Commodore Callback 8020 goes on pre-order for a lower price

Commodore announced its $499 Callback 8020 flip phone a couple of weeks ago, and apparently people didn’t like the price. So now the device has gone up for pre-order as promised, but it starts at $399. That’s some magic trick – making the product 20% cheaper before even launching it.

Part of this is explained by the fact that the $399 price includes « eco-validated » RAM and storage, which means they’re « remanufactured », aka reused, aka recycled, whatever you want to call it. If you want your RAM and storage to be new, you need to pay an extra $50 and then you’re up to $449.

Anyway,…
