Nokia 2720 Flip

A long time ago, I owned a Nokia 6600 Fold and it is still one of the nicest phones I've ever had. The flip action to open was really satisfying. It was my last feature phone and I've had a smart phone of some sort ever since.

I stumbled across the 2720 Flip on Instagram and the keyboard layout just looked really... inviting.

The top part reminds me of the steering wheel buttons on a modern Mercedes while the number pad harks back to the 6600 Fold I had all those years ago. It even has some killer features:

  • Up to 28 days of standby time from a single charge
  • Some social media apps (WhatsApp & Facebook)
  • In Case of Emergency features

It's a shame that the rear camera is just 2 MP which puts it on par with its predecessor and there's no front facing camera for video calls.

With all that said, it's £80!

Price: £79.99

Hey, World!

The name riffs on the familiar "hello, world!" introduction to programming languages.

I really like the work they're doing over at Basecamp and I'm really interested in working on a project that could make use of the HTML/JS framework they introduced called Hotwire.

I Miss My Bar

What a great website. I toggled one setting and didn't think it worked very well but toggle a few together and it really gives you a feel for how it used to be to go to a bar. Even pre-pandemic, it's not something I got to do regularly but something I want to do more of once it's safe.
