@julio14121973 Ya, para mi el precio también es prohibitivo. Pero también lo entiendo; Tiene que ser caro hacer algo así desde cero...

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.

@BetaRaddish Would be nice if it could be reviewed somewhere before pre ordering. Seem to be too many unknowns for now.

@BetaRaddish It's not released, right? They seem to be waiting for demand before starting production?

@BetaRaddish And I did notice it says something like "retro camera" on the menus. That's not promising. But still curious to see reviews of this thing!

@BetaRaddish I'd want a decent camera, for sure... That's one of the main features I want on a phone nowadays.

@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.

@BetaRaddish Maybe that's why they say that Whatsapp, Telegram, etc. work on the phone. Probably not sure enough to say it's got full compatibility. Ah, interesting re license! That could be part of that elevated pricing.

@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." 😅

@BetaRaddish In a way, any retro computer is also a kind of digital detox product. I understand their thinking. But it's going to be a hard sell, between price and panicked comments about people not wanting to lose access to their FB 😅 It's just one more product. There will be more!

@BetaRaddish True. It's a risk for sure! Then again, what else can they do? They apparently don't have the Amiga license. So then.. Joysticks? Monitors? Not sure there's many options left but to try something totally different.

@BetaRaddish Dunno, I'm not in the C= scene, but it seems like a well designed project. Not just "slapping stickers" on a Temu phone. They can only do so many C64 remakes before having to expand. A digital detox phone seems like a good candidate to me! It might just get traction. Who knows?

@virtuallyfun @gordoslair That's not realistic. A custom device between dumb and smart for a small market, that's not going to be possible for 30 of any kind of dollar. The current pricing is probably quite fair, but just too expensive/not worth it for me. All depends on performance etc though. We'll see.

@EngagesBrain I was actually considering getting one (and I'm not even a Commodore fan) until I saw the price. And I'm not saying it's overpriced. Heck, making a new phone from scratch must cost a fortune, especially for a limited audience! But it's just more money than I can justify for this.

@gordoslair That definitely looks discouraging for wasting time on! Problem for me is the features that the phone NEEDS, like in my case NFC payment, bluetooth+podcasts, good camera, whatsapp, maps, app for my drivers license, etc.. there's always something that's not on those small devices.
