I love the foldable idea, but it's well beyond what I'm willing to pay for the novelty.

Yeah, the flip phones especially seem like a good form factor if they can make the price go down.

They already have. I think the Razr can be had at a reasonable price.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

AUD 1400 is not a reasonable price to me.
