I was about to get the (2a) phone and bundle it with the 2024 ear but opted to wait for this edition. After watching the premiere on YT, now I’m really, really disappointed in Nothing mainly because of these reasons:
- Out of the SEA countries listed above, my country isn’t mentioned though (well shouldn’t have expected this to be available, even the 2a+ is still unavailable here) there’s an opportunity for you guys to enter our market cause Iphone 16 is currently banned and OPPO (currently no. 1 market share) is getting backlash for their CMO response video to reviewers. You guys got free advertising from their video cause the viewers found out that OPPO were trying to copy Carl Pei and nothing by making reviewer response videos. The growth of the market especially in the mid range is remarkable here and your phones could get a nice share of the market (If you guys say it’s hard to enter our market i call it BS, Carl Pei was part of Oppo and 1+ which both are available here).
- This isn’t a community edition with only 1000 units sold worldwide, it’s a Limited Community Inspired Edition (1000 units worldwide? You already did this with the Nothing 1, WTF guys? 🤪🙃). If it were really a community edition (which I thought was meant for your growing community), should be made available by pre-order during a certain window/time span for each country.
I think you guys make great products and designs. I also thought that you guys wanted to be available to your target users who appreciate design, but now I doubt this. I’m really, really disappointed and if you guys really tend to brand yourselves as limited and exclusive like this then I’m opting out of buying any of your products👎.
