>>109068656Phones had cameras long before they were "smart". The gameboy had a camera.
>>109068567>Commodore has a manufacturing partner in Shenzhen to build the phone. (Commodore wouldn't share the name of this partner.) >Commodore has also built a retro camcorder mode with procedurally generated filters, making it look like your video footage came straight from the '90s. >At the OS-level, Simpson says Commodore has “patent-pending” technology that blocks the ability for users to install or side-load internet browsers and social media apps.>$500absolutely and incredibly embarrassing. this utter garbage will tank commodore AGAIN. >>109069112>the gameboy had a camerathe gameboy wasn't a phone. all it did was let you play games.

>>109068567Is this the shitty Commodore or the okay Commodore? For some really stupid legal reason there's two completely different companies that both claim to be Commodore and one's a total fucking shitshow.
>>109070209The one that released the C64 Ulitmate recentlywhether that's the shitty or okay one I will leave for you to decide
now it's perfect
wtf
>>109069887OK, what the fuck. The only possibility in my mind is that someone at nuCommodore is a chris-chan autist and was aware of this.
>>109068567>be jewtuber>buy Commodore name for about three fitty>trick people into buying a shitty FPGA C64 clone>all so you can try and hawk them your shitty flip phoneQuite the long con he's got there. I hear he's also trying to buy the Amiga name from it's current owners.
>>109068567guys it's a heckin' dumb phonearino for only $500 FUCKING DOLLARS!OH MY BLUESKY, OH MY GODDESS OH MY SCIENCE, $500 FOR A DUMBPHONE WHICH ISN'T ACTUALLY A DUMBPHONE IT JUST HAS NERFED LINUX ON IT SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. WELCOME TO THE INTERNOT XISTERS! GET IT! INTERNOT! THAT'S A FUNNY RIGHT THEREADOODLE!WOW!
>>109072322The C64 ultimate is far from shitty
>>109068567sailfish os, pretty nice but fuck whatsapp and all the garbage they will shove in this phone. lol at the price.
This is giving me old school Commodore vibes - making a stupid product that nobody wants for no reason even though your money should be going elsewhere. Probably low cost OEM chinkphone though, so it's not a huge problem if it flops.
>>109072322> I hear he's also trying to buy the Amiga name he won't have a chance now. nobody wanted to see new commodore go back down the old road that other grifters before him have taken where they slap the commodore name on something and hope to turn a profit. one of the faggots running it claim commodore always did this sort of thing, mistaking it for amstrad or something (commodore made calculators and computers - that's it) and back to bankruptcy once again with the name being sold off to another grifter.
>>109069887>>109070116lmao wut
>>109069887I hope they give Chris-Chan a donation for this.
>>109073271>making a stupid product that nobody wants never happened, unless we're talking about cd32. and they only made computers people wanted.> Probably low cost OEM chinkphone it IS a low cost OEM chinkphone, they refuse to say what manufacturer it is too, because we'd be able to see exactly what they are making and how much it costs. they don't want anyone to know this.these useless homosexuals won't even tell you who is making their phones, using "patent pending technology" to prevent "sideloading", it's an astounding fumble of the bag. preventing any development on a device was not something that commodore stood for. they supported hobbyists and developers by providing schematics, software, manuals etc. these useless homosexuals? you get nothing. they even tried to lockdown the firmware of their c64 to prevent people from installing their own. that decision was reversed when people started shitting on them and laughing at them.anyway.. it's a massive problem for commodore if this flops. and it will flop. nobody will be buying this fucking shit.
>>109073374>never happened, unless we're talking about cd32.Uhhh, the 264 series? That was hare-brained. Amiga 600. The PET with the horrid keyboard (earlier one). VIC-20, sold OK but it was such a weak and gay computer compared to the C64 which came out so soon afterward. C65 should have come out and replaced the C64 in 1985 instead of the C128. C128 didn't need the Z80, that was just kinda spackeled on there as a bullet point and nobody ran CP/M on the C128.I could go on, I am a genuine Commodore fan.>it IS a low cost OEM chinkphone, they refuse to say what manufacturer it is too, because we'd be able to see exactly what they are making and how much it costs. they don't want anyone to know this.The service is the AI call screening, that's the gimmick and I just told my wife about it and she said she likes the idea. She also likes the dumb phone idea. She's an iPhone user and already has that call screening shit set up.>anyway.. it's a massive problem for commodore if this flops. and it will flop. nobody will be buying this fucking shit.I dunno, they are taking pre-orders, they will then order enough to fulfill the orders and that'll be that. The JIT method, also known as the Toyota Method, works great for high-mix low volume manufacturing. Old HP literally made their business on this. Not gimmick phones, but just making selling as many of a thing as the customers would order.There's a good book on this.
>>109073463I'd love a flip phone like this, which can run certain 'complex' applications such as maps, but it'll most likely be goygle maps only, no osm so fuck it.Also, the so called 'patented' mechanism to block sideloading sounds retarded. Let me do whatever the fuck I want, at least behind an obscure debug function or something physical like the write-protect screw contact on chromebooks. As long as it filters normies, it would work.
>>109073475>Let me do whatever the fuck I wantI think it's less about you and more about government spyware and carrier bullshit they will try to hit you with or whatever.You don't need apps. The whole point is it's JUST a phone. That's the point. There's no point to it if it's just another phone you can load up with garbage. You already have that.For many people the call screening feature will be more than enough.
>>109073486it will support maps and ridesharing for example - those two are already big data sinks for surveillance. Either go full dumb phone or not. This is a mixed up intermediate point that mixes the disadvantage of both a dumb and smart phone.
