Looking forward to the end of Feb to see if my prediction is correct -
20/12/17 - Ok then - By end of Feb 2018 it will be $29.50
still a most expensive land fill :)
I'll wait for $9 deal to just keep as collection or maybe play snake game
lol you should post as a deal now
This is still available also if you want a cheap phone for calls & sms -
Telstra ZTE Lite F327S Pre-Paid Phone for $9 @ Harvey NormanBurner phone bargain thanks
Don't all the crims use whatapp etc nowadays?
WhatsApp is owned by Facebook these days, so, while its encryption is high quality, it wouldn't take much work by law enforcement to get their hands on the data.
@JohnHowardsEyebrows: That's… not quite how it works. WhatsApp is end to end encryption- whatever you type to someone else, neither WhatsApp nor Facebook nor anybody else can look at it.
The data that they DO collect is stuff like your social graph- who you interact with, how often, etc. Aggregate data that can be used to enhance their algorithms.
I started getting served Google ads for products I had only ever mentioned in WhatsApp a few weeks ago. I had never typed in the product to a search engine. Creeped me out a bit so now I've switched to Wickr.
@Gauntlet: might be your keyboard… Some aftermarket boards sell what you type. Android… You get emojis though, so I guess that helps…
Wickr is the program that most seem to use.
I use these phones for another purpose
I'm not doing anything illegal thankfully! There's a few better ones for the digitally savy. But yeah not that kind of guy
@Robc: I just use the stock android keyboard and I use Lineage OS nightly build. Ascii emoji does the job :).
I'd love to know how they harvest that kind of data though. I hear that Google admitted that their Google home was listening for key words.
Reminds me of the telescreen in 1984, scary stuff, and people willingly put these things in their houses.
I bought this and got it unlocked thru the eBay link that was provided. After inserting nother SIM card it says emergency calls only.
Did you read the comments in the post for that deal?
yes I did anything I am missing ?
Got one of these when they had the last catalogue. Literally only got it for snake and it’s crap :(
I'm not understanding all the positive votes. Couldn't you get a snake game off play store for $1?
nah thats the point none of them are like the classic
Can this be unlocked with Optus credit?
how would one go about unlocking one of these?
Contact Optus, it's $80 to unlock or spend $80 worth of prepaid vouchers
well thats just not worth it then.
thanks
Yeah, IMO, it isn't if you want it unlocked ASAP, fresh out of the box. But for Optus customers that are on pre-paid anyways, pretty good.
This item is unavailable… So I'm guessing they won't price match on something they can't sell you?
Burner phones yo.
We need some Voda locked cheapies.
I wish this were just an original Nokia 3310, but with band 28.
Alright assholes, I bought one a few weeks ago and here seems like the place to put my experience with it, so prospective buyers will actually see it, as commenting on older deals doesn't really hit too many people.
- It's (profanity) great.
- The camera is usable, far from great, far from good even, but you can make out faces and that's fine for the thing.
- The memory card loads shit pretty quick, I compressed 28 seasons of The Simpsons into about 9gb of data and have watched most of the first two seasons on it without a hitch.
- DESPITE WHAT LOTS OF PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU (I know you're trying to help, but (profanity) off, you're not helping) it CAN load all old java based games for Nokias of yesteryear. Including MeBoy, a Game Boy / Color emulator, I'm nearly five hours into Pokemon Silver on it and it runs flawlessly. (no sound though, which sucks I guess)
4.5. If searching for games, Google "[game's name] 240x320 jar" and you will find it. Guitar Hero World Tour is just as fun as I remember, with it's MIDI tracks and all. - The battery is great. I checked before, it's at about 40% judging by the little icon thing, and I haven't charged it in 11 days, in those 11 days I've made and received a bunch of calls, played the shit out of some games on it in my downtime, and watched a fair few hours of Simpsons while lying awake in bed during this heat wave.
- The internet works on it. It's old school WAP and a lot of sites don't run or don't exist anymore, but Facebook works, which is nostalgic as (profanity).
6.5. I got the Vodafone one, can't speak to Optus, but good old 0.Facebook.com STILL WORKS on Voda, so Facebook is absolutely free if you don't care for photos and just wanna send messages like me. - Speaker quality is surprisingly nice, and the thing pumps out the sound, I'd honestly say the majority of phones I've owned through the years are either quieter than this sucker, or at best, pretty much the same.
- You will make the checkout chick at Coles jealous about your phone pretty easy, so remember, with great phone, comes great responsibility.
Games I would recommend, that play nice and good with the buttons
MeBoy - a Game Boy / Color emulator, you need to run an old program on a Windows computer to load the thing with your ROMs, that you obviously legally acquired, which is a bit of a hassle, but you'll get the hang of it. It also has a save state for each game, which is sweeeeet (no audio though :/ ) … custom button layouts also available for it.
Guitar Hero - World Tour is the one I find runs best, but you can pick from 3, 4, 5, or 6. And there's a few versions of each, "Backstage Pass" is like a mini RPG style variant with a different set list. Lots of songs if you get the lot, phone keep you happy for long time.
Sonic the Hedgehog Part 1 and 2 - a decent port of the Mega Drive original to Java platforms, remade music and special stages are absent, but it runs well and smooth. I dig it. (No, it's not Sonic 4 Episode 1 and 2, it's the first game divided into two downloads)
80s Pinball - or any pinball, pinball just looks good and feels nice with the basic button layout.
Duke Nukem 3D - if you can get it to run, because it's a bitch to find a working copy for some reason. It's an impressive arena shooter that feels similar to Duke 3D, but with entirely different levels and whatnot.But are you using it as a phone? With your SIM in it?
Yup.
I've got great signal (using Voda for first time, been with Aldi for last few years, had some issues), never lost reception or anything.
Voices are nice and clear on it, including a fair few calls from a friend who is currently all the way in Thailand.
It's even got a comment from someone I was with about how impressed they were with how long it rang (I was avoiding a call) compared to their own phone.
Strictly as a phone and texter, it's fine. :)
thank you for the write up. Is it as strong as the previous Nokia 3310? ;)
@dtclin: Never personally had one (my first phone was a hand-me-down Sagem My C2-2 flipper in 2006 or so), but this thing's pretty sturdy. It's been dropped a few times both by accident, and by my two year old. No marks or anything, so far.
Great write up, thanks for your thoughts
