Oh, I get it. It's because they don't have any phones on their heads.
Minimal Phone founded by the Bald Company
The venn diagram of minimalists and bald guys has significant overlap.
"We promise" 😂
You have a blinking screen.
Do this half as much as Minisforum, Nothing, Framework, and maybe we'll listen to your shit pitch.
Better companies are already here with more than promises.
It already has more than 1k backers last i checked, but looks like they are still in designing phase. It looks good, hope they can deliver
Can you replace the battery?
Only minimally
I think it's a great idea. I'm really tempted by a phone with primarily productivity functionality and a qwerty keyboard.
For $400 I could buy one or two refurbished iPhones and not use them.
I've been following this and am intrigued, but the combo of the high price, crowdfunding, and lack of even a functioning prototype to show off has me skeptical enough to not throw down money in advance for one.
If it actually comes out and they don't go bankrupt during the design/manufacturing process, and if the phone is actually good, then I'd definitely consider buying one. I like the concept a lot.
Let me guess, it will cost as much as a normal smartphone but with less? The page doesnt even load on my side.
their indiegogo page has more info, but yeah their main site is down
If I wanted a truly minimal phone, I would go for the Rotary Un-Phone.
Are there plans for a Maximal with a bottle opener?
