They all sold out and they are all packed in one dudes garage. The actual sale of them will take place over the next year over a series of ebay auction, as is tradition for limited edition things.

It's $299, which isn't ridiculous for a phone, but this is kind of gimmicky with its Magic 8-Ball thing and, of course, its celebrity backing. I don't know, I guess it's not the worst price point, but considering you can get low-end Android phones for that with more functionality, I'm also guessing the people buying it are not really worried about the price.

There's only 250 made, that's why it sold out.

It’s 30 dollars of technology.

Considered this phone but couldn't commit to something like that, nor can I justify such a price tag for that. Instead I'm attempting to dumb down my phone. Moving to GrapheneOS and starting from the basics is definitely a good starting point.

I hate minimalism! This is a dumb phone that got rid of everything that made dumb phones charming.

I have owned the Light Phone 1 and the Light Phone 2 -- both were built with the intent to stay connected in a handful of ways without needing to have a full-spec'd, app-heavy, typically-sized smart phone.

If the intent and the vibe make sense to you, then it is a wonderful approach for a more 'minimalist' device: you can go outdoors, travel, hike, camp, etc., without having a smart phone to pick up and play with. I dig it.

If the intent and vibe don't make sense to you, the Light Phone may not be a good fit.

I really like the device, and use it often enough as a daily driver on weekends. Always glad to see some public attention on it.

Ridiculous price for a dumb phone

Let's be honest, he could sell poop in a ziploc bag and his fans would buy it.

I hardly text and your call is going to voice mail. Phone things are not the reason I have a smartphone. I'd be happy with an updated Palm Pilot with connectivity.

Who?

You can go buy one right now. These have been out for years.

Missing lte band 71. Hope the buyers don’t have T-Mobile in an area that’s b71 only.

Not so dumb if it has voice recognition...
