Neat concept, but the website and the ad on it are so pretentious that I cannot take them seriously.

If you are selling a phone then show me the phone, its specs, what buttons it has, what ports it has, how long the battery lasts..

Instead we get "It's an experience we call going light." "We're humans, we are taking back our lives."

Give me a break.

I also don't see why anyone would pay $300+ for the same tech as a $30 prepaid flip phone you can get at any gas station.

Well those flip phones aren't built with the same intentions. This phone was made to be distraction free as much as is practical. It restricts me in ways that I appreciate. I have zero ways to check email, reddit, etc.
