Commodore Brand Makes a Return on Smartphones

Commodore Brand Makes a Return on Smartphones

If you are my age, you probably have had a Commodore computer. Commodore computers had THE products to buy back in the mid-1980s. I 've had Commodore C16, 64, 128 and well I'll be honesty here, any Commodore Amiga you can imagine. 

The products died after the OC revolution, the brand Commodore however was sold and sold and then sold again. Right now there is news, Commodore will return .. on smartphones. An Italian company that owns the Commodore branding has registered Commodore in 38 countries under Commodore PET using the original Commodore logo. To keep nostalgia at an all time high the smartphone will run the VICE C64-emulator and even Uae4All2-SDL Amiga-emulator.

Aside from the naming, this really is an Android Smartphone with 5.5" screen at 1920x1080 and Gorilla glass cover. The processor used is a Mediatek-octacore with 1,7GHz clocks and a Mali T760-graphics unit. At the backside you will spot a 13mp camera, at the fron an 8mp camera. There will be two models, one with 16GB storage capacity and 2GB RAM. There will also be a 32GB storage and 3GB ram version. The models cost 275 and 330 EURO respectively.

The Commodore smartphones will be introduced in Italy, France, Germany and Poland first, other countries will follow.

Nostalgia people ...

Commodore Amiga was a hype back in the years, I went through the C16, C64, C128, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200 and Amiga 2000 myself so nostalgia does kick in a little.

I had an Amstrad CPC 464 with a colour monitor, much better. ;)

The phone is cool though, I'll check it out in more detail once it goes on sale.

I knew this was coming and really pleased with it, i still have a C16, C64, Vic 20 and Amiga and the Pet was the very first computer that i used as they were in school and where i learnt to program. I wrote a game on the C64 many years ago but was mainly a musician on the C64 & Amiga, very good times they were too but great to see the CBM brand back again i must admit even if it has been rebranded more times than it should have been but damn you Escom.
