Two pieces of computing history just met.

Commodore is returning to phones, and it chose Jolla's Sailfish OS to do it. The Commodore Callback 8020 is a flip phone built for stepping away from the feed: privacy designed in, your data kept yours.

@jolla Anyone looking for a Commodore-branded 2000s-style flip phone running a Linux-based mobile operating system? (See post above.)

@jolla Cool! It's even got an ear picker!

(Yes, it's the antenna, but it has multifunctional applications 😁 )

@jolla I would have preferred proper qwerty keyboard. But using the only European mobile OS is a plus.

@jolla Not sure about the blocking web browser and social media part, just let the user do whatever they want. I have no problem with that as the default setting, just let the user unlock it later on. Do not act like the parent of the user.

@jolla the more #sailfishos powered devices the better!

And now: Can I get my #Amiga phone with a blackberry type keyboard? All in Amiga styling and plastic?

@jolla Not sure I like their marketing, but I like light phones. Any idea how much is this supposed to weight? (And is it real? I have not seen antennas on cellphones for a while...)

@jolla I hope you retained control of OS updates. KaiOS made that mistake. Among others. Their non inconsiderable number of devices slid into obscurity also because carriers refused to update the bug ridden, security compromised KaiOS 2 and 3.

@jolla I tipped GsmArena for this and they gave it some coverge, in their usual half-nonchalant way... https://m.gsmarena.com/commodore_announces_callback_8020_the_mobile_phone_between_dumb_and_smart-news-73304.php

Kerfuffle

kerfuffle@mastodon.online

@jolla I'm trying to be positive about it but saying privacy was designed in while also preinstalling WhatsApp suggests you don't really understand privacy.

But otherwise... I am intruiged

@jolla when they say "99% of Android apps will run, not on Android", is that generally true statement for all Sailfish OS devices?
Has the compatibility layer truly become so powerful?
I am waiting for my Jolla phone (batch 3) and I am ready to compromise on apps, but if true, it would be great, because I won't need to compromise so much after all.

@jolla The fact that there's a Meta app on the screen in all the promotional photos makes the privacy wanking look very dishonest.
