The next generation phone 'category'

Imagine a phone as a portal to a cloud service that you managed, you control not only the services (apps) it offers, but also the way it serves them., all tailored to feed a minimalist, managed, paradigm you have control of.

The service can enable all the apps - email, text, chat, even browsing, in ways that make sense to you using a quiet UI - a ‘portal’ to the digital world that you configure for your needs in ways that allow you to effectively manage and control work/life balance without all the noise and visual assault.

One might call a phone ‘dumb’ because users can’t use it to do the things they need to do without being visually assaulted by a second phone - make payments, track email or find information. But it need not be that way, a carefully designed phone can do all of those things, still support the minimalist paradigm AND give the user much more agency over what minimalist means.

Mudita offers the possibility of a ‘sophisticated’ phone - a phone that transcends ‘smart’ - a phone that gives the user control over their digital life, including all the ease of the modern digital world (chat, payments, email, information) while maintaining complete control (agency) over the nature of their interaction.

Kompakt could be the first step to that digital nirvana. The engineers are ready to listen, Mudita has the opportunity to raise the money - the time to begin the journey is right now!

No clouds please, part of control is having files, OS and apps on device.
It should be driven by MorphOS 4 portable or AmigaOS 5, ApolloOS , MacOS Classic, SymbOS , QNX
Some OS that lets full user control, no additional background services, telemetry
Eh, problem is often NFC, QR and such innovations require no nirvana phone, but it could be done.

Only the cloud can properly manage minimalism, anything that is ‘device extensible’ only serves hackers and is unmanageable by the general population.

Done properly, cloud doesn’t mean performance hits or privacy problems. It can actually improve both at much lower end user cost with greater manageability.

Cloud is somewhere else. Cloud data is not really that secure. Cloud computing is for low speced machines.
Cloud is a bit of magic, but more like bad vooddoo.
I prefer to handle data
