If you don't mind me asking, do you get any mileage out of the Rabbit R1?
Only picked it up a few days ago.
I went the dumb phone route in March of 2023 because I was constantly scrolling or getting distracted while I was out with my wife. (Still use my iPhone on WiFi at home). Found that it worked well for me, but there would be the occasional question I’d have and have no way to look it up besides asking to borrow my wife’s phone.
She got annoyed, so I got the Rabbit used on eBay for $130. Got a $5/mo sim for it. I think it’s made a lot of improvement since initial launch comparing my experience to reviews. Battery life is well over a day for me, and I haven’t had it glitch out too terribly. Even the scroll wheel isn’t as bad as they say.
You just have to assume that 20% of the time, it’s entirely wrong. Like Diane Keaton wasn’t in 1989’s Parenthood, it was Diane Wiess.
I bought it under the assumption that the company would fold in a year or so, but there’s already a community rooting them and installing base Android. For $130, it’s worth whatever I can get out of it.
Edit: also aware of the glaring security hole, so no personal questions to the R1
