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

And he gave it to me and told me to go wash it in the lake, hey? 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.

Looking into who ENMBOR is is a wild rabbit hole. They're apparently a semiconductor company known as Shenzhen Enbo Technology which makes a lot of cheap low grade components, and it keeps rebranding. Apparently those unlabeled SD cards are made by them.
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.
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.
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..
Have you considered a Sony android? The Xperia 1 and 5 both have gorgeous cameras, headphone jacks, SD slots, and other stuff too. My Xperia 5 IV is probably my favourite "standard" smartphone I've ever owned. (Favourite of all time was my Motorola Droid 4)
Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten an Xperia since they have both great cameras, headphone jack (with DAC) and don't have bloatware, plus there's no notch on the screen, it would probably be a perfect phone for him.
@@doabarrellroll69but it’s still a smartphone so it still has the same problems that modern smartphone face, though he would give Sony a boost and it is compatible with Sony Alpha cameras as a second screen (which he does have an A7SIII).
I'm so mad I have to switch from my nice Sony Xperia to a damn Pixel due to security concerns. >_> GrapheneOS is only on pretty much one fucking smartphone line though.
Few weeks ago i found my old nokia 2700 sadly battery turned in to pillow but still working after charging. Last time i use that phone it was 2011 more than decade ago. Amazing feeling i have to say using old phone tactile old school feeling. You can pick or drop calls in your pocket without looking at screen
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
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.

That is the most beautiful video recording sound I've heard of all the nuggs, couldn't stop laughing at it
Been planning on getting a “escaping the dystopia of smartphones.” This review helps. Thanks Dankpods!
Looking into who ENMBOR is is a wild rabbit hole. They're apparently a semiconductor company known as Shenzhen Enbo Technology which makes a lot of cheap low grade components, and it keeps rebranding. Apparently those unlabeled SD cards are made by them.
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
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.
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
Mom the Aussie guy is screaming at dinguses again
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'm watching this on a power outage. This brings me a smile on these boring times :)
So glad Dank finally got himself a good phone. You finally got there, buddy! Proudda you! 🥰
I always love listening to this Aussie man yap about random stuff through shitty mics
I was really hoping to hear the full 105db power of the ringtone
The fact that HMD got called out by DankPods tells you enough about them lol
Uggo is my favorite australianism. Makes me giggle every time
Idk why but when he opened the Aussie phone I burst out laughing 😂
Opel is something I'd sooner expect to see on Garbage Time XD
Only slightly more functional than the car
“Get with the times!” He yelled at the flip phone.

3:09 CRAZY EGGS MAKE A RETURN WOOOOOO
[CRAZY EGGS MOMENT!]
WE WILL DO CRAZY WITH EGGS WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dank "this is my daily driver work phone"
Also Dank "i don't know how to type"
Oh no, the fact that you have to break your fingernails to get to the battery is not a flaw of old-style phones, it's a feature
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
105 decibels is deafeningly loud. That’s like going to a concert without hearing protection.
1:05 It's green though, I like green! -DankPods 2024
5:10 The opel flip phone box has location spelled "locaiton" on the SOS feature's text☠☠☠
Damn the fact that even in the flip phone world, the biggest companies make the worst crap
Mate... you are a delight. How have I never seen you before.. subscribed immediately. 👏👏👏
0:23 that phone vs 1 grit!! Love your content mate
when he flipped open the opel i genuinely snorted, what a beaut
The frank master hath returned to shout at electronic devices
Wow.
They couldn't even give you the bloatware on that phone for free, what kind of world do we live in.
"Get with the times!" screams the man upgrading his dumb phone to another dumb phone.
I HAVE THAT PHONE RN 0:01
9:13 DRUNK!?
Holy Jesus, Dank's T9 typing is insane.
Have you considered a Sony android? The Xperia 1 and 5 both have gorgeous cameras, headphone jacks, SD slots, and other stuff too. My Xperia 5 IV is probably my favourite "standard" smartphone I've ever owned. (Favourite of all time was my Motorola Droid 4)
Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten an Xperia since they have both great cameras, headphone jack (with DAC) and don't have bloatware, plus there's no notch on the screen, it would probably be a perfect phone for him.
@@doabarrellroll69but it’s still a smartphone so it still has the same problems that modern smartphone face, though he would give Sony a boost and it is compatible with Sony Alpha cameras as a second screen (which he does have an A7SIII).
I'm so mad I have to switch from my nice Sony Xperia to a damn Pixel due to security concerns. >_> GrapheneOS is only on pretty much one fucking smartphone line though.
Few weeks ago i found my old nokia 2700 sadly battery turned in to pillow but still working after charging. Last time i use that phone it was 2011 more than decade ago. Amazing feeling i have to say using old phone tactile old school feeling. You can pick or drop calls in your pocket without looking at screen
Fold phones are reverse evolution in a modern way
u r dumb
really creative from the makers of phones etc. to go in a different direction in development 😂😂
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
60fps, this guy has got to have some seruous storage. love it thanks man
1:30 get with the times dingus! He yells as he unboxes his new flip phone
Mmmmhhh Opel makes Phones now…
(Sitting in an Opel car while writing this)
Australian man screams at flipphones
The title gave the best description ever! Keep up the good work!
I love retro phones!
Dank is showing his age by how fast he's able to type of those phones
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.
Dude. Caterpillar phones. Yes, the ones that make the big yellow dump trucks. F**KING AMAZING 😍
Have a look at the Japanese flip phone market, they have some great nugs.
Hey wade, just wanna say your videos never fail to make me laugh and you've got great humour
