Thanks for Nothing!
Good ass burn.
Wow, nothing is a shit name, for one. On the other hand, this being reported on a website that requires tracking consent to view. I want a new Timeline.
Nothing would be a great brand name if they were dedicated to making good phones without any bloatware.
You were supposed to be the fucking CHOSEN ONE
Don't stake your hopes on anyone or any entity and you will never be disappointed
There are only those companies for whom the incentives to betray you aren't yet high enough. Either the incentives become high enough for the chosen company to betray you, or the incentives become enough for another company with enough money to buy the chosen company and betray you...or bury the chosen company in the hopes that you'll open yourself to being betrayed or exploited by the other company.
Welcome to unfettered/unregulated capitalism aka the natural end result that capitalism pushes society towards.
Nothing already lost me when they put a tiny, useless OLED screen on the back of their flagship and called it innovation. They had something really great with the Glyph lights for two generations, so of course they ditched that technology completely.
Not even Unihertz put Facebook garbage on their new Titan 2 phone. And they also have an OLED on the back. A much bigger one. For a fraction of the price.
Oh good, one less phone to consider.
I would literally sooner intentionally install malware in my phone than anything from Meta.
Welp, and some people hypothesized Nothing would be the secret manufacturer that GrapheneOS works with. Hope not, I'm not sure what Nothing would get out of it with these kinds of actions.
I still think it’s Motorola.
I'd like that. I've enjoyed being on Motorola for the last few phones. Good, serviceable, middle-of-the-road priced phones and a company that doesn't think so highly of themselves that the majority of the price amounts to a prestige tax. (ahem...Apple and Samsung)

i knew they was fake as shit bro
Wait they are monetizing this hard so soon? They barely launched the brand
Bruh. This is truly surprising. I feel like for a phone like this, it must be like 90% of the target market that would hate this? Seems like an unimaginably bad business decision. Of course, if FB gave them enough money, then this is kinda like taking a bribe to stop competing.
I once had a phone with uninstallable Facebook bullshit and it is more than mildly infuriating. Fuck Nothing, they are dead to me now. This is unforgivable.
So I've been holding onto my OnePlus 6T because it was the closest thing to a Nexus after they destroyed it and migrated it into the Pixel program.
I've been eyeballing Nothing for a while now, but it looks like before I could even get one, they're already off the market for me.
Ratchet mechanism of enshittification: click
This is a major bummer. I was kinda rooting for them to be the OEM that GOS would be working with.
Looks like nothing I want to waste money on.
Just what the world needed
The problem with Meta (also russian Yandex) is that it was caught having web-side trackers that send stuff to localhost, where it gets caught by Meta apps and then sent to Zucker servers. This two-bit scheme was noticed by researchers and isn't there anymore, but it is a clear display why having these apps preinstalled is a problem. Regular ads are better than Mark looking over your shoulder whenever his meta pixel triggers.

More new ways to spy on us. Nothing is a good brand, but this is wrong. ( •_•)
@Mattr @Toasted_Breakfast They're trying some things like lock-screen ads on some models too. Turned "off" by default (for now). But their Phone (3) isn't getting that, if i understand correctly. Just the (a) models.
Disappointing.
I bought one of their phones nearly a year ago. The UI was... Not great, IMO, but I was able to re-skin it. The SD card slot was the biggest reason for me. Well, now I know taht my next phone is going to be a Pixel with Graphene installed.
how much do these places pay to make their apps into terminal cancer that cant be excised.
Thanks for reporting it. I was eyeing a 3a phone, but no more.
This is one of the main reasons I don't run Android, the bloatware that comes with the phone that can’t be removed without root.
Just fyi you can uninstall them without root, though it's slightly technical https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
You don't have to even get very technical, you can use a GUI instead of terminal controls, as mentioned in the same article.
I used ADB App Control to debloat my stock, unrooted Galaxy Tab.
Shizuku and Canta works for me 🙂
Nothing's new.
FTFY
