Flip off Always-On. Introducing the Commodore Callback.

Please, shut this down immediately before the money is gone, and Commodore is bankrupt again. I have a really bad feeling about all this, read all the comments online, listen to your fanbase. Stick to Retro fpga, talk to people like Jeri and Bil, these people are Commodore's lifeline.

this.

If you really had to, you should have done this.

@EverythingC64 And the enshittification of a beloved brand begins. This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Let's start a thread with the title "50 REAL COMMDORE things I would release before this crap" #c64 I'll start

Mind blown. Chinese stores are filled with 50 bucks flip phones. Also, phones are used in shops, restaurants and public transport for ordering and paying. Who is this phone aimed at?

@commodoreofcl I extend a genuine offer to help design & bring to life a new C= Retro electronics product the community wants to buy. Let’s make it happen. Commodore ‘NEXT’ design, just sitting here. Quad SID Synth music unit. Commodore modular Laptop / Pocket PC And more…

In my head, I was hoping for...

what the F have they been smoking , dear god

I will try to stay polyte. It's VERY dissapointing. And the price is an expensive JOKE.

I love Commodore, but you guys need a (new) marketing team IMMEDIATELY to survive! Thus far we had - C64Us (with in-factory cracked cases) shipping without QA - answers from customer-service that take 3-4 weeks - a product (phone) that completely misses the target audience ...

He's flipping off the fans. This is a big middle finger to anyone who thought he was the man with the plan.

Good grief, some of these comments are absolutely TOXIC! I really want to see a new Amiga too, but Commodore, as a company, can't survive by just resurrecting retro hardware. This looks interesting to say the least.

Ill say it again. @commodoreofcl ask what you can do for the brand and not what the brand can do for you.

So all that hype for a dumb phone?! A hard no for me.

Love Your company - Commodore❤️ but respectfully thanks no thanks… Jokingly - You are smoking some strong stuff, please share it😊 Seriously - I get the idea of getting kids (and adults) off the phones👍🏻 It would be nice for say $50, but guys? PS. Great promo movie/commercial😎

Please don’t release this. You guys are gonna bankrupt the company :( :(

At least if you released this on April Fools Day you could backtrack without too much damage.

This is a prank, right? Right?

Sorry, but I just can't see how this could in any way help fund the future of Commodore. And in my mind that is what should be the priority for Commodore: prosper to be able to release great new products in the long run.

Is Perry whatever is name is smoking crack? That looks like something I'd find in Tescos for £50

Should have called it the ballsack.

Commodore releasing a flip phone in 2026 was not on my bingo card.

Love you Commodore, but...

I'm keeping an open mind and not buying into any outrage. If it's not for me then I see nothing positive coming from using it as a stick to beat the company into the ground over. Maybe there's a market for this, and maybe it's not middle aged C64 users, and maybe that's ok too.

As a long and historic Commodore fanatic, i would buy instantly, but boy this is expensive af. I dunno guys.

With all due respect, I believe this is going to fail, and it would be a shame if a venture that started so well were to go down the drain because of a product that doesn't work. Peri still has a lot of potential: publishing games on cartridges like the new Atari, peripherals♥️

Wow. That is EXPENSIVE. Love you but similar dumb phones cost sod all these days

My guess is most people were waiting an Amiga 500 announcement. Also there was some video mentioning monitor, printer, joystick, etc, so this feels disappointing. My opinion is Commodore needs to grow back the ecosystem around the computers not side products at least for now

I am not the Flipphone person but I like it very much seeing you pushing SailfishOS as iOS and Android alternative. Please let follow a more standard shaped smartphone that is more Commodore too. There had been a stylish rumor around some time ago. Make it real with SailfishOS 👍

Not interested. Just want a replica Amiga 1200

Ooof... that's quite a ratio. Might want to tell everyone it's a late April Fools joke and get a damn A1200 or CRT to market already.
