I don't know the scale that goes into something like Perifractic's phone (which I'm going to tongue-in-cheek call the "PeriPhone" but he calls the Commodore Callback).It's just plain too expensive to be interesting to me.About the neatest thing about it is buried in all the conversation about cost and trademark usage: it's running SailfishOS. On a flip phone. I am curious about how that works.Not "pay $500" curious, but curious.

@veronica The device is really interesting to me, and has a lot of the hardware features that I miss from old phones. I love that it's everything I love about older phones while maintaining modern features of new phones. The hardware is super neatBut I'm very happy with GrapheneOS, and I find not having a web browser on my phone to be something I don't truely desire. I need the ability to look things up and win arguments 😛

@veronica The big worry about this kind of hardware is not getting the proper software updates in the future Phones need a lot of support, and there are lots of security considerations to make. I would be skeptical about being an early adopter of something that could financially flop and not receive updates anymore
