Little 'Mikrophone-test-story' from my dad and me: We went trout fishing on a rainy september day when I was about 10. Did not have a Single nibble or catch for many hours until my dad finally reeled in one massive trout. He told me to give it a wash in the lake water, naturally the bugger slipped out of my clumsy hands. He jumped into the water without hesitation to get it back and forgot He had his brand new Nokia N93i swivel phone, his pride and Joy at the time, still in his pocket. Needless to say, the trout was gone and the phone was borked. We were both very sad that day but I look back at it fondly. This Video brought up the memory so thanks Wade! Much love from Germany

But then the fish slipped out of my hands, right, and me dad jumped into the lake to go and get it, but he had his brand new phone in his pocket, right? Well, uh, he didn't get the fish, and it broke the phone. So now we have no fish and no phone. Still don't have either, actually, I don't know how I'm talking to ya.
Your old nokia runs kai os, which was quite powerful - more apps, youtupe, at one point whatsapp etc. However the os kinda died and now nokia phones have a crappy os again.
This should be way higher. The old Nokia runs KaiOS 2.5 and 3 if memory serves me well. But it's been ages since I heard anything about KaiOS so for this 2660 HMD went back to Series30+ again.
Had a look online, the last KaiOS phone shipped by Nokia (now branding as parent company HMD) was the 2780 Flip from November 2022. Though that one had USB-C and a whopping 5MP main camera. The "new one" he has is from July 2022, so I guess it was a lower tier model or something.

Oh god, that new Nokia flip phone isn't running KaiOS. Neither is the old 3310 3G. It's running an even more basic system, S30+, which can handle basically nothing. No RUclips, no FaceBook, no nothing. Early versions of the 3310 3G at least had the ability to run J2ME applications, an old form of app that still works today, which really saved me back when I daily drove mine - but they got rid of that for reasons known only to god. It's actually worse than the original S30, which came out decades ago. Your current daily driver flip phone, on the other hand, DOES run KaiOS. They're a good middle ground between the crapware modern S30'+' and the Android/iOS bull. However, for some stupid reason, HMD-Nokia aren't selling the 'version' of this phone which runs KaiOS in Australia. The 2780 Flip is the one you want, but apparently, Australia only gets the 2660. The 2660 looks exactly the same as the 2780. It has the same buttons, the same colors, the same connectivity. But unlike the 2780, the 2660 runs S30'+', and probably has the same terrible interior as the 3310, or the 225 4G.
I hate Kaos.. I don't won't an constant online connection with such a phone... I use them for no spyware.. But I hate how they no longer have j2me.. I love many of the old Java games.. But they don't have 4g phones that support Java and 3g is being shutdown.. Plus they only allow Java games installed from online, not she SD card..
I mean when HMD first bought them and brought them back they were honestly pretty decent I had a couple of them, namely the Nokia 6, 7.1, and 9 Pureview The 6 was really good, all metal build and was durable as hell, 7.1 was pretty great too, the 9 Pureview was promising with it's really unique 5 camera setup but they abandoned it quickly and it became extremely buggy sadly Nokia went downhill quickly after 2019 quality wise Since then I gave up and switched to Google Pixel

Gotta love how you upload a flip nuggie vid right when my Cat S22 Flip arrived. And i think you misunderstood! That Nokia 2660 Flip isn't a replacement to the old one. In fact, it is the Nokia 2780 Flip which has a very similar design to this one, and better yet, updated KaiOS and USB-C. Problem is, idk if the 2780 Flip is officially sold in Australia and other regions. But i would say this is actually a step up
This reminded me of the vid where Wade got some cheap phones and was trying each one to see which one he would use for his work phone! Edit: Y’all I’m stupid, I commented first and then watched the vid because I wanted to be early and then forgot about this comment.
All of these "phones for old people" (cause that's what these are marketed as around here) are hilarious to me cause when my grandma asks me how to do a thing on one of these, I can't help her. Cause I don't know.
This!!! Got my mom the Jitterbug flip phone and it was so difficult for her, and for me to figure out and explain, that we got her a smartphone instead. The smartphone is still confusing, but a lot less so than the “old style” flip phone.
Ahahaha, it's funny to me he didn't realize it's press 5, by himself...... It's been like that on most dumbphones since the end of time..... And I know Dank knows, because we are same age, and they were heavily popular at the time....

