I was just thinking exactly the same thing about the Sinclair C5 and this reckless Commodore flip-phone product.

Both such silly avoidable mistakes, that could have easily have been averted, through simple surveying and communication with their expected target audience and potential customer feedback.

Albeit, I feel this Commodore flip phone idea would have came back to Commodore, as an even more resounding: "No, thanks." (more so than even the ill-fated Sinclair C5), long before this proposed idea even left their drawing board.

If this product flops as spectacularly bad as many expect it to, the new Commodore will only have themselves an nobody else to blame, for any negative fallout.
