Good news for our US and Canadian fans - we have just started preorders for the North American version of Dumber Mini!

We're planning to have 3000 phones manufactured by the end of November, and half of these will be the North American model. From our initial assessment, the phones should be compatible with T-Mobile in the US. Information on Canadian carriers will be added as soon as we have prototype units that we can test.

BankID has recently introduced a new authentication method by scanning a physical ID (photo and NFC). Initial tests indicate that this doesn't work on the Dumber Mini. We're investigating whether this is something we can fix, and we'll also be in touch with the BankID team.

On the other hand, Vipps works totally fine now, including tap-to-pay on the Dumber Mini. However, it has had a difficult history with degoogled phones, so there are no guarantees here.

There is growing political pressure to get these two apps to properly support degoogled phones, so hopefully things will improve in the future.

Hi DumberOS fans,

I'm happy to let you know that we'll receive our first batch of 1000 phones quite a bit earlier than planned. Our initial estimate was very conservative to account for possible delays, but as of now everything seems to be moving ahead of schedule - we've been told the shipment should leave China by the end of May.

Of course, nothing is certain until the phones actually arrive at our UK warehouse, so we'll keep you updated if anything changes.

We still have about 400 phones left to sell from the incoming batch, so if you are thinking about preordering, it is safe to do so within the next few weeks. Once we run out, we'll be making another order for 3000 phones, half of which will be destined for the North American market. These are estimated to be ready by the end of November.
