Commodore selling $800 flip phone as digital detox flex

Someone at a lifestyle magazine got really excited about Commodore launching a retro flip phone positioned as the solution to your phone addiction, complete with glowing LED displays to make disconnecting look cool. It's the kind of 'intentional disconnection' product that only exists to make affluent people feel virtuous about buying expensive nostalgia. The real slop isn't the phone—it's the implication that rejecting connectivity is now a luxury brand experience you have to purchase.
