~~"Blocks" is hyperbolic, but~~ it's definitely going to add friction to the process. The screen is small (although apparently a touchscreen), the keyboard is T9.
Edit: Good Lord, it's not hyperbolic. They're jockeying for selling devices that can be locked down by one party before being handed to another.
Certainly feels like they're claiming more than just journalistic hyperbole
Huh. Guess I wasn't paying attention.
An optional feature apparently.
If a web browser can charge you an extra $60 to offer you not AI or cryptocurrency wallets, then maybe Commodore can charge you an extra $400 (vs a similar KaiOS phone) to offer you not a web browser.
