If I were to get one, I would certainly get beige... just bought a nice beige mechanical keyboard. I don't think I would pay $500 for it. $150 to $200 maybe.

I got my youngest child an AOSP flip phone. I'm semi happy with it. You can't install apps on it (so no Signal, but also no Subway Surfers). But on the other hand, it has a web browser, which is a big hole; the web browser is good enough to show postage-stamp-sized YouTube.

The Commodore flip phone would be kind of usable for me as long as it could run Duo Mobile; having Signal is a big plus. Not sure it's a $500 plus. Lacking RCS is a non-trivial minus but not a deal-breaker.
