Commodore Callback 8020 retro flip phone keeps drawing attention
The revived Commodore brand is preparing a retro flip phone designed to cut social media and browser distractions while keeping practical apps.

It is not a gaming handheld, but with Commodore nostalgia, classic-style touches and anti-distraction positioning, retro tech fans are absolutely going to stare at it like it contains 1980s magic.
