I'm not wasting my money on a fake dumb phone when an actual dumb phone would be cheaper and more useful

You're describing Callback's features as if they're bugs. This is a digital minimalist Linux phone by design that respects user privacy. No browser. No social feeds. Curated apps. APK sideloading support. That's the point. WhatsApp can be removed in a couple of clicks. The browser is intentionally blocked. Social feeds and email are intentionally blocked. The device is intentionally designed to reduce distraction and screen addiction. If your goal is a $30 flip phone, buy a $30 flip phone. If your goal is a privacy-focused Linux device that helps you step away from infinite scroll, doomscrolling, and algorithmic feeds, while supporting Commodore's community-supported licensing model and carrying forward the Commodore legacy, that's what Callback is. You're criticizing it for being exactly what it was designed to be. From the FAQ: image - image - image - image - image - image
