  • New FIG Kosher Phone

Flippy Well said. I would call this, Born goyish and then converted, Its Kosher now, and (supposedly) irreversible. But it was born Android. Real android, not bits and peices of it like other off the beat phones (PUNKT, etc.)

Ya but you know "Ger Shenisgayer Kekatan Shenolad dami" so even if it was a ger you can still call it Born Kosher!!!

    mkw also what's about ribis (ריבית) for the pre orders

    what shayches ribis its cheaper now to preorder not more expensive?? BASICS

      I was saying that FIG might have full control over the Chinese factory and can fully customize the phone to their liking, whether it be hinges or color or texture or material or processor or memory (or even regarding software like removing the browser etc.),they have this control over the manafacturing process by telling the manafacturer to do such and such (like I literally said before), but they don't do anything by themselves with their own employees in some sort of hypothetical inhouse facility in the U.S. - that doesn't exist. Everything is made overseas. That's what I meant when I said that they don't have the manafacturing capability to add buttons, that is by themselves, without the Chinese manafacturer and their facility. So I'm not sure what you are curious about. What I said was pretty clear, like how you put it:

      FIG has no additional manufacturing resources of their own

      That's all that I was trying to say - that nothing is made by FIG themselves in-house (besides some software like the fig messenger app), rather they tell the manafacturer what to do, and they do it for FIG. That's it. That's all I meant to say. I'm was never coming to say that FIG just "takes off phones off alibaba and sells them". Of course, they customize it to their liking, the manufacturer produces it, and FIG sells it like they did with the fig flip one. Just over here FIG customized it a bit more for the better.

      Tl;dr:We are saying the same thing, and you are just stating what has already been said.

      Well, its easy to speak perfect English when texting with super smart ai manipulated language translation. I dont think he thinks with perfect English.

      Listen, I don't know what kind of world you live in, but in mine there is no such thing as a "perfect English" translated by "SUPER SMART A.I.-MANIPULATED LANGUAGE TRANSLATION MACHINE 2000" or something like that. If it makes you feel better to think that he doesn't speak English (even though you never spoke to him), then fine, think that way all you want lol.

        PHONEHOCKER You are incorrect, learn through the halachos, get a basic understanding, and read some modern-day examples, and you will understand quite quickly that early-bird discounts are indeed a ribbis issue.

        Cute but maybe we are getting to lomdish over here,,,

        please help me understand. all these kosher phones either buying it kosher or taking it to tag to filter it, that means you are blocked from doing all the app installs that are taugh on this website?

          PHONEHOCKER No, it can be an issue to pre-order for a cheaper price, if they don't have it in stock you're basically lending them money now to use, and they'll pay you back later at a higher price. It's not simple, but definitely not "BASICS". Ask your LOR.

            Biden2020prez Probably why no one on this site actually uses these phones according to my brief survey.

            MXRJR I mentioned this before on this thread, that I'm not advertising for this company at all, I don't make a penny from them either, I just am affiliated to the people that created it and I am a beta tester for them. So I'm just here to give the info that keeps the oilam informed.
