Had one also around that time. I was the shit for a while with my Coca-Cola polyphonic ringtone then those damn camera phones came into existence...

Bought a Mac Pro in 2008. That thing is still a workhorse to this day. I have two now. And I'm not even some professional designer or musician.

Cokes version of Android is probably as bloated as I get, when I chug a 2L bottle of Coke.

Exactly. I feel like the first successful “metaverse” is going to be some small company that builds something that they just think is fun/cool/useful/whatever.
It can’t start off as a massive corporate soulless thing that comes out of a boardroom and jumps to massive success. It will be something like vr chat, simple, basic, with a subset of interesting uses, that then grows from there.
I think facebook screwed up in their approach. Why spend billions when they could have spent millions? Create one (or maybe a bunch) of SMALL apps, see what takes off, iterate, build from there.

Would it not be possible to accomplish most of this using themes for most Android devices? Plus maybe a custom Coke case?

People have no idea what ad tracking means. lol
​
To be comfortable, and feel that VR looks real you need actual measurement, and then people think that if you are 5ft you will get an ad for a pasta maker, and if you are 6ft you will get an ad for a vacuum cleaner.
So much lack of critical thinking. Reddit is not better than other social networks (audience think they are somehow smarter).
​
And yes, you are right, there is no private information as targeting for an ad. Overall, it is pretty generic and based on interests, locations, people with similar behaviors.

Honestly I don’t know how I feel about a Coke branded phone, but at least they put effort into it. Lots of cool little details like the SIM removal tool.

I would never get one but as an idea I kind of love this! It reminds me of all the wacky marketing stunts companies pulled in the 2000’s. 10 year old me would’ve been all over a Coke themed phone back in 2007.
It also brings back memories of the pre-smartphone era where every phone had some kind of gimmick to make it more marketable.

One logo is fine... but not this deep and everywhere.

They should pay us to advertise on our phones, like putting stickers on your car for local businesses.

I mean technically all phones are ad-phones. They have the logo or name of the company on them

Nah, I don't need to charge that fast. I have a few 60W Anker charging blocks and they're great.

Let me guess, one of the "canned" apps included is the Caffeine streaming service.

I just committed to one, excited to try it out. Do you plan on getting 747 charger too? I have the Nano 3 30w and it’s been a lil trooper. My strongest brick is my 61w MacBook charger.

The split on the back looks bad. Like you bought a custom case or decal online, and the printer fucked up the design.
