Well, hell, Id say: sign me up!
Give me 10 Freedom phones and a side ofmaking shit great again.
First though, lets take a look at what were getting into.
I love Freedom as much as the next person but Im also a technology journalist.
And that means I can tell you howawesome this is!
Behold the the badass Freedom phone!
40% off TNW Conference!
I mean, they could be.
But, well, its a hoot.
Do you love Freedom?
Are you a liberal, communist, piece of America-hating crap like Obama?
Then why are you using the same phone as a liberal, communist, piece of America-hating crap?
This is the first major pushback on the Big Tech companies that attacked us for just thinking different.
Complete with it’s own Uncensorable App Store & Privacy Features.
Words like uncensorable, capitalized above, are meaningless buzzwords employed to attract conservatives who know little-to-nothing about tech.
But we know smart phones here at TNW.
OurPluggedsub-brand has some of the finest reviewers in the business.
And weve reviewed hundreds (if not thousands) of smart phones over the years.
So trust me when I tell you that itsalwaysa bad sign when a manufacturer wont disclose technical specs.
What wedo knowis that Finmans phone is cobbled together from Chinese parts and features a hodge-podge OS.
And its almost certainly because this phone has shit hardware and a shittier OS.
Furthermore, theres no such thing as uncensorable.
Finman is preying on ignorance.
App stores take a certain percentage of revenue to get to facilitate seamless transactions.
In this case, there will be next to no revenue for anyone participating in Finmans scam.
Freedom Phone only needs to sell a few hundred thousand units for Finman to make another million or so.
But lets imagine youre in an online eco-system with 500K other users.
Because your phone, OS, internet tool, or app store isnt whats censoring them.
Theyre not being censored.
And a smart phone isnt a platform.
A Freedom Phone cant connect you to something that doesnt exist.
At the end of the day, this is a $500legalscam.
Finmans selling you a phone.
As long as it functions at all, hell have lived up to his end of the contract.
But youre almost certainly getting a piece of shit phone with a barely-functioning OS that absolutely uncensors nothing.
Heres the worst part: Erik Finman knows exactly what hes doing.
I said wed get to him, here we go.
I started covering the Teenage Bitcoin millionaire back in 2018.
Finman and I talked several times, though if I recall correctly I only wrotetwostoriesabout him.
Finmans one of the most intelligent people Ive interviewed.
But heres the thing: from what I hear, Lindells pillows are actually pretty damn good.
This phone is almost certainly shit.
And anyone with even the tiniest amount of tech savvy is going to avoid it.
Most of us wouldnt.
And the key in of person who would probably isnt reading TNW right now to get this warning.
Theyre about to get scammed.
And I dont think they deserve it.
And if Im wrong:Im willing to eat an entire fresh-baked humble pie.
Send me a review unit Erik.
Ill put my journalistic integrity on the line and give it a completely honest review.
