@root42 Looking at the hand in the reveal photo, there is no way in hell I am ever going to carry that brick around. It should be half that size, at absolute maximum.

I am intrigued... I don't like the price point, but I love the form factor. I'm holding my judgement until the reviews come in...

@root42 depends on the price...

@root42 lmao i just saw the price, fuck me.

@root42 i'm confused how it can run 99% of all android apps but won't have a browser or social media

@eniko @root42 … and no touch screen. I don’t get i either.

@bjonte It has a touchscreen
Show threadJonas HJun 16
@root42 Oh, it does? I’m making assumptions based on the keypad.
Show threadSturmflutJun 17
@bjonte @root42 It has both. The touchscreen can allegedly be activated when necessary.
Show threadSturmflutJun 17
@eniko @root42 Probably a pre-filtered app store?

@[email protected] I'm closest to "It's great". But the price worries me a bit, even though compared to other detox devices it is actually not unprecedented.

I voted indifferent, but really I am intrigued and uncertain if it will be great or not. I'm not crazy about the price.

@root42 it's way too expensive to be attractive. It shouldn't cost more than a Nintendo Switch, imho.

(says the guy still using a 2012 flipphone :P)

Show threadroot42Jun 17
@PypeBros it was my first though, too. But this is a possibly low volume, custom phone. It will be more expensive than your average android phone...
Show threadPypeBrosJun 17

@root42 if it's the phone you've always been waiting for, then ok, it make sense to send 444+€ to secure one. I did that with the #MinimalPhone because of its e-ink.

But a phone with a clamshell ? Is it that hard to find ? Is it that unlikely that noone else will ever make it ? Am I such a Commodore fan to pay for that ? Well, maybe I'll start saving money now so I could buy one when I'm 50. Who knows ...

Show threadroot42Jun 17
@PypeBros I could afford one. But do I need one? No. Do I WANT one? Meh. I dunno. Probably not. I would rather buy the C64U if I didn’t have three original C64 already…
