Via Buttons & Knobs — Justine Haupt’s Rotary Cell Phone which you can...
The Rotary Un-Smartphone is a followup to this personal project. It's a production-ready ground-up design with all new parts (yes, the rotary dial too) and many neat bells and whistles.
- Pocket-sized (11.0cm x 7.5cm x 3.0cm)
- Light-weight (163g [6oz])
- Full LTE connectivity. Obsolescence-proof for at least another decade.
- Access and call your personal contacts perhapsfaster than with a smartphone
- Use your own SIM card with your favorite carrier's "Bring Your Own Device" option
- Real (mechanical) ringer bell made gold or silver-coated brass; externally visible
- Receive basic SMS messages and send pre-typed messages and numeric strings
- 2 displays: Front-side OLED for caller-ID and dial entry, and back-side ePaper for contacts display
- Physical disconnect switch for the microphone
- Mechanical power switch
- MicroSD card stores contacts list as a text file
- TRRS headset jack
- USB-C charging port
- Incandescent-like indicator LEDs
