    click the calls app and click the contact

    Two things you don’t have to do on a dedicated phone. I bet you had to unlock your phone first, too.

      on a dedicated phone you had dedicated phone. No call history, no phonebook, no call log. So yes, it is technically more taps to get to the dialing stage. But it’s faster overall

        Plenty of the handheld dedicated phones had caller id, and a contacts page. But at that point it’s no longer a corded rotary phone with the fun clicks and clacks you get watching the dialer go from 7 to 0, and 5 to 0, and etc.

          My point was more in the tone of, the dialing on a smartphone is the tiniest problem that those devices have. Just kill social media. Yes, lemmy included. This human experiment failed and the repercussions are incalculable.
