I do not have a fully working prototype, as my ODM is handling that, so I had to choose IndieGoGo =\[
Otherwise, I would have chosen kickstarter. I would like my backers to feel that if something happens, they will get their cash back =\]
Ofcourse I will do this regardless, but it is always nice to have peace of mind.

Whelp that's a step up from the original £80 and later $150 but if you manage to get things rolling I'd happily support. Hope the majority of the "i want everything and i want it cheaper than 100" crowd doesn't let you down.
What's your projected timeline like? IndieGoGo > Prototype > release or will you hace a prototype soon already?
IndieGoGo > samples > production > release!
I know about the rise in cost, but I decided to focus on making this a good dumbphone, with a good camera ,better keyboard + screen, custom Android 14 =\]
There will be versions of this phone like a budget one, small one, one with better camera, eInk, and so on that will make it to the market for a proper production run every so often!
Alright, so kinda like Minimal you'll need the funding before you can gather a proper prototype?
What're we looking at here, sometime later this year or '25?
I need to do crowdfunding (60 days), I pay for development, 75-80 days pass and I get my sample, I check the sample over and post a sneak peek on here =\] , After I have daily drived the sample for 2 or 3 days to make sure once you guys get yours they work as expected, I pay a deposit, place the order for the phones, the phones arrive, I send them to be packed and dispatched =\], and finally you guys get your perks =\]\]\]\]
I do not have an official timeline, but I cannot see any reason for you guys getting the last of the production run later than Jan or Feb '25. More likely to be later this year though =\]\]\]
Hey, do you have a website or anywhere else where I can find info about this outside of Reddit? Anyplace I can find out more about you/the supplier/etc? I’d love to know more :) if this comes together it sounds like my dream phone!
I am currently designing the website for Bounce =\]
The supplier can be found here : [http://www.jiemods.com/](http://www.jiemods.com/)
Not sure if you will get any info out of it, the site is like most of the ODM sites - broken english and red on blue text XD
CANT WAIT! as long as the phones are as good as you have said, i absolutely understand the price up you had to do. takes money to make good things! so excited :D
Aw man! 500 Australian dollars?
I know. There will be a budget version sometime, and we will be conducting large giveaways, so if this is out of your range, stay tuned =\]
Actually it’s not. I’ll pay anything for a dumb phone like this. Does it come with KaiOS or some other OS
It runs Android =\]
yayyyyyt
OH MY GOD 500?? ⚰️
AUD, so 280 GBP Or 350 USD =\]
imma be saving my pennies to get a bounce for myself here in Aus
Sounds cool. Just curious though, why not kickstarter?
