blog recently updated to be mobile friendly!! still best enjoyed on desktop :)
helloooo and welcome to my blog!!! pls excuse my over the top layout,, ive got a thing for it. it should look more exciting really for the amount of work i put into it but i love the beige n white n green colour scheme (which real ones who have seen my profile know already LMAOO) so its white bg black text. wgaf really
anyways.....................
a couple weeks back i bought a nokia e71 off of ebay for Β£20 and its officially become the loml <3 its in really good shape for what i paid and works exactly as i hoped it would!! i thought there's no better community than this to show it off in,, so here it is :D
my photos are a bit shit but if you came here thinking im taking ultra high quality photos on a really fancy camera or smartphone or smth then i think ur in the wrong place or at least need to seriously re-evaluate. all taken on my polaroid iG127 digital camera which you can see in reflections throughout these photos
the front and back!!! just realised that you can see the ghost of alison by slowdive on the front LMAOO ig i didnt wait for the screen to fully turn off before i took the pic bless. i put a couple of stickers on the back n theyre quite cute actually,, i wasnt sure at first but i like them
oh and for anyone curious about the charms:
from etsy c: the stars glow in the dark its super cool
1. powering on,, makes the little sound if its not on silent (its always on silent lol)
2. all about lily chou-chou welcome screen ofcofc
3. home screen!! you can set it to either have apps on it or the simple vers,, i went for the simple. the wallpaperis an image off pinterest because i cba to move over another one + it looks cool so wgaf
1. the menu screen - all of these are folders apart from web. can make powerpoints n shit on it which is crazy because they always glitch the fuck out on modern smartphones so you know. regressing n all that idk
2. the web browser cant do https websites only http which is fairly limiting in todays internet. google still lets me use it w just http tho and it looks so cute on there i almost forgor to be mad at google. anyways,, theres one extremely helpful http website because that page let me download...
3. opera mini!!! was able to install this as an alternative web browser,, letting me open https webistes. well the ones that dont hit me w the "sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyy your broswer is unsupported :((((((((". and that means on it i can access everyone's fav website....
SPACEHEY.COM!!!!!! posted a few bulletins n comments from here LOLL its so fun. i have to enter fullscreen typing mode for caps which is odd but not too inconvenient
the most important part of any phone is of course the music n i got an sd card for this bad boy specifically for mp3s πππ i have 103 songs on there rn but always growing my collection. im a repeater anyways so i only need about 3 songs at any one time LMAO (airbuds mutuals can vouch)
souvlaki - slowdive is the album i put on most recently,,, and disintegration - the cure was the one i put on first <3 i downloaded both off of internet archive. have you guys seen the amount of podcasts by fundamentalists of the abrahamic faiths on that website its incredible. sorry that was so off topic
****disclaimer before this part,, i am in no way an expert so take everything i say here w a massive pinch of salt*****
i love looking at the progression of cell phones in particular when looking at how technology avaliable to consumers has developed in recent history because i think they are so personal, designed to be carried with you, a small handheld tool. the way they have simultaneously progressed and regressed. the experimental models released in all kinds of fabulous shapes and sizes 15-20 years ago vs the monotony of smartphones now. their increasing signifcance in our lives, whether you like it or not. a microcosm for the relationship between people and computers that i find soso fascinating
ive wanted a member of the nokia e-series family for a while. i still really want an e61 because i think they look beautiful,, but this one is probably more practical so its for the best i got hold of this one first. i think quite a few members of the e-series range represent peak mobile phone production for me - smart enough to do what i need, with all the external features i want that are absent from modern phones e.g. sd card, headphone jack, physical qwerty keyboard.
i may have to use a different phone as my edc soon through because the last network in the uk (where i live, thats why its relevant) still running 3G is "switching it off" in early 2025. perhaps it will run okay on 2G, maybe not, i will find out. either way i will enjoy these few months with this phone while i still have 3G!! im trying to get hold of a blackberry q10 as a just-in-case,, if you have any other reccomendations of 4G candybar phones please feel free to share them
thank you for readinggg!!!! have a great day c:

Been wanting to upgrade to one of these bad boys for the longest time- I already saw it does internet, but can it handle 5G? Having a lot of issues with carriers dropping 3g/4g phones, caused the death of my last ones- don't even want the speed or anything, don't even have 5g here, just have to deal with verizon primadonna
ah no itβs only 2G and 3G,,, im looking for another similar candy bar type phone with 4G/5G but theyβre so hard to come by (as you seem to know too well
)

this is so awesome!! i've been wanting a non-smart phone for so long but the bandwidth thing concerns me as well :p that and not being able to get news about stuff regarding school because they don't use emails anymore for some reason
also you're so right about modern phones looking so boring and lacking personality, they're all just one big slim block now, quite literally no difference in designs between brands nowadays
yes omg why does the bandwidth issue have to be so difficult
i keep the smartphone i was using before in a cupboard and check it a couple times a week for the apps that i ned but canβt put on this phone,, maybe you could do the same?? just another example of how hard it is to exist without these things in our day and age rip

i miss when everyone have phones of different shapes and sizes its like every phone is designed specially for one and each person and yeah youre right nowadays' phones are monotonous and look about as square and empty as the next model coming out in the future and the phone color variety marketing isnt working anymore (except chronic consumers)
i cant pretend to remember a time with more phone variety properly as i was too young but i still manage to miss it fr
the colours high end phones come out with are embarrassing atp like those arenβt real colours theyβre so pale
by woodlouse; ; Report
exactly!!! everything is so corporate now even their attempts at providing personalized choices for consumers are just dull

aahh yes yes!!! i miss when everyone was different and unique in their own way an style!!! i feels like everyone is trying so hard to be like everyone else. all phones are the same, clothes are the same, etc etc. why does everyone want to be clones :<

amazing layout and phone!!! i remember using it with my paramore albums in aac files, its a better format than mp3, takes up less space for the same quality of audio.

um.. badass? i love this style and i love your commentary on current smartphones. they're monotonous and the last time they got interesting to me was with the foldable ones... a funny callback to actual flip phones.

Definitely one of my favorite Nokia phones. I'm a sucker for the BlackBerry phone format. As for the 3G shenanigans, I think your phone will work fine on 2G! I use a Motorola MPx200 on my country's 2G network, because 3G is gone here already, and it works fine! And I believe the UK is still heavily-reliant on their 2G networks, so I think you'll be good for a few more years. :]
ah yay thats reassuring thank youu!! yeah i think we're good till around 2033 for 2G luckily
