I never use my smartphone's features and I don't like the idea of having accounts and spyware in my phones software (yes i know about custom roms, my phone currently runs cyanogen, and if i could it would run replicant).

I miss horizontal clamshell flip phones with full physical keyboards. I miss when I didn't have to charge my phone every single day. It's pretty crazy how quickly mobile technology exploded.
My sister fell in love with Palm's later proto-smartphones but that's probably already more advanced than you're looking for.
A lot of deprecated phones run on Java-based OS right? After all these years I can't imagine them being any more secure than today's smartphones honestly. IIRC mobile security was becoming a big concern even before the iPhone came out.
I remember the Motorola Razr being really popular for a time, and the last time I was in Singapore you could still buy a variety of second-hand dumbphones pretty much anywhere you went.
The problem is if you're in America networks like Sprint and Verizon dominated the market for a long time with phones that can't use SIM cards, so I'd wager most older phones on those networks probably don't work anymore, but don't take my word for it.

Smartfones would be /cyb/ if they didn't spy on you (the only exception is when you use Replicant, but we all know it's not perfect). Moreover, Android is in fact based on GNU/Linux, but you can't really do shit on it, can you? (The most /cyb/ thing I did was using an RTL-SDR)
So, a cyberpunk config is to use an old dumbphone so as not to be tracked and a PC (preferably with a custom BIOS as well), an older smartphone (Nokia N900, Nokia 9300i Communicator, Palm Treo something) or a smartphone made for people like us (Neo900, the CHIP project… but they often end up being failures)

Get any phone with cyanogenmod source, or regular android source (a jewgle branded phone like Nexus)
If your system isn't 100% drok then repo clone the android source and build your own roms. If it is drok, do it on AWS, takes only 3mins to download entire source, then run a script that nukes all the shitty stuff you don't want out of the makefiles so they aren't built. Add your own programs to get built and signed with the Rom. You learn how to do this in any Android Oreilly book or Android Hacker's Handbook.
You can prevent anything getting installed by simply ripping out all the installers. Prevent camera being accessed by ripping out all the cam drivers, or GPS, or NFC ect. You have full control over the device (well except one major exception… the fucking radio proprietary RTOS running unchecked).

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

Jokes aside, just for any users who might be unclear:
Android isn't a GNU system. The GNU/Linux moniker is only applicable if the Linux distro in question uses the gnu userland or c standard library, which Android does not. If I used just the linux kernel for some embedded device, that wouldnt be GNU/Linux either. You can have Linux without GNU and you can have GNU without linux. Theyre just pieces of an operating system that are commonly used together.

Saw two or three others, so I guess I'm not the only one dissatisfied. Though I still think there is only one idiot from pol who posts all those buzzwords.

Well, depends how dirty it gets. If my room starts to have explosive diarrhea stains all over the walls because of all the retards hanging out in my room trying to tell me over and over again that x y and z belong in my room because it vaguely has a relation to it, and the police are nowhere to be found, and I have no means of getting them to leave other than trying to reason with them or yell at them, I probably would move out.

>those proprietary block things
Those aren't proprietary, that's the point. Anyone who wants to can manufacture and sell new modules. The only thing I'm really worried about is the metal part that everything plugs into, since as far as I know people can't just make those for themselves.

I used to have this phone before I got my smartphone and kept it as a backup in case I lost said smartphone. I'm considering switching my number to this phone as an experiment to try and stop using my smartphone so much. Wish my luck, chummers.

I've got a somewhat decent system in place to partially protect my privacy on android. I say partially because android itself will always be proprietary google no matter what you do. Anyway, here's what I do:
- Use XPrivacy to limit exactly what each app does and does not have access to (internet, app data, clipboard, you name it). I can't find a single flaw with the software it works reliable and it's easy enough to figure out.
- Use orbot and orweb to reroute all internet access on my phone through the TOR network. Yes I am aware orbot/orweb are a bit leaky, but they're the best android has.

I've got this old nokia because rooting my phone with Cyanogen flipped and I hard bricked my phone. I regret it furiously. No web connectivity so I can't check muh chans, won't accept my micro SD card so no music, every time I have nothing to do at work I just end up sitting there awkwardly doing nothing, literally. Smartphones made me get through my day well. I used to read ebooks on my smartphone and now I can't read shit because I stopped using meatspace books and switched to cyber versions I just pull off my site.
Also I broke the screen on the dumbphone yesterday from sitting on it (I only weigh 58kg what the hell). I must be the first person to ever break a Nokia dumbphone.
Fuck this gay earth.

I still use my old Atrix, but it's on its last legs. I need to replace it. Once I don't depend on it, I think I'll get more adventurous and start playing around with it.
Is there a more recent equivalent to the Atrix?

police have disappeared thousands of people in chicago.
the state is corrupt and influenced heavily by lobbyists, and then theres the problem of what individuals in power like to do. if the state wants to figure out lots about you? it can, unless you have never used a phone, never used credit/debit, never used a bank, never had a job, never applied for a job, never owned land, never filed taxes, and never used the internet insecurely.
having a nearly omniscient government is asking for bad things to happen

I have my dad's old work phone, a Cat B25. It's really durable. It has a loop on top, I'm considering adding a cord there so it can double as a self-defence weapon.
