Commodore, the once-iconic computer brand of the 1980s, is making a comeback. This time, it’s with a smartphone called the Callback 8020—a device designed to keep you away from digital distractions. Without social media or email apps, this phone runs on a custom interface that lets you use essential apps like Uber and Spotify while keeping your attention firmly grounded.

The 8020 name is a nod to their old modem, the 8010, while its design harks back to simpler times. The device has no browser or email app, but does offer T9 typing for those who prefer physical keys over swipes and taps. It’s available in five colours, with prices starting at $500.

Commodore CEO Christian Simpson says the company is positioning itself as a digital minimalist brand, offering a phone that feels like stepping back to early-2000s technology—a trend that seems to resonate with people seeking a break from constant connectivity. The Callback 8020 aims to be a statement piece, encouraging users to make intentional decisions about their tech use.

The phone comes with its own app store based on Sailfish's Aurora Store and features a removable battery and in-ear monitors for audio enthusiasts. It also includes an FM radio tuner and a 48-megapixel camera with procedurally generated filters, making it look like your footage is from the '90s. While some might find this approach limiting, others will see it as a refreshing break from the overwhelming digital world.
