@sun @whirly I'd say 200-250, I'm aware designing these things probably ain't cheap, but come on

@coolboymew @whirly if you can't hit 300 you shouldn't even make the product. 250 is expensive

@sun @whirly @coolboymew I'm indifferent tbh, while I love the amigas, I'm indifferent for the brand itself.

But I've started to get suspicious about this trademark deal after this post on their blogs

While I know they walked it back, it was mainly due community pressure and not from their goodwill

@monkey @whirly @Hyperhidrosis huh, weird

If it can run modern apps then the price makes a bit more sense

@whirly @coolboymew It's stupid expensive. Actual flip phones were cheap except for a few flagships.

@lolitechengineer @coolboymew @whirly Yep that one was the exception when it came out. But it dropped in price very fast.
