The Commodore Callback 8020 is a nostalgic rejection of modern smartphones.

The blocking of browsers might be a tipping point for me, and I'm sure others. Their FAQ basically treats it like a too-tempting cheat to get on social media. It feels a bit like I'm being parented.

That said, for anyone who just wants a phone for calls/texts and maybe GPS & music, this is pretty perfect.