>>109073491Maybe it supports things but allows you to disable them. An increasingly uncommon feature.I noticed every time my wife's iPhone updates it turns the Bluetooth and Wifi back on. She never uses either.
>>109073491Actually you could easily do maps with no actual Internet, nobody remembers "navis" but they were big from about 2000-ish until maybe 2010 when smart phones with mapping became common.
Yeah, not sure what to think about this. A phone after just resurrecting the company seems like a bad choice.If they do it as a reserve-only thing then maybe they wont lose their ass on it.
>>109073486>The whole point is it's JUST a phone.hilariously if you read the fine print it turns out that you can absolutely run all your apps on it. so it's not 'just a phone' it's actually 'just a gimmick' for fucking reasons, apparently. it's not a dumb phone at all, it's a flip stop smart phone which can't use a browser, because it can't ok?this fucking picture sums it all up. you can read all the heckin' product information herehttps://commodore.net/callback/
>>109073659You seem irrationally angry, is it because there's no Unit 8200 backdoor in this thing yet?You're just seething and frothing, it's not a natural look. Shame on you. I'm tellin' on you to your boss. We're all being graded, never EVER forget this you dumb woman.
>>109071753>Peso
>>109073515Yeah, osm helps with that. I remember using it back in 2014 by pre-downloading the map for the area I needed and used the GPS with it no problem while abroad. Handy.
>>109073707what are you even on about? the phone is a gimmick and i am calling it out as such. everything i have said is true and is on their website. if that makes you upset feel free to go fuck yourself at any time. are you paid to promote this gimmick phone or something? does the name commodore remind you of your interupted childhood? if you're distressed by the language you find on the internet hate machine please feel free to return to reddit and stay there.
>>109073463>>109073707>anon tells moron commodore made computers people wanted and nothing else>proceeds to list things that still sold>a prototype is thrown in for no apparent reasonlol>nobody ran CP/M on the C128.plenty of people ran cp/m on the 128. I wonder what other schizo nonsense you have?>I could go on, I am a genuine Commodore fanYou write like your part of "Commodore"'s marketing team, useless homosexuals that barely understand any of the history and has had complete mental breakdown when you were told that OG commodore weren't making other things besides computers. >, they are taking pre-orders,Wow. That's great. It's still a trash device that's crippled to prevent you from accessing certain sites and installing anything you want on it. What a dumb fucking retard.
>>109073793>part of "Commodore"'s marketing teamyeah, i'm starting to think this as well. being retarded they also think that being smug, snide little faggots on 4chan is going to help their cause somehow. it just makes me hate them even more.my family had a c64 back in the 80s as well. oh noes, does that mean i meant to run after memories by dropping dimes on chinkslop grifter trash? does that mean i am not a 'genuine commodore fan'? oh my heckin' goodness, oh my male feminism, oh my fpga dildo.
>>109068567MAKE A FUCKING SLIDER PHONE WITH A REAL PHYSICAL KEYBOARD YOU GODDAMN FAGGOTS
>>109073486>You don't need apps.Only the apps that a fucking homosexual retard allows you to install ;)>The whole point is it's JUST a phonethat has hard coded DNS blocking you cannot control! Oh BOY! I love when homosexual youtubers are controlling what websites i can and cannot visit with a device i PAID for. my fucking sides. this is just embarrassing. you are embarrassing.
>>109073824>yeah, i'm starting to think this as well. being retarded they also think that being smug, snide little faggots on 4chan is going to help their cause somehow. it just makes me hate them even more.It's the usual story with this website. youtuber losers come here to spam their latest cancer or to defend their cancer. Then they quickly disappear again when they realize everyone hates them and wishes they'd die because bothering 4chan users with your cancer was a mistake
>>109068567>>109068590>outdated LTE capabilities onlyThe spirit of Jack Tramiel is alive and well.
>>1090740245G gives you turbo hip cancer.
>>109074024LTE would cover more than enough for any connectivity needs on a phone like that.
>>109074024jack would have never released such trash. he and his engineers would have made sure it was compliant. they gave a shit back then, same happened when he went to atari. now? no. these useless fucks just buy a few thousand phones from alibaba, install sailfish instead of android, install a dns firewall containing who knows what dns blocks, and a "patent pending" technology to prevent unauthorized sideloading they refuse to talk about, including refusing to reveal who is actually manufacturing this slop in china. jack would be so disturbed by all of this that he'd equate it to an electronic version of a nazi concentration camp.
>no run/stop and restore keys
>>109074570here's how you run/stop+restore it:
>>109068590That's basically every clamshell phone from the early 2000s.
>>109074376LTE is EoL in less than 2 years.
>>109074474One of his sons (also worked at old Commodore) thinks it's awesome
>>109075714I will buy their modems and install at my home. Custom SIM is not hard to do. So I'll have free mobile interwebz in my backyard, just LTE instead of wifi.
>>109075731of course he thinks it's awesome. he's getting part of the profits. leonard has the money gene of the tramiel family, his dad had the computers and technology for the masses gene. jack would never release a phone that people can already buy for between $100-$200. let's pretend he still existed, bought thousands of phones from china, he'd tell you about it and brag about how he could undercut the entire market by hundreds of dollars and still make a profit
>>109075353i had that phone. the fm synth ringtones were always great to hear playing out of that thing.
>>109075714Bro these retards faggots at t mobile think it is a really good idea to fucked HALF of the mobile phones and making them e waste nigga
