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.

Lol, did whoever set to the shop configure it in Australian dollars? 100 AUD are just about 65 USD. Given the currency fluctuation, that could just about work out.

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.

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?

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

On the upside, its good to see the Fam wasting grift money on business that are doomed to fail.

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