Commodore (or some entity now calling itself Commodore) is releasing a flip phone.

Smartphones are mindlessly seamless by design. Callback is built around a simple research-backed finding: remove features designed to pull you back in, & reintroduce physical friction like a speed bump for the mind.

We turned these principles into a phone you can live with every day. And like any great multi-tool, when you're done using it, you snap it shut -- a deliberate endpoint instead of another invitation to scroll.

Close the phone. Open your life.

Headphone jack; removable battery; microSD; no AI; blocks web browsers and social media. From the FAQ:

• Can the browser or social media blocks be turned off?
No. Callback is built around those blocks. That is the point.

I never became fluent in T9, but now I think I shall.
