It's a phone...you can find it under commodore.net, not a secret.

Incredibly dissappointing if true. I had much higher hopes for it than slapping a commodore logo on a flip-phone. Not worth the hype.

I've checked the site and couldn't find anything. How do we know this isn't just some AI-generated slop that's being used to troll?

We? Are you writing for everyone?

Does is look like AI generated slop? This is a true product, not my fault you can't keep up. Heh, I guess it's a young man's world after all.

To answer your question ... You really wouldn't know in this AI world we live in and since you are not part of the inside circle and you are standing outside looking in, you wouldn't have an idea. Not trying to be rude, just a simple fact. Me, I got the goodies. Well, folks, remember to sign up for a new C= phone on the 16th, weee.

See attached, pretty fancy, huh?

So where's the link? I can't find it anywhere on commodore.net?

Not sure if the comment about it being on the site is genuine or not, but Peri has a reveal video scheduled for 16th. The video has a thumbnail of something under a cover:

Note the Commodore BASIC V2 in grey on black at the top - I didn't see this until someone else pointed it out.

Yes, it does look AI generated.

That pic is without a doubt a render, anyone can see that.

Yeah. Starting to think the OP is an attention starved troll.

I found it
It seems there were a bunch of images in the uploads folder

https://commodore.net/content/uploads/2026/06/

They have now been removed - id say this lends more credence to this than not.

AI Slop or Rebadged OEM Flip-Phone Chassis Flop ? Who knows - all i can say is if it is a badge on a flip phone its undermining commodores innovation and tech. Its unlikely it will contain anything commodore derived, except maybe a reskinned OS , perhaps with some SID tunes as default ring tones. Judging by the filename behind the image @Retro_Brian_FL found in the uploads folder - it might be running KaiOS - remember Peri doenst have the resources to build a mobile phone operating system or the hardware. Best case scenario Im wrong and he's partnering with MEGA on the MEGAPhone - but i dont think thats far enough along the line yet.

polyp2000, close, but no cigar!

Was going to do another reveal however, after the different comments and like on comment(s) - I am now offended!

Just go out and buy the d#mn phone!

What an insane marketing misstep, and brand dilution to boot.

Who wanted this? Was anyone clamoring for a flip phone in 2026, much less one that for some reason has Commodore branding?

Oh dear, I really hope it isn't the phone. There's going to be an awful lot of people disappointed or angry tomorrow if it is.
