Nice, but a little bit too thin on details to read this as more than "we ordered a Commodore-branded Sailfish-OS phone from an ODM".
If it would be more "considerate" from hardware (or even software) perspective it could be compelling, but from the infos on that page it sounds more like a "memberberry" product
(like e.g. a phone from Kodak, Sega, Atari,... built on the business decision of [product-cost] + [branding] = [potential price-premium of xxx USD])
- branon 4mo ago> we ordered a Commodore-branded Sailfish-OS phone from an ODM Is this true? I did some research on flip phones the other week and I didn't turn up anything running Sailfish. Options seemed limited to * custom AOSP derivatives (Punkt, Sunbeam, Kyocera, others - most common) * older KaiOS devices (Nokia 2780 and friends) * Nokia S30+ devices (traditional proprietary feature-phone firmware, somehow Nokia is still producing these) Are there any other examples of Sailfish phones being vendored similar to how Commodore is doing theirs?
- philistine 4mo agoNot in North America, no but that's what people are saying; they simply imported the structure of SailfishOS that's used in other parts of the world.
- trollbridge 4mo agoRight, but you can't get a usable Sailfish phone in America right now. We tried using it on a Sony Xperia which was basically the only usable option, and that option also died once AT&T changed the details of their voice network and it was no longer possible to place 3G phone calls.
