This seems less like a consumer phone than it does one used by telco technicians.
I have something similar in bakelite from the 40s/50s.

It features
With easily replaceable batteries it would be a lifelong product
It's a kit you build yourself, so the rechargeable batteries are totally replaceable
I'm not sure how you'd dial the number 1
I have an irregular phone. My phone has no five.
The silver finger stop actually rotates quite a bit before it actually “stops” the rotary dial.
The finger-stopper thing rotates with the wheel about 35 degrees so the “1” actually stops where the “0” is at the start.
Want! Must have!! Gimmee!!!
Seems pointless
It’s not supposed to be practical.
You can dial without sight. Can also be used with gloves.
I bet it would be great for an older person who can't fathom a iOS interface.
I saw a vid about this phone, is extremely dumb and incredibly hard to use and is literally a fucking gimmick that took teh designer years to "perfect" and still, is fucking cool as heck.
In her defense, she's pretty much doing it all herself.
yeah and like it is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar nad I mean FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR too much infrastructure work than I ever imagined. I mean one would asume that all you need was turning the trrrrrs of the rotor into beeeps for the tone system but boy it was waaaaaaaaay deeper than that.
I’d buy it
I did. 2 years ago. Still waiting for it.
Have you revieved it yet?
Nope. She’s run into a lot of issues with chip shortage, and now mandatory FCC license certification. I’m hopeful this time next year.
Oh damn that's unfortunate. Another year of waiting sucks.
The creator is expanding from a one person basement operation to a proper small business with actual employees, so I expect that things will start moving in the positive in the next 6 months. She has an investor as well, so should be able to expand successfully. Once FCC cert is received, she will be able to sell completely assembled phones, which will broaden the market immensely.
