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.
They are pivoting to a new customer base, people who are vaguely aware privacy is a concern but aren't capable of figuring out nothing phones are a scam.
Nothing could have been Something.
FUCK THAT
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

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.
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.
The misinterpretation with the name nothing to the regular word nothing in headlines and everything is really bad, especially since the internet is global and for countries who never heard the name.
Some people think they're really clever with their company name and cause lots of confusion with it for their narrow mindedness.

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.
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 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.
Just what the world needed
Not at all surprising for anyone who followed this company for a while. They've pretty much been all marketing. The phones are far from what they are advertised to be. Hell, it'd be great if they at least worked properly.
How much does a phone manufacturer get when they do these pre-inatalled app deals?
Apparently enough to destroy the reputation over it.
To me I'm most supprised on this one, I mean, wasn't the whole point of the nothing to be a phone that doesn't distract you as much, lets you stay in the moment.
what the hell kind of partnership is this. This is as dumb as say an electric vehicle company partnering up with climate change deniers

i knew they was fake as shit bro
I thought nothing was going to be the OG oneplus, bringing flagship killers at decent prices. Not the case, I got the first ear ones, had heaps of issues, no help from support and they stopped updating them. Years go by, looking for a watch, try the CMF watch by nothing, I've had nothing but connection issues and bugs and a dislike for the weird lack of customisation (can't make a timer widget unless its one of the set times they choose? Why??) It's put me off ever getting a phone by nothing.
Thanks for reporting it. I was eyeing a 3a phone, but no more.
Nothing good will come of this.
Nothing's new.
FTFY
Something
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.
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.

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.

Doesn't everyone know not to buy nothing by now?
Can they even be removed with adb?
I'm sure they can, it's just sad to see they're giving such a sleazy company a spot on every phone no matter what. Also, who knows what type of system access Facebook has been given to track us. They track people even if they don't have a fb acct.
So, the Nothing 3a, AKA The Something.
