[Edit] On the CMF Phone 1 ‘buy’ page it says:
In the box
CMF Phone 1CMF Cable (USB-C to USB-C)Safety information and warranty cardScreen Protector (pre-applied)SIM tray ejector
The box containing this information disappears when I select the 8+128GB variant (8+256GB is the page’s default selection). Does the cheaper variant of the CMF Phone 1 not include the cable, screen protector and ejector?
If the CMF Phone 1 benefits from having expandable memory up to 2TB (very good to see!), what is the point of the more expensive 256GB variant? Why not just have a single base model (128GB) at £209 (pre-launch price £179.99)?
Isn’t Nothing selling memory cards along with the CMF Phone 1? Seems a missed opportunity for a little profit, but also puts burden on the customer who has to search elsewhere, perhaps create an account with another supplier, pay postage, etc.
[Edit] I note the cheaper variant is currently withheld from sale in the UK, and The cases and other accessories are unavailable to buy at this time so cannot be bought together with the CMF Phone 1 preorders. When will they be for sale? Is it correct that customers who wanted/want to buy another case (for £29?!) must pay an additional £3 for delivery?
How sturdy and protective are the cases? Do they act like a formfitting bumper case to the actual phone, with several year’s warranty, or do customers have to go buy an additional protective case to protect the phone and its interchangeable case?
Do the interchangeable cases come with replacement screws? The worry with repeatedly tightening screws is the heads can wear down, which would make it impossible to remove the screws without drilling them out the phone. What size/shape are they; standard screws you can buy in the shop?
How comes the phone can’t be bought in the blue colour that features in some of the marketing material? I see there is a blue case in the store (although not currently available for sale), so someone wanting that colour phone is forced to purchase a blue case in addition to the phone with an unwanted black/green/orange case (a surplus of plastic cases going to landfill is not ecologically-friendly). Underneath the interchangeable covers, aren’t the phones identical (aside from the preinstalled memory)? There are no orange/green/blue accent colours, correct? The boxes they come in are all the same colour, irrespective of whatever colour case is lobbed in?
(CMF > Phone Accessories > CMF Phone 1 Case > “Black, Light Green, Blue and Orange”) Despite the suggestion that cases are sold in black, I see no option for that – only the three other colours. Is it an oversight? What if someone wants a replacement black case, or the option of dressing their CMF Phone 1 in a little black number?
The page also says “Two vegan leather options”, but fails to mention which two of the three (or four) options they are.
Will the lanyard and stand be available in any colours other than orange? Are you not doing a black, light green and blue version to match the phones?
