Review: Finally… A Dumb Phone That Gets It Right ✅ - From the moment I opened the box, the Punkt MP02 felt like a premium product. The build quality, the weight, the texture – it all gives off a “designed with purpose” vibe. This isn’t just a basic phone. It’s a statement. The real standout feature? The hotspot functionality. It’s brilliant. I use it to check WhatsApp or maps on my iPhone without unlocking the digital chaos of a smartphone. That combo alone makes this the perfect dumb phone for the modern era. Yes, the menu system could use some refinement – it takes a bit of getting used to. But once you’re over the learning curve, it just works. And more importantly, it doesn’t hijack your attention with dopamine-drip nonsense like other devices do. I’ve tried and returned several “dumb phones” on desertcart – none came close to the Punkt. This one? I’m keeping. It’s worth every penny. I even feel proud using it in public now, knowing I’ve taken control of my focus again. Ignore the negative reviews. This is a legit good phone for people who are serious about reclaiming their time and attention.
Review: Could have been good - This promised so much that I wanted as a private, minimalist phone. It looks good and is lovely and small and has an excellent display. However there are few things that mean I would not buy it again. First is the battery life. I rarely get a full day's use out of it despite being a very light user: two or three phone calls a day, a couple of dozen text message and none, or very little use of the WiFi tethering. I find the buttons can be unpredictable in some situations, particularly when unlocking it; I get missed clicks and double clicks far more often than on previous phones with real buttons. The Pigeon app for Signal is a disaster. I have twice had to do complete wipes, resets and reinstalls because it lost access to my account for no apparent reason. I would have liked to like this phone and initially thought a few interface tweaks would make it great (better display of notifications when locked for example). However the longer I have used it (six months now) the more frustrated I have become and would not recommend it in its current state. I am only hanging on to mine in a desperate attempt to get some value for the high cost of purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not as bad as all these reviews suggest
*by G***N on 20 June 2023*

Desperate to break the smartphone addiction I blame for the almost total destruction of my attention span over the last decade and a half, I fooled around for a while with a couple of HMD's cheap "Nokia" branded dumbphones. Couldn't make the switch with those wretched things. So I spent days (weeks?) researching the Punkt MP02 and its closest competitors and decided to take a gamble—knowing that it WAS a gamble. The MP02 I've been using for the past week bears little similarity to the ones I see being reviewed here and elsewhere. It's well made from high quality materials and a much more satisfying object to handle than a TV-sized slab of glass. It offers a simple (if occasionally eccentric) user interface. Calls come through loud and clear and texting via T9 is actually rather less onerous than I expected. Bluetooth pairing is a straightforward business and wifi tethering works fine. Even the much maligned battery life isn't that bad. I can get two-and-a-half days on standby with 4G/VoLTE on and everything else off. Although I will admit tethering absolutely hammers this, and quickly. The only problem I've encountered is a very occasional total freeze in standby which requires a reboot—frustrating when it happens, but thankfully infrequent. They say you shouldn't buy any tech product based on promises of what it may offer in the future; only for what it does now. And that's important, as the MP02 has received little to no ongoing development from Punkt. As far as I'm concerned, however, it does everything you need from a phone in this category, albeit expensively. In my case, the gamble has paid off. It's not perfect—what is?—but I love the thing.
