there's a whole community of people who dedicate time to make even old WAP Phones useable again in 2026 - and that costs like 20€ instead of 499$

If you're going to spend that much on a SailfishOS phone you might as well get a good one.
That seems pretty neat. I like that it's a "dumb" phone that can still use most apps.
Price seems a bit steep at $600, though.
Only a bit?
I understand custom hardware isn't cheap, but this comes preloaded with WhatsApp apparently. Surely there's a little kickback from Facebook for that.

I could see myself using this as a daily driver.
Same. I'm eyeing that translucent one because they sure did hit that nostalgia button for me on a translucent cell phone from the early 00s.

Although they’re filling it with “free albums and more.” So they’re actually installing more unwanted shit than Apple did a decade ago. Ugh.
So another ^^~~stupid~~ ^~~nonsensical~~ ~~weird~~ unexpected turn in the Commodore company epos. At least it is consistent with the lore.
I'm not interested in commodore or its phones but I do hope the company makes enough money to stay in business, the world is a better place with commodore in it
It's literally just a name. This company has nothing to do with the Commodore you remember.
I watched the video on YouTube where what's his name announced the purchase, he seemed like a weird old nerd who actually liked and wanted to make this work.
