What could you need to replace a smartphone?

A few weeks ago I've decided to ditch my smartphone and to go with a Punkt phone.

As I'm waiting that my new phone arrives I'm slowly preparing the transition. Once you take that challenge seriously you notice that your phone has really replaced many objects in your life. So when you ditch your smartphone you are also bringing other devices back in your life.

At this time for me it's the following objects I'm bringing back in my life:

• A camera: I'm trying to use my old DSLR for this. It's a bit huge, and a long process to edit simple family photos. So I'll look it in the future I'll go with a Camp Snap Camera or a second hand pocket digital camera.

• A music-player: For running I need something simple to listen to music. For this I bought a second hand iPod shuttle and a second hand pair of wired headphones (remember iPods don't have bluetooth). For the headphones I went with the Shure Aonic 215 Uni.

• Watch : Before I used an Apple Watch, which I'll also replace as the Apple Watch is just like a mini smartphone. First I tried to get a second hand Mondaine Watch (the watches inspired by the clocks of the swiss railway company). But after getting a half broken one and struggling with finding a quality watch I decided to bug a new Mondaine Essence Solar.

• Phone: The phone that I'm waiting to recieve at home is the Punkt MPO2 4G phone.

I'm still waiting on the phone and the headphones to live the full transition. I'm sure things will change but that's the plan for now.
