Commodore’s latest gadget is a mobile phone that blocks social media and browsers

“We are determined to do this in a safe and efficient way for everyone, and we will be in discussions with the Callback team over the next few months to ensure this,” he said.

The Callback 8020 runs the Linux Sailfish OS operating system, which is developed by Jolla, a mobile company. developed by Nokia employees in 2012 that they also make phones.

Per Commodore, its phone supports “over 99 percent of Android apps” through Sailfish OS’s Android Rutime social networking app, including Spotify, Signal, and WhatsApp. Commodore also equipped the phone with some games from the Commodore 64 era.

Other online applications, such as WhatsApp, will work.

To reduce distractions, the phone uses a dome-shaped LED light that lights up when you have a message. Commodore thinks this will be less intrusive than pop-up messages, but I bet the phone light will attract attention.

The old Nokia 3360/3595 owner in me is very interested in another interesting feature: the ability to swap phone covers and put a cable charm on the case.

Additionally, the exterior of the mobile phone is designed to resemble Commodore calculators of the 1970s and is painted red.

As a former Nokia phone user, I’m glad to hear that the phone should allow you to change the cover and allow you to integrate the cable charm into the case.

For audio, the Callback 8020 uses an 8-bit SID player, a music player built into the SID (sound interface) chip in the original Commodore 64. The phone also has what Commodore claims is the highest quality, on-board DAC, integrated FM radio, and 3.5mm jack, and comes with two monitors.
