The MP02 New Generation 4G voicephone

Looking for balance? Here it comes.

Designed with the 21st century in mind.

MP02 4G Mobile Phone
 

“If anyone wants to talk to me, they can give me a call. Other forms of communication, for example email or social media, are available when I choose to use them – and via a linked device that allows me to use them more effectively.”

Petter Neby signature

Petter Neby, founder of Punkt.


MP02 mobile phone

The Internet as a tool

When it’s time to get online, the MP02’s 4G LTE connection can be shared with a tablet/laptop – which means easier typing in comparison with a smartphone, and a bigger screen. This two-device approach means that the Internet is something you dip into, rather than the other way round.

MP02 mobile phone

Being here, being effective

Focus is at a premium in the digital age. The MP02 4G mobile phone makes it easier to be where you are, whether that’s a family weekend away or an important business meeting. It gives you freedom from a constant onslaught of designed-for-addiction notifications and other distractions. It puts you in charge.

MP02 mobile phone

Connection in the digital age

The Punkt. MP02 minimalist phone is built for connecting with people. It’s comfortable to hold and to use and features excellent audio quality and battery life: a voice phone that works as a phone, with up-to-the-minute styling and an interface that is elegant and efficient.

MP02 mobile phone

Low-key, stylish design

The instantly-recognisable MP02 is the work of renowned product designer Jasper Morrison. It is built around effective simplicity: press the phonebook button to make a call, press the text button to send a message. For everything else, there’s a fast, lean menu system: up, down, select, go.

MP02 Designed for security

Designed for security

The MP02’s minimalist operating system is hardened against attacks. Coupled with the fact that it is not designed around its owner entering sensitive personal information like bank details, private images, etc., this is a phone built for autonomy in the 21 st century.


MP02 Pigeon

Pigeon

The MP02 is the first voicephone to offer a downloadable privacy feature that uses the Signal protocol to provide free, encrypted Internet-based calls and texts worldwide via Wi Fi or mobile data (subject to data charges). We believe Signal provides vastly greater security compared to the widely-used encrypted alternatives, which exist primarily as tools for harvesting and selling valuable metadata (contacts lists, who communicated with whom, when it happened, etc.). In the Signal system, all metadata is encrypted.
By using the Signal-protocol, it is possible to add group messaging and voice messages to the MP02.

Bespoke tones

The MP02’s unique ringtones have their own pedigree: they are the work of respected Norwegian sound artist Kjetil Røst Nilsen.

“The MP02 builds on the paradigm shift of its revolutionary predecessor. From components to aesthetics, it’s an entirely new product inside and out – with a particularly striking contextual user interface.”

Pigeon is Signal-compatible

Pigeon is Signal-compatible

Pigeon is compatible with the Signal system which uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology to make phone calls and exchange text messages. The connection is made via an Internet connection, either Wi-Fi or a phone’s mobile data service. It is free to use (subject to standard data charges that may apply),and interacts with the Signal app which is available as a free download for almost all smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers.


Pigeon is private

Pigeon is private

Pigeon uses the Signal protocol, recognised as the de facto standard for encrypted messaging. Signal is operated by an independent non-profit foundation and its code is open-source and therefore subject to public scrutiny. Unlike other services, metadata is encrypted (caller/sender, recipient, time of call/message, etc.). Central records are limited to when a Signal account was first created and the date of when it was last used, nothing more: messages and metadata are not stored on central servers. Signal’s users include the UK’s Conservative Party, the EU’s European Commission, and the United States government.

DailyView Apostrophy Calendar access
DailyView

Apostrophy

Apostrophy

Apostrophy is the Swiss-based company that provides the MP02s secure operating system. It has recently launched a fully encrypted email, contacts, and calendar service. Fee-based: no user data is sold.

Digital independence

Digital independence

As the saying goes, “If you are using a tech company’s services without paying them a fee, you are not the customer. You are the product.”

The reason that personal data fetches such high prices is that it is a path to power, a route to ownership. Switching to paid-for tech services is an essential step towards autonomy in this era of internal surveillance. Apostrophy uses Swiss-based servers that are covered by Switzerland’s stringent data protection laws.

Information minimalism

Information minimalism

DailyView is intentionally simple, designed as an alternative to jotting down a few notes on a piece of paper. Essential information is readily available, without the user being drawn into a distraction episode.

About Danny P.

Daniel Piterak’s company began when he wanted an elegant and well-fitted leather case for his own phone, and was dissatisfied with what was then available. That was in 2013, and since then the company (trading as Danny P.) has expanded to produce a range of luxury leather goods that sell across the world – all hand crafted in their small factory in the Czech Republic, some 70 miles south east of Prague.
