A phone meant not to be used: what would it take to build one? (nullderef.com)

Annoyingly, these days its very hard to get around with just a dumbphone, since so many websites want you to use some kind of authentication app to be able to use it. I need a smartphone to be able to access anything microsoft right now, including a lot of stuff at my work


Yes, there's always that one app that prevents you from switching. For some it's their banking app, for others Spotify, etc. So the question is how do we find a middle point between a dumbphone and a smartphone?
