No, Commodore's next project isn't an Amiga remake, it's a flip phone with 2000s vibes that's already prepped to deal with the under-16s UK social media ban
Commodore has announced its next product, the Callback 8020, a flip phone designed with a 2000s aesthetic and featuring physical keys. Running on Sailfish OS, it offers access to apps like WhatsApp and Spotify but blocks social media and web browsing to combat distraction. CEO Christian Simpson aims to provide a 'not dumb dumbphone' experience, inspired by his own switch to a minimal phone.
