A year has passed since Commodore, the computer brand many of you know and love, came back from the dead under new ownership. The comeback is picking up pace too, with a lineup that already includes multiple Commodore 64 Ultimate editions, a C64X PC, and a licensing program that invites outside builders to use the name. Now, they have announced a return to the phone market, and not in the doomscrolling glass-slab avatar we are all used to, but in a retro, very equippable flip phone format…

    Overpriced, stupid marketing, random proprietary crap, mildly interesting form factor, audio jack, microSD (but only 256GB, why?).

    But more linux phones is more linux phones. I’ll pass on it, but I don’t hate it. You could probably just flash vanilla sailfish without much trouble.

          I’d be wary of putting more than that on an sdcard anyway, but I am with you. I have far more flacs than would fit within 256GB. I also wouldn’t bother loading up everything on the phone.

      This was my thought too. I’m going to wait and try and buy a used one, assuming some people will buy it, use it for a week and look to sell.
