$500 and up with no specs mentioned. Yikes.

Price aside, I absolutely love the idea of this and would compare it to the CAT S22 Flip I've been using for almost 2 years. Mine runs a (now) de-Googled Android 11, so it is getting a bit long in the tooth. The screen on this one also seems a bit larger which would be nice for maps and such (the S22 can do Organic Maps just fine, but the screen is tiny).

Commodore’s patent-pending technology blocks social media platforms and internet browsers at the system level.

I don't like this, though. At least, not the web browser part of it. The nice thing about the S22 is I can do that just fine, albeit annoyingly small and suboptimal, when I need to. Like, if I'm out and about and need to look up a business or phone number or something. The catch is that while I can use the web browser for what I need, it's too small / clunky to spend time farting around with things that aren't necessary. Hopefully there's a setting to allow that because that would be a dealbraker for me as I am on the lookout for a worthy successor to my S22.

    Oh, very nice. Must've missed that link.

    So, specs-wise, it's not far off from the S22 other than running a cleaner and newer OS and having twice the RAM (4GB vs 2 and quite a bit more onboard storage (64 GB vs 16). Screen is even the same res, so kinda bummed but understandable that 480x640 (portrait VGA) is sufficient for the form factor/use cases.

    The camera is a LOT better, though.

    patent-pending technology

    What? Simple access control is now patent-pending?

    The Android container allows installing Android apps, sp that is simple to circumvent.

    Also, no mainline kernel means it is expensive trash within a couple years. I'll pass on this one, I'll rather continue porting Linux to phones myself... I don't want trash.
