Claude + a 2007 Nokia is the most unhinged setup I’ve ever built...
My dad refused to buy a smartphone for 19 years, so I gave his old Nokia a brain.
He still carries the same silver Nokia he bought in 2007. Says touchscreens are for people with nothing better to do.
Last month he called me to read him the news over the phone. Again. So I found an unofficial Claude client built for old Series 40 phones and installed it.
Now his Nokia boots into a red Claude logo and the line “Claude in your pocket, 2007 style.”
what’s on it:
chat → typed on T9, number keys only
quick prompts → web search, weather, news, exchange rates
translate → English and Turkish in one tap
counter → 96 messages left today
His first message was “Weather in istanbul”, pressed out letter by letter. Claude searched the web and came back with 25°C high, 19°C low and rain early next week.
He calls it “the internet button”. Here’s how to do it yourself, step by step below 👇
