Commodore's retro-themed Callback 8020 flip phone has opened for preorders at a reduced $399, with an early promo lowering the price to $349 despite continued criticism that it remains costly for a Linux-based "digital detox" device. Fan reaction has intensified after a promotional trailer featuring generative AI elements drew backlash, even as Commodore defends its "limited, transparent AI use" and says early interest in the device has exceeded expectations.
