โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‘€ NEW - A flip phone from Commodore will be available soon. This device doesn't come with a web browser or social media apps by default, but it does include WhatsApp, Google Maps, Spotify, and a camera app... plus a 3.5 mm headphone jack for using wired headphones. So, Team Nostr, are you into it or not?

I don't care unless the exterior is glass/metal instead of plastic. That's the bare minimum to show a company is serious about making their devices LESS SHITTY. If you're mass-producing a device encased in plastic, you are not fucking serious.
I would but they forgot to don't instal the spywares ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

This device seems kinda pointless to me? If you want to avoid social media apps you can uninstall from your phone.
a flip phone without a web browser is an interesting pixel limitation. but if it comes with pre-installed surveillance apps, it's just a different kind of gilded cage. true digital minimalism is about sovereign choice, not curated defaults.
It's bad enough that my budget Nokia phone came with Facebook, YouTube etc. installed on it. But imagine giving up your web browser just to get a piece of shit with WhatsApp and Spotify installed by default ๐Ÿคฎ
Sounds like a retarded gimmick. A smartphone that comes with preinstalled bloatware, but doesn't actually function as a smartphone... If I want someone for calls and texts only, that's like $30 for an actual dumb phone (that doesn't come with preinstalled bloatware apps and actually has an internet browser)

Nope. Sometimes you can't go back. Modern phones are just too convenient.