Gotta love how you upload a flip nuggie vid right when my Cat S22 Flip arrived.
And i think you misunderstood! That Nokia 2660 Flip isn't a replacement to the old one. In fact, it is the Nokia 2780 Flip which has a very similar design to this one, and better yet, updated KaiOS and USB-C. Problem is, idk if the 2780 Flip is officially sold in Australia and other regions. But i would say this is actually a step up
This reminded me of the vid where Wade got some cheap phones and was trying each one to see which one he would use for his work phone!
Edit: Y’all I’m stupid, I commented first and then watched the vid because I wanted to be early and then forgot about this comment.
This it's the sequel
Gosh dang it I wonder why 😮
@@Paco8478Yeah you’re right, I haven’t watched the vid before commenting because I wanted to be early. Oops
Holy Jesus, Dank's T9 typing is insane.
1:05 It's green though, I like green! -DankPods 2024
I HAVE THAT PHONE RN 0:01
I always see them kids who be gettin grounded who gotta use flip phones and the 2660 is definitely the most common of them.
I agree yeah I've seen it a lot
I always love listening to this Aussie man yap about random stuff through shitty mics
0:01 tahate was the replasment For the work/Iphone that broke. That was a good vid
are you okay? your spelling is... off.
Okay provi rääkida kolme keelt
Oh wow, that opel phone's toaster mic must have been already thrown in a bathtub at some point.
"But honey, what about our dat-"
SHUSH, DANKPODS POSTED
All of these "phones for old people" (cause that's what these are marketed as around here) are hilarious to me cause when my grandma asks me how to do a thing on one of these, I can't help her. Cause I don't know.
This!!! Got my mom the Jitterbug flip phone and it was so difficult for her, and for me to figure out and explain, that we got her a smartphone instead. The smartphone is still confusing, but a lot less so than the “old style” flip phone.
Uggo is my favorite australianism. Makes me giggle every time
1:40 i think that's when you stabbed the box with a knife you dingus
idk it's a different orientation
Damn the fact that even in the flip phone world, the biggest companies make the worst crap
1:30 get with the times dingus! He yells as he unboxes his new flip phone
Cat S22 Flip, you must experience this chonkiest of nuggs. it even has USB-C!
I own one and love it so much. Got it after I broke three phones in a row 😂
@@theussmirage I love answering any phone related conversation with "My phone can beat up your phone"
How does our product compete with the s22 should be bullet #1 for dumbphones.
105 decibels is deafeningly loud. That’s like going to a concert without hearing protection.
Opel is something I'd sooner expect to see on Garbage Time XD
Only slightly more functional than the car
Wow.
They couldn't even give you the bloatware on that phone for free, what kind of world do we live in.
So glad Dank finally got himself a good phone. You finally got there, buddy! Proudda you! 🥰
8:25 anyone else see the dead pixel on the phone screen on the bottom right…?!? 🤣
9:13 DRUNK!?
"Nokia has done it. They've given you something that doesn't exist." This line destroyed me.
0:23 that phone vs 1 grit!! Love your content mate
That is the most beautiful video recording sound I've heard of all the nuggs, couldn't stop laughing at it
The frank master hath returned to shout at electronic devices
Good to see Frank's doing well. 😊
1:23 Ebay GSP be like:
Proot !

Mom the Aussie guy is screaming at dinguses again
Dank "this is my daily driver work phone"
Also Dank "i don't know how to type"
Dank is showing his age by how fast he's able to type of those phones
The Enmbor-kening
I'm watching this on a power outage. This brings me a smile on these boring times :)
Have a look at the Japanese flip phone market, they have some great nugs.
When 2018 is considered old. I feel old.
WAAADE, where can we see you playing some jazz? Not the garbage stream or the drum thing, just some standards and what not?
Lock him up in your basement and force him to play for you
@@itsjustchloe9635 I did that it worked perfectly
@@itsjustchloe9635 🤤
Ahahaha, it's funny to me he didn't realize it's press 5, by himself...... It's been like that on most dumbphones since the end of time.....
And I know Dank knows, because we are same age, and they were heavily popular at the time....
Fold phones are reverse evolution in a modern way
u r dumb
Definitely find a couple more copies of the old dumbphone for parts
Wade: hates android bloat
It's smasnug's fault
Wade should get a Google pixel
Those "two pathetic brass pins" are "pogo" charging.... responsible for almost ever first responders phone/radio ever... cops, firemen, ambulance drivers...
6:22 mate the keypad on that is for my 80 year old gma
Ah, yes. The pain of attempting to open a Dumb Phone. Any time a customer asks me to open one, I sigh loudly and prepare myself to sacrifice my nails. The clips are, surprisingly, sturdy.
Also, Opel seems to be the Australian version of the Scandinavian Doro brand.
Australian man screams at flipphones
Bro that newer flip phone looked SOLID until the predictive text. Holy shit fuck 🎉
"Get with the times!" screams the man upgrading his dumb phone to another dumb phone.
Oh yeah even these kinds of Phones are getting worse, i work in a store that sells these and we often take them back because elderly people can't even figure these out as opposed to their old nokia phones lol
Damn... USB-C AND HEADPHONE JACK?!
This thing's better than all of Apple!
iPhone 15’s have USB-C
The enshittenment is so real!
