How long are you going to keep your dirty business phone? (opens in new tab)

I used to have two phones (one for work, one personal[0]). I appreciate the appeal of consolidating that into one just out of convenience. "You're carrying around too much bacteria" seems to be a rather weird argument even to bring up.

[0] In my case, I needed access to both iOS and Android, so this wouldn't really have helped anyway, but that's separate.

You know what I hate ? Posts on HN of a company's website where after you read the whole thing, you still have no clue what they're doing.

The use of we're reinventing/we're disrupting or things like that.

A landing page with whoop whoop colors, fancy words and bacteria talk. Aiming at reducing the number of phones to just one, using expressions like "phone solution" (what does that even mean). Many startups fail miserably to tell you how it works, simply. And no, no amount of CSS or infographics will remediate that.

Now: On the link, you actually have to click to the main site to make sense of it. Then, it shows you a sort of screen, but it's not a phone (it's part of the image. The layout is broken. I have to dezoom to 33% to see there's a whole image, but I can't read what's in there and I can't zoom on the specific image. Just awful).

Then, there's the wrong argument provided: Frigging bacteria. For one, do you know how many bacteria there are ? The argument is weak.

And two, there are phones that have dual SIM(heck, there are even triple SIM phones) so the argument cancels itself out. You're pushing the wrong piece of chess.

Show me how it works. A frigging prototype. An actual phone (since you said the "phone solution" is on your "existing devices". Why there's no image of an iPhone or an Android phone with the product installed).

I hate those links. So to sum it up:

-Weak arguments (Bacteria. Many people don't care given the already huge number of bacteria they deal with already. And tow, there are multiple SIM phones).

-Awful page layout.

-No info:

No info on how the product works. No info on the price. No demo (photos of at least how it should* look like because I think there isn't even a product and it's a test balloon, just to test the waters).

Aaaand the use of one of the most hated expressions in my book: "We're reinventing". Heck, even Nikola Tesla didn't use that expression and I mean, he's TESLA !)

This ad just makes me think there is some money is making a phone with some antibacterial properties, not that I need to eliminate phones.

It seems odd to me that people still need separate phones for personal/business. Aren't there services that allow you to set up a separate number that goes straight to the same phone? I know Google Voice does that, and lets you even set filters so that it (for example) only rings during business hours and goes straight to voicemail otherwise.

Steering wheels have 9 times more bacteria than a public toilet seat. That's 967,402 bacteria! Well by cutting the number of steering wheels per person to 0.1, over 104,345 billions of bacteria will be removed from earth by doing so. Those bacteria will never know what hit 'em.

Are people really suffering from the bacteria on their phones?

Genuine story: I started using a smartphone about 4 years ago and a nasty skin condition I had went away within a month and never came back. I suspect that it was bacterial or fungal and there was a little war in which the bacteria on my phone won. Exposure to bacteria can be a good thing. I suspect perfect hygiene is bot going to do much for your immune system in the long run.

Oh and this is the shittest pitch I've ever seen.

You don't expect me to do my dirty business on my regular phone, do you? ;)

can't find info on pricing or countries available... so... close tab.

There may be a lot of bacteria on my cell phone ... but they're MY bacteria. I avoid using other people's phones for just this reason (and don't share my own).

Dual SIM phones exist. Or am I missing the point here entirely?
