Commodore announces a digital detox phone and the comments seem very negative. I thought only the #MSX scene was that grumpy! 😅 I love the idea of a less-online focused device. It looks on-brand and fittingly nostalgic for Commodore. The pricing may limit its appeal, though.

@bitsofbas Honestly can you blame them? They hyped up some big reveal and everyone wants a FPGA Amiga. Instead they release... this thing... and want iPhone prices for it.

@alamone Yeah, the pricing is the dealbreaker. At least for me it is. As for the big reveal thing... that's marketing for you. They weren't going to say: "we've got something new coming up. You're not going to like it though." 😅

@bitsofbas Also, like it or not, you need to use apps on a smartphone to function in modern society... so a normal person is going to have to carry a real smartphone and this thing... which kinda defeats the point...

@alamone I _think_ that's what they aiming for: Rather than going with a dumb phone, something that's still useful enough in today's world. But not having you distracted by social media stuff. Will be curious to see the reviews on this thing. It might be very good. Or it might be shit.
