Chociaż w targach IFA w Berlinie byłem już 5 razy, to w tym roku zdarzyło się po raz pierwszy, że byłem na nich sam (to znaczy był też Krzysiek, ale minęliśmy
While I get your opinion, these things have definitions. Here’s a super simple version:
A dumb phone does not connect to the internet. Its a phone. Just a dumb device.
A feature phone is what you’re referring to here, where it may connect to the internet, but isn’t part of some larger ecosystem and is certainly not an app-first approach. Its a phone first, ancillary features are a bonus.
Smartphones are your android and iOS devices, which connect to the internet, is part of a large ecosystem of applications, is an internet first oriented device, etc.
So yes, this is a feature phone from what I’ve read of the translation.
Which is why dumb phones and feature phones aren’t common anymore, and the people choosing them are specifically choosing it to avoid being available via WhatsApp/Signal/Slack/Discord/Teams/whatever else.
My FIL for example has a clamshell feature phone, because he doesn’t want to be reached except by phone or SMS. He doesn’t want to read email or get messages on his phone, he wants to restrict that to when he’s in front of his computer.
So yes, you would not be able to use messaging clients on a dumb phone, that’s the idea behind their use today.
I remember sending a Facebook message on my feature phone. I had to type with the num pad and it took minutes to load the page, but it I was successful.
I think people are forgetting that feature phones were connected to the internet back in the day
The Wikipedia page for Feature Phone looks to have been started in 2011.
The iPhone was introduced in 2007 and popularized Smart Phones to a point that Feature Phone grew in use enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry a few years later.
You better head over to Wikipedia to fix the misinformation issue they have had for over a decade now.

Then I can’t message anyone since people use messaging clients like signal and not actual texts

A dumb phone and a feature phone are not the same thing, and a feature phone may connect to the internet.
And who decided these definitions, and what makes them an authority?
Several decades of phone technology as it developed…
Edit: and why are you just down voting everyone replying providing you with info?
…so you just made it up then.
No one has done that. The only comments I’m downvoting are the ones spreading disinformation.
No, the phone industry made up these terms.
So how I read that is “Anything that isn’t what I want it to say is disinformation”.
Well, enjoy your day buddy, my participation in this thread is over. Its a neat feature phone, and that’s where I’ll be leaving that.
Except you can’t find any citations, so I’m pretty sure ya did.
Very unsurprisingly, you’re reading it wrong. And you know it.
Excellent, glad to hear it!
Why are you so defensive? Like, you’re really making an effort to come off as ignorant.
Why are you?

Should that mean something to me?
Did I say the phrase “feature phone” was misinformation? The fact that it exists or the date it came into existence disproves nothing…
