Congrats to nothing for removable covers without removable batteries.

*Truely revolutionary idea*

They had such an incredible opportunity to make the battery easily hot swappable and instead we just end up with a fun gimmick.

I'm getting feeling that 3D printing community is gonna be crazy with this phone

Someone told me CMF stands for Cheap M----r F----r, which I found pretty funny. I love this design.

[UnnecessaryInventions]

This thing is just waiting for me to design some accessories for it.

[Mrwhosetheboss]

So happy to see something actually new, makes me want to buy a 3D printer and start designing accessories 😂

The lanyard is pretty useful for photographers and concert managers/crews.

Having cellphone in pocket while moving around is a pain and we always lose it when we set it somewhere

I just ordered one, I've been waiting for an interesting budget phone to buy, upgrading from a honor10 I bought 6 years ago !

Removable battery is honestly a missed opportunity. It could be very interesting part of this phone!

"CMF Phone 1 by Nothing" sounds like a phone you'd see in South Park

[iam.ab_]

So pretty much anything that could be acheived by a phone case!
Amaaazing !

Wish I had seen this 4 months ago before I replaced my phone. I like that this one fits in the hand better. Most phones are way too large to sit comfortably and I hate them. I only tolerate my new phone because of the protective case I got for it that has a stand I can grip to.

Lanyards are very popular in cities with a lot of pickpockets as you wrap it around your hand/arm and makes it harder to steal your phone. In Barcelona I saw many phones with one.

Having a removable back without a replaceable battery and other components and that too made consciously is straight up foul by Nothing!

[MrRenoo]

What we lack in phones nowadays is innovation. And CMF is doing it 🎉

[TooBlaked]

The thumb screw accessory thing is cool. Could see some people having fun with 3D prints.

[RoboOptimus]

It kinda reminds me of the Nokia button phones my parents used to use 20 years ago. They had removable plastic shells that could fit both the front and the back, came in different colors, and could be purchased separately at a cheap price. Pretty nostalgic, actually!

[bruxis]

The "non-replaceable" battery is such a super weird move

[patrikneborak]

Was about to order it, but the no NFC is a deal breaker

[GFourGadget]

It's a nice little gimmick for sure, on top of an already attractive phone for 200 dollars. Won't call it game changing but it's cool to have some DIY elements on a boring slab!
