    This phone is perfect for Kids… adults need to grow up and exercise self-control.

    • @workout-7050

      July 1, 2025 at 2:28 pm

      self control is no joke and not easy as you sir are saying!

    • @PaulyWanuts

      Yes, alcoholic adults should just continue going to bars buy beer and exercise self control 😮. Additictions aren’t a matter of self control solely. It just might not be for you or you may not want to. Either way it’s not for everyone nor is a smartphone.

    Sorry, but I do not understand why tech reviewers use products not for what they are intended for. This is a simple phone for kids, elderly, or people who like to live off grid. Not for busy working individuals who live in the city. It is not surprising that it does not do half the things you want it to do.

    Americans are still cashing cheque’s? 😂😂😂

  4. @GIRlulz

    July 1, 2025 at 5:56 pm

    Or you can just remove those features/apps on any other phone without having a useless phone

  5. @newfnshow031

    July 1, 2025 at 7:28 pm

    honestly looks garbage

  6. @rri5635

    July 1, 2025 at 7:40 pm

    Bellarium is flying under the radar right now, but not for long.

  7. @rajeevsing9281

    July 1, 2025 at 7:45 pm

    Quiet now, explosive later. Bellarium is exactly what early investors should be watching.

  8. @AjnaSafeer48

    July 1, 2025 at 7:51 pm

    You’re not too late. Bellarium still has so much upside potential.

  9. @SkBoss-rb6wq

    July 1, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    There’s something special happening with Bellarium. Keep watching.

  10. @Otorider-j9e

    July 1, 2025 at 8:11 pm

    Bellarium could easily go 20x before most people even hear about it.

  11. @DdlavkushRajakm.p.

    July 1, 2025 at 8:20 pm

    Not a meme coin. Not vaporware. Bellarium is the real deal.

  12. @Laxminarayan-vo7sm

    July 1, 2025 at 8:21 pm

    I’ve been in this game long enough to recognize the good setups. $BEL is one.

  13. @GOKUEDUT

    July 1, 2025 at 8:25 pm

    🚨 Bellarium Network is growing faster than expected. $BEL could explode soon! 🔥🌍

  14. @BudsenYadav-p3d

    July 1, 2025 at 8:31 pm

    Accumulating early-stage tokens like Bellarium is how big plays are made.

  15. @BimalMo

    July 1, 2025 at 8:34 pm

    $BEL might be the most promising alt launching this month.

  16. @FREEFIREGAMING-r4j

    July 1, 2025 at 8:37 pm

    It’s not hype — it’s real utility. That’s what makes Bellarium special.

  17. @KaranPatel-hr9vr

    July 1, 2025 at 8:38 pm

    BELLARIUM!!!

  18. @ManishYadav-m4e1x

    July 1, 2025 at 8:45 pm

    Everyone’s sleeping on Bellarium while it’s still dirt cheap.

  19. @KartikWahadane

    July 1, 2025 at 8:48 pm

    Bellarium has the kind of tokenomics that fuel long-term rallies.

  20. @ShamnadShanu-c6t

    July 1, 2025 at 8:50 pm

    Looking for that one gem before the market turns bullish? $BEL might be it.

  21. @DC_ROHITFF866

    July 1, 2025 at 8:52 pm

    This is how AVAX and SOL felt when they were unknown.

  22. @Nadeemsaifi10

    July 1, 2025 at 8:53 pm

    Bellarium is already outperforming other early tokens in engagement.

  23. @worldff44

    July 1, 2025 at 9:01 pm

    🌐 Bellarium Network is rolling out major updates soon. This is just the beginning. 🚀

  24. @MigomDoley-p6n

    July 1, 2025 at 9:03 pm

    Bellarium is the kind of project that rewards patience and conviction.

  25. @AnilThe

    July 1, 2025 at 9:03 pm

    🚀 Bellarium Network is putting in the groundwork to dominate its niche. $BEL looking ready to pop! 🌟

  26. @DariusRoland

    July 1, 2025 at 10:56 pm

    Yep, I’m gonna say “no thanks” to that idea. I virtually never talk to actual people because I rarely leave home. I can’t drive anymore, so social media is pretty much my window to the world.

  27. @jeffmcintoshmusic

    July 1, 2025 at 11:06 pm

    It’s not going to be the only phone for many. I hope to get one to use as a offline device (reachable by my family & select contacts) when I don’t need the conveniences (banking, keys, etc) that the iPhone provides.

  28. @AndreaLogan

    July 1, 2025 at 11:20 pm

    You do not have to go to email to see the image you receive in a text message. You just click on the image icon and it will open the image. Also, did you turn off imessage on your iphone before switching your sim over? It seems like you did not, given the texting issues. As someone who uses the LP3, it is entirely frustrating watching reviews like this that give incorrect information.

  29. @marcshawn

    July 2, 2025 at 3:20 am

    I sincerely hope light phone is watching and taking notes. I really want this to work.

  30. @A.L-y2o

    July 2, 2025 at 8:08 am

    I love this phone. I just would add Anytype, my Authenticator and Signal and I would be fine. Thank god it’s just android in a fancy suite, so no problem adding the apps you need.

  31. @JeremyDeBose

    July 2, 2025 at 12:26 pm

    I almost ordered each version of these but figured the limitations outweighed the detox. I’d still need my iPhone for work, coaching football, paying for food, etc. so I just uninstall social media etc when needed. Which I’m doing again right now.

  32. @williamdylanpowell6884

    July 2, 2025 at 2:35 pm

    Maybe try not doing smartphone things with it?
