The website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70. I received a confirmation email saying I’ll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped, but I haven’t provided a shipping address or paid the full $499 price tag. It is the worst experience I’ve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how I’ll receive the phone.

I look forward to learning more about how terrible these phones turn out.

Imagine if earlier fascists were as corrupt with conflicts of interests. Maybe we could call via the Adolfone.

Weird. Mussolini’s greatest achievement was at a gas station.

Is this one of the ways that Palantir plans to do mass surveillance? I would not be surprised.

These are gonna be worse than the DethKlok phone, and that thing has spikes that stab your face when you use it.

Of course the phone is gold. Does it come with a stylus shaped like a golf club and diaper as well? Or are those extra?

Edit: Looked the specs. It has a headphone jack and expandable memory. How can Trump get that right and most phone manufacturers can't?

Because it's almost certainly an old, low spec device that they've bought a job lot of on clearance.

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.
