Announced a short time ago, the Callback 8020 is seen as a means of combating the addictive lure of the modern-day smartphone. While it supports Android apps via its SailfishOS, it disables features like web browsing and social media by default.
However, despite the noble quest for a ‘digital detox’, the phone met with a somewhat frosty reception online (no pun intended), with many comparing it to an elderly relative’s flip phone. In our poll, 70 percent of you said you wouldn’t be buying one.
I do think the Ultimate C64 is very nice. If it came out 5-6 years ago I would have bought it. By the time it came out tho, I have already put together a couple of my own “ultimate” C64s. For someone who is starting from scratch I would certainly suggest a Commodore Ultimate.
For me, I’ve been hoping they would do something more like the Mega65.
