No, Commodore's next project isn't an Amiga remake, it's a flip phone with 2000s vibes that's already prepped to deal with the under-16s UK social media ban

Following the success of its wonderful Commodore 64 Ultimate microcomputer remake, you'd perhaps expect the revived tech giant to make a fancy new FPGA Amiga. However, two weeks ago, CEO Christian Simpson (AKA YouTuber Peri Fractic) declared that the company can't "survive solely on nostalgia," which has somehow led today to the announcement of a flip phone that reeks of the 2000s.

That's right, the next big Commodore International release is the Callback 8020. As I've already spoiled, it's a flip phone. It also uses physical numerical keys instead of a touchscreen. You know, like a flip phone? I know for a fact I'll have already lost my younger readers who arrived on Earth just in time for the iPhone, but stick with me, as this phone isn't just for old-school calls and texts.
