"We Listened" - Commodore Reduces The Price Of Its Forthcoming Callback 8020 'Dumbphone' (www.timeextension.com)

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.

You can also sign up for the waitlist for an additional $50 off the price at preorder, which begins June 30. Not sure if they'll be checking that your email address is on the waitlist to use the code, but it's a generic code.

Done! You can use the code CHICKENLIPS at checkout on June 30th for a total of $100 off!
