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.

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.

I couldn't figure this out with the specs (Bluetooth 4.1 but the chipset supports 5.0)

I'm eagerly awaiting my preorder any which way :)

We've assessed our stock so we have enough in reserve for refunds and are releasing our last stock of phones!

UK refurbished: https://dumbermini.com/products/doov-r77-pro-refurbished

EU + World: https://dumbermini.com/products/simple-phone-1

We are releasing 29 refurbished phones to the UK only at £79 and 15 phones to the EU + world at our standard £109 price.

Shipping will be quick for our EU + world phones directly from our warehouse (around 3-10 business days depending on location) and slightly slower for the UK phones where they can be dispatched on the weekend from my house!
