The internet is buzzing, and not in a good way. Everyone is angry and disappointed. All the dreams, hopes, money saved, and excitement for the Phone 3—it’s all gone. This isn’t just about a new phone; it feels like Nothing has let down the very people who supported them from the start.
We’re in a tough spot, split into different groups because of what was promised and what we got. Some loyal fans were ready to pay the price but are now very unhappy with the phone itself. Others, who liked everything else about Nothing, don’t want to pay the high price. And then there are those in the middle who are just not happy with anything at all.

Design
We heard that the Phone 3’s design was decided almost three years ago. Three years! While our community was busy sharing great ideas and cool pictures of what the phone could look like, it seems our voices weren’t heard, or maybe just ignored.
The main thing that made people love Nothing at first—the cool Glyph lights and simple look—has now made early fans sad. At the same time, Nothing missed the chance to get new customers who are looking for something different from big brands or want smaller phones.
So, what about the Phone 4? Is its design already set in stone too, even after everyone is so unhappy with this one? Will Nothing keep going in the same direction, or will they finally listen to the loud complaints from its disappointed fans?

Price
Nothing wanted to sell phones in many different parts of the world, including places where people don’t earn as much. Now, there’s a huge anger from those regions because the new price is just too high for them. The processor in the phone is a big reason why people think it’s overpriced. Other parts, like the quality of the display that isn’t as good, make this anger even worse.
It’s a strange situation. Many people feel the phone’s features aren’t good enough for its price. But then there are others who would have paid the money, not just for the phone itself, but for the whole experience: the smooth software and the feeling of being part of a special community that no other brand offers. However, it feels like most of what the community wanted has been ignored over the last two years, and we’re not even talking about the special “Community Edition” devices.

Conclusion
All the negative comments have one thing in common: frustration. This kind of frustration is special to Nothing, because they were the ones who really focused on building a “community.” Other phone companies might get criticized, but they don’t get this deep feeling of being let down by the people they built up.
@Nothing: Please remember why people loved you in the first place. Remember what the community means to you and why you were becoming successful.
