of the ancient Motorola Cube. I had one and loved the little thing.

What a cool design!

It’s a pity that the industry doesn’t take more risks.

They used to but they never paid off. LG was a huge pioneer in the hardware space and look where that got them.

I agree with the sentiment here; I wish more companies took design risks.
I would LOVE to get my hands on a Huawei Pura X, but I doubt it will be available outside China, software concerns aside.

Would be neat if they could figure out a way to move the cameras to the other side the next time they make a phone.
