    But it has "5000mAh long life camera". Seems good to me.

    Idk the exact number but the camera in my phone probably weighs like a gram or so, so Einstein tells me I'm carrying about 25,000,000 kWh in the camera alone, which if served at 5V would be ~ 5,000,000,000 5,000,000,000,000 mAh.

    Guess I'm winning.

    Edit: mafs.

    Can't wait to read from which part of China this "American built" phone is made

    Yeah, if they're not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.

    You are not joking. Comparing a $2000 Purism Liberty with eg. a $200 HMD Fusion. The Fusion has somewhat better screen and battery; much better processor and camera. More RAM, the option of more storage, has NFC. It's also designed to be easy-to-maintain, but is somewhat thinner and lighter despite having a larger screen area. Are 'made in USA' and 'open-source drivers' worth paying 10x as much for a noticeably worse phone? (It's not really 'made in USA' either - it's a mix of US, Chinese and Indian parts assembled in the USA.)

    I think that the people who believe a US-made iPhone will also cost $2k are kidding themselves - economy of scale and all that, but it must be substantially more.

    Hey, the "building" of a phone is the part where Mercans put in those tiny screws, as suggested by Administration staff. The low-tech stuff, like fabricating doublesided circuit boards and the microcircuit and mucrowave filter parts mounted on them, all that easy cheap stuff can be done by other people to support the screwers.

    For the people buying it, the product itself doesn’t matter. It’s got Trump’s name on it and the money they spend goes to him, so he can “own the libs”

    “a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States.”

    It depends on how they define "built."

    The Moto X was touted as being built in the US, it was assembled in Texas with parts made in Asia.

    I believe the Made in USA Labeling Act passed 2021 would prevent following the Moto X approach of just final assembly, but I suppose it's up to trump's FTC to make the final call regardless, easy enough for them to issue an exception.

    Specifically:

    it is an unfair or deceptive act or practice within the meaning to label any product as Made in the United States unless the final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.

    Biometals are way cooler anyways. Copper? Zinc? Cobalt? Molybdenum? Iron? Tin? Manganese?

    All these are essential to our life and provide actual use compared to the utter lifeless and obsolete gold that only serves greed among the ghouls chasing it.

    eventually it will be illegal to use anything but Trump products

    and at some point Trump to want to be the calendar, too.

    edit: and that phone will prolly turn off if you record the police; and I can't imagine the amount of spying on users that that phone must do.

    $47

    Too high. Tello is $25 for Unlimited in the states and is also an MVNO, and not owned by fascists(at least not openly).

    Not only is it survailance tech, not that a normal phone isn't, but it isn't competitive. More trash from the Trump Dump.

    I'm calling it, it won't come out. I just doubt it will happen.

    If it does, it's a rebranded phone wrapped in fake gold leaf, like the Pablo Escobar phone. https://www.pcmag.com/news/the-phone-from-pablo-escobars-brother-is-just-a-galaxy-fold-covered-in

    I think this is a great idea. Will make it easy to identify which people I should never speak to again.

    Trump really is trying to be hitler. He even invented his own “star of David” in the form of a phone.

  • [–] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

    Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

    Now I'm in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don't remember what my plan is but it's something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

    Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

  • source
  • hideshow 3 child comments

    Not really. I'm on Visible Wireless prepay and pay $25/month for unlimited data, including unlimited hotspot (rate limited at 5 mb/s on the hotspot).

    If it's a post-pay plan, then it might be competitive, as the rates are around what you remember for those. Since they're talking about a $500 phone instead of "free with plan," I'm assuming it's prepaid where you have to buy the phone separately.

    Edit: okay, read the article and it's prepaid. It's not a good value and is easily beat my several existing services.

    Nah, I pay about $25 a month for unlimited talk, text, and 35 GB of high speed data before being dropped from priority. It helps its a MVNO, which is the term for companies that use the networks and infrastructure of the big 3 cellular telecomms without needing to physically maintain them.

  • Trump like a mob boss keeps the "heat" away from him as much as possible. He'll let his cult army march around with their swastikas, and if asked "knows nothing about it". And he'll turn around and instruct the same people he doesn't know anything about to "stand back and stand by".

    Never gonna happen. Its a grift. See how you have to give them 100 dollars down now, get phone at later date,( to be announced) It's a scam. Says phones are made in America. We don't make phones here and all experts say it would take years to do so if we tried.

    Why do we need celebrity owned cell carriers? This article makes it sound like a bad thing Ryan Reynolds’s exited Mint, but at least the stars of arrested development still have a cell provider.

    I mean WTF, I like that there is competition but what the fuck is wrong with us that we prefer celebrity endorsement to actual features, value, longevity, etc.

    I know it’s a bigger question than what I’m asking but this is all part of the rot that our economy is experiencing. All vibes, all promises, all scams, this country runs on nothing but grift.
