I am so HAPPY i listened to my gut and gave the phone one more try, has been working flawlessly, I was just taking a nap cause I am under the weather in the basement and my wife called me because she needed me and the phone stayed connected the entire 3 hours I was down there, when she called me the call was crystal clear, I love waking up to see my pure and harmony right on my bedside, great combo nation to a more peaceful and mindful life!
The mudita pure is the best dumb phone period
Also I totally forgot about how awesome the flashlight is on the pure! Love the different lighting options by clicking the top of the phone

Very nice, my generation is labeled X, but I dont believe much in such generalization, apart that people sharing similar experiences of era can have similar morale and mindset.
Anyway. unlike Harmony, old phone page does not have review option.
But you could put to its Reedit group,. make a blog entry or You Tube review,
abeit different from mostly negative ones.

I also belong the so called X generation, and I was also skeptical, or never understood how these generations differ.
And then I read something, and I realized there can be something to it, not just morale or mindset, but actual changes in the brain structure.
So here it is, an example: we, as GenX people, used to grow up not knowing the internet. If you needed info, you asked someone or walked to the library to look it up. My daughter (GenZ) never lived in a world where information was not available in seconds. She just can not imagine such a world. If she needs info there is always a laptop, or a handy in reach. According to some scientists these experiences (and many more, of course) changes also the brain structures. Also some experts regard 2007 as the year of the GenZ starting point. The reason: iPhone. And it sound ridiculous, but iPhone changed the way people interact with technology, changed how we access the world. One more example, if you are mad, why the younger generation for example not saying “Good morning”, or skips greetings at all. It is because they are socialized on chat apps, and it means if you send a message you don’t know when the other part will read it, so saying “Good morning” is useless if the other one reads your message in the afternoon, not to mention if there are more parties in the chat, and they jump in-jump out, answering half day later. So they are not rude, greeting is just useless in their world. Ooops, sorry, it became a bit long. Oh, I have to add that I am pretty sure that my brain structure has also changed using the modern technology: I literally have forgotten how to write with a pen and pencil. I can type on a keyboard like a charm, but my handwriting…

Well, there is my dear Zoltan, more to it., Non digital or whats not on social networks now “dont exists”".
To I what is not tangible or on paper is prone to distortion or destraction., I like resarching, quest for knowledge, shaping my opinion on top of it. Kids today love just short forms, hate books, have less imagination and curiosity. One in all, harder way is more rewarding. Like so many movies and games with so little quality.

I partly agree with you. That is also my feeling.
But, look, I remember the words of my grandfather. He was shocked, when I told my father as a small kid, that I want to watch TV on Saturday morning (there was always kids program on Saturdays). That was just “not normal” for my grandfather. Why don’t you go out and play with the other kids, it is not normal that you just sit there, your brain will burn out in front of that bloody thing - he said to me several times. As of today: my daughter scrolls her handy on Saturday morning, and I say: Why don’t you go out and play with the other kids, it is not normal that you just sit there, your brain will burn out in front of that bloody thing. And my daughter probably will say the same thing to my grandchildren, when they, for example wearing some kind of VR headset on Saturday morning.
What I mean is: what for us “normal” is, it’s just for us normal. That can also be a question of generations.

And a bit to defend the younger generations, I try to put it in an other perspective.
I totally agree with the concept of learning languages. It trains your brain, opens up the world, helps to make connections. No question about that. But to someone, who has used Google translate since (s)he was born it is just a waste of time. Why should (s)he learn languages years long, if it is possible to translate anything to any language on the Earth within 2 seconds? They would say to me: My God, you’ve spent two years just to be able to ask for a pint of beer in English. Look, here is my phone, and I order you anything in any language in 2 seconds.
And for example that also changes the brain structure. I mean learning a language. And I can say that, hey it is not normal that people just take out their phones from their pockets to translate something. And then there you go, they can understand any language they want. Sometimes I feel myself almost like in that Douglas Adams novel with that fish, that one must to swallow and then they can understand everything…
So, sometimes I can understand the younger generation point of view. But, of course, I don’t have to agree with them.
