    Via Buttons & Knobs — Justine Haupt’s Rotary Cell Phone which you can…

    The Rotary Un-Smartphone is a followup to this personal project. It’s a production-ready ground-up design with all new parts (yes, the rotary dial too) and many neat bells and whistles.

    • Pocket-sized (11.0cm x 7.5cm x 3.0cm)
    • Light-weight (163g [6oz])

    • Access and call your personal contacts perhapsfaster than with a smartphone
    • Use your own SIM card with your favorite carrier’s “Bring Your Own Device” option
    • Real (mechanical) ringer bell made gold or silver-coated brass; externally visible
    • Receive basic SMS messages and send pre-typed messages and numeric strings
    • 2 displays: Front-side OLED for caller-ID and dial entry, and back-side ePaper for contacts display
    • Physical disconnect switch for the microphone
    • Mechanical power switch
    • MicroSD card stores contacts list as a text file
    • TRRS headset jack
    • USB-C charging port
    • Incandescent-like indicator LEDs
