Looks like Commodore is getting into the phone business (https://commodore.net/callback/). They are trying to bring phones back to the 90s or earily 2000s tech with a flip phone with limited apps. This may be a good idea especially with all the laws the govt's of the world are trying to pass with tracking people. I was thinking about putting GrapheneOS (https://grapheneos.org/) on my next phone just because govt's are overreaching in a lot of areas of our privacy and of course just getting away from all the social media might be a good thing especially for the kids first phone. I think the only hard sell for this is that it is over $400 ($600 for founders edition, which looks nice) for right now, maybe if they sell a lot maybe the price will come down. I understand why its expensive they don't get the deals like the big boys (Samsung, Apple, Google all get for creating silicone).

I got my email about this and getting access to pre-order, I wonder if I can use this with any carrier??? But SailfishOS is all Linux based so this could be interesting what people could do with this phone/OS later...

• Runs 99% of Android apps (without running Android)
• Flip closure + T9-style texting adds mindful friction to use
• HD Music + Radio + SID Chiptune Ringtones + IEM earphones
• Worldwide network support + Wi-Fi + Hotspot
• Blocks social media & browsers* – no more doomscrolling
• No data selling – Commodore x Sailfish OS puts privacy first
• Less Popups – just calm Ambient Dome LED notifications
• Go Off Grid – double-tap rear Physical Privacy Switch

It does look v interesting

Definitely and the FM Radio could be really cool if it works as expected because that has been pretty much stripped from all phones these days.

My phone was in the shop so I got a cheap motorola burner phone and it has been surprisingly good. Headphone jack and FM radio. No tiltometer and strangled for memory unfortunately. I haven't de-googled the phone but it is on the list of projects!
