when did phone diversity die down.
when I was young, everyone had a nokia 3310, then it EXPLODED into like a billion different phones, and everyone was competing.
and like now it's
Identical android/pixel, an iPhone, and that's it.

@edensaesthetic it was diverse back then. You just had no funds for anything better ;-)
@edensaesthetic @pinkprius but the 3310 also offered all you wanted from a phone 👌
@edensaesthetic I just bought a nokia n900 and it is lovely
@edensaesthetic the diversity is still there, just in the hardspace not softspace, the OS is pretty much two camps (with slight differences between phones), but I would like to see the ability to change to an OS of your own chosing

@edensaesthetic it feels to me like the pixel and iphone are getting closer together into this generic surveillance machine, while the other phones are still hanging on to quirks and things
