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.

Let me guess. It's a rebranded Chinese phone that typically goes for like 50 bucks?

The US is a failed state. There's no other way to put it.

Failing, not failed. Don’t give up! Things could get a lot worse, we’re nowhere near the bottom. They could also get better.

It’s not for lack of a better term. It’s just accurate.

There is hidden significance and symbolism throughout the device for those dedicated trumpies to uncover. For example, one easter egg is that the length of the screen is exactly 4x the length of trump’s dick.

And they prolly didn't measure it diagonally either. Only straight. As God intended or something.

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

Never ceases to embarrass this nation

It's like that Trump watch with the T missing. "I was expecting something with the integrity of the President". Yeah, you got that.

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

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

Dunkin Hills approved

It also could be used as a weapon.

Fucking solid reference

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?

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 15 points 16 hours ago

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.
