r/sidephone

Anyone having issues with certain letters not registering? My L has to be pressed with 2-3x more force than my other keys. Wondering if anyone has some keys that are like that?

Hi! I've just ordered a Sidephone Founders Edition International, and I was wondering whether the phone’s repairability had been taken into account, it's quite a long term concern but since I have for the moment my old Iphone 6, I'm used to be able to find pieces (such as battery, screen, home button...) on the internet to repair it myself.

The Iphones are certainly not the most repairable phones, but at least, since it is worldwide used, it is easy to find pieces/professionnals able to repair/ tutorials on yt or whatsoever... Especially since I live in Europe, it would be quite annoying if I needed to ship it to america and wait 3 weeks to have it fixed... I hope it won't break, but since I'm not buying it to change it in six months, it's something that might happen!

Have you though of letting some pieces accessible for small reparations, eventually some tutorials on the internet, or is the phone only designed to be opened/repaired by Sidephone's employees? That would really be awesome and would kind of match with that open-source mindset (more on the hardware though, but that's not less important in my opinion :)), thanks a lot for your answers and can't wait to start using the phone!

Hi all,

I placed my order on march 30th, still waiting for it to ship. I also ordered the QWERTY pad, thinking the original keypad won’t be of much use to me.

But I see now that the sidephone will be shipped out with the new classic keypad. I love it! I could actually use this keypad as well.

Will pending orders of sidephones also have the new classic keypad included? Cause I don’t see the older version of the keypad on the website no more.

Can’t wait for mine!

Hello,

This project looks very exciting!

However I can't see where this company is located?

Also the website says 1 year warranty, but in Europe/EU there is a minimum 2 year warranty on everything you buy.

On the latest version of JakeType, how many words/minute are you likely to achieve using the QWERTY keypad? Does it vary significantly from app to app?

I'm very close to buying the Sidephone (it's either this or Minimal Phone). I like my Sunbeam F1 Pro, but the messaging just isn't as fluid as I need it to be. Thanks for any and all assistance!
