Commodore 64's New Flip Phone Skips Android for Linux-Based Sailfish OS

Sidephone, key phone, ikko one with the optional keyboard, upcoming clicks communicator, and dumber mini are all modern semi-smart keyboard phones at or below their discounted introductory price for the base model, with similar enough specs in most areas. Most of these are on some sort of privacy AOSP rom too.

And that's not including all the unihertz, blue fox, and other Chinese phones that would compete

I wouldn't say that shipping the phone with WhatsApp preinstalled is privacy respecting.

I have itsfoss in my RSS feed mostly to keep an eye on the FOSS community news in general, but will agree most of their articles seem to lean quite heavily into soft endorsing certain brands.

I had a flip phone once. I kicked it due to being angry that I don't have a smartphone and it split in two. I was 12 maybe

Funny enough I could still recieve calls on the bottom half.

I'm sorry, did I miss something? The commodore phone doesn't have social media applications.

They haven't released this product, but as far as I'm aware they are shipping C64s.
