Commodore's Callback 8020: A flip phone that blocks social media and browsers while supporting Android apps

Summary

Commodore has announced the Callback 8020, a flip phone running Sailfish OS (a Linux-based OS from Jolla) that blocks social media and browsers by design. The phone supports over 99% of Android apps through a compatibility layer, including Spotify, Signal, and WhatsApp. Commodore emphasizes a privacy-focused approach where "the customer is not the product," and plans to consult with the Callback community over the coming months to determine fair and safe implementation of the device's restrictions.
