Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.
500 fucken dollars tho. Call me stupid, but thats a lot when I can run down to Walmart and get a flip phone for like 20 bucks not even. I get it does more than that. Still seems crazy high.
A scam based on minimalist hype by the people who bought the Commodore brand. We’ve seen that a lot already.
Nah man, not for that price.
$500 ?!!
Time to DIY (or Do It Myself) with my old commodore:

$500 is too much for a dumb smartphone. I would get it for maybe 200-300 since I don’t need social media apps and I can sideload a firefox fork apk, it does look enticing as a phone that looks really retro and wants to “disconnect” you from being permanently online, but for that price one would expect something more. Starting by, at least, 128gb of storage.
Even $300 is too much for a dumb smartphone.
They do include Dual SIM/SD, so storage is not an issue. Still too high of price.
Nice AI slop image on the article.
Does it have a notification led strip or a camera at the foot of the case? Who knows? Is there an antenna? Only when it’s open and viewed from the back apparently.
