“The Callback 8020 runs the #linux based operating system #sailfishos which is made by @jolla , a mobile company created by Nokia employees in 2012 that also makes phones.
Per Commodore, its phone will support “over 99 percent of #android apps” through Sailfish OS’s Android runtime app compatibility layer, including #spotify, #signal and #whatsapp . Commodore also equipped the phone with some Commodore 64-era games.”

The article doesn't say but I hope it has a removable battery.
And it will work with my car's navigation screen for mapping and music.
And tethering??
Am I asking too much? This phone looks like it hits all of the right spots.
