The fact that Nokia has decided to give another twist to its, already renewed, Nokia 2660 Flipis a sign that many of us are fatigued to carry a pocket weapon of mass diversionas the name Carl Honorethe world movement guru slow. As much as let’s silence notifications and we believe mobile zero spacesthe rhythm that the smartphone is exhausting. So, on the occasion of its market launch, I throw myself to sign up for the dumbphone trend or “mobiles without Internet”, also known as classic mobiles o telephone calls only“. I’m not the only one: the use of “dumb phones” increases as the Generation Z and millennials are deciding to limit their screen time. In fact, it is expected that this trend, originating in USA, grow the basic phone market by 5% in North America alone over the next five years. The objective is improve our mental health. In my case, following a week of testing with the new Nokia 2660 Flip, these are my conclusions.
This is how my mental well-being has improved since I used a mobile “only calls”
An immediate effect of using a mobile calls only is that you recover real relationships with the people you care regarding.
Los benefits for my mental well-being What I have noticed during this week have been these:
He mobile calls only weighs less, is smaller and much more comfortable to carry on Plus, it’s gorgeous. It has a rear camera for Lo-fi style photos years 2000, a battery that lasts weeks, they only support SMS and calls, which is great for a digital detox and of course they include the classic game of snake. The two new colors of the Nokia 2660 Flip are the Pop Pink y Lush Green. Another point in favor: it costs 69 euros. I don’t know if the same thing happens to you, but when I think of my smathphono I imagine it as an agenda full of pending issues: messages that I have not seen, emails that I have not answered, news that I am missing. The emotions that these wake me up thoughts They are not usually reassuring. With the mobile calls only I have no option for that to happen to me. The feeling that you’re only going to claim my attention to connect with people who bother to call me makes me feel good. It is easier to discriminate junk information of the relevant The mobile does it for you.An immediate consequence of having fewer conversations per social networks is that I talk more than people who are relevant for me. The next step will be to increase the number of times I really see them because, ultimately, that is what a satisfying and happy life.I’ve got better protect myself from labor lawsuits that oneself imposes outside of working hours. I don’t check the mail before go to sleep in I check absurd things that I can do tomorrow perfectly. In my life there is more good silence. It is surprising to see the amount of mind noise generated by smartphones: demands, comparisons, fears… Garbage thoughts that diminish your quality of life and the time quality what you have There is no doubt that a smartphone is the perfect place to practice the multitakting or switch from one task to another continuously. Could be funny sometimes but being exposed to it continuously doesn’t help my mental health.
In conclusion: Do I keep the mobile only calls or do I go back to my smartphone?
Although I admit that the moment I transferred my card from my smartphone to the Nokia 2660 Flip I felt at least Vertigo. It was the closest thing to choosing, of your own free will, to put silicone earplugs in your ears. The sensation that the world would go on happening far from me was stressful but I accepted the challenge one hundred percent. I might have kept both devices alive – the smartphone and the only calls – but my goal was to make a real cure detox. After a week of relaxI can say that the experience it’s so worth it. Although it is not possible keep it 100 percent for a long time – the Internet connection is very necessary today – I believe that keeping the of the devices It will be my perfect option. My idea is to keep the Nokia 2660 Flip as my bedside mobile and consult my smartphone when I need it but, of course, I just finished walking with him on my back all day. At least for now.
