Which smartphone has the longest manual?

I purchased the other day this cool smartphone, so I checked its manual in the net:

Just another book to read... happy happy joy joy!
less than 250 pages to read.

It's a pity I don't have the time to read it in the near future.

What is the smartphone with the longest manual out there btw?

Does it have to be published by the manufacturer? I find more than 50,000 hits on Amazon for books about iPhone.

I prefer from the manfacturer. Also MATLAB has a long manual Mathematica and maple. I really should find time to read those. Years of sleepless nights, cheers!

You could probably pick up an IBM mainframe from the 60's/70's right cheaply. Roomsful of documentation, each and every one.

I remember in the late nineties I really wanted to buy an sgi supercomputer but forgot about it. The computer has gone a long way since the sixties.

Even earlier - about 1980 the research center I was working for suddenly acquired (for free) a Data General (remember them?) computer with about 2k 16 bit core. After due consideration we decided to throw away the electronics (estimated worth: 0) and keep the cabinet (a nice 19" rack about 5ft high). Sic transit...

How can I remember them if I were born in 1986?!

Here's a nice story about a kid, Connor Krukosky, who bought an IBM mainframe at a very low price: https://www.ibm.com/thought-leadership/passion-projects/careers-mainframe/

From that story:

He stuck with it to the point that when he saw an ad for an old IBM z890 mainframe that a nearby business was selling, he talked his father into helping him buy it for $237 and move it into the family basement.​

IBM hired him.
