Punkt. MP02

I know... a dumb phone in 2020, that’s not realistic.
For me it’s more than realistic, it’s imperative.

To be fair, I warmed up to the concept for months/years prior to making the switch so it wasn’t too dramatic for me. But it has been quite a blessing.

The Punkt MP02 is not a cheap burner phone, nor should you give it to your grandma who doesn’t want a smartphone. The MP02 is a beautifully designed object with some surprisingly buggy software.
At $350 (when it’s in stock) this isn’t an impulse buy, but if you’re committed to it you can justify the savings over the latest iPhone.
I got mine for around $150 used on eBay, and when I say used I mean cracked screen+housing and dirty, but it’s a minimalist phone so how much will I really be using it?

At the end of the day I see the MP02 as a trophy I’ve earned for sculpting a life that doesn’t revolve around my phone. And its a trophy I’m proud to use.
