Earlier this month, two entrepreneurs from Ottawa, Canada launched a crowdfunding campaign for the “frank.” phone. The main premise was that smartphone are too expensive, and there needs to be a phone priced competitively that does everything you need it to. The project had a very edgy tone, using phrases like ”It’s just another fucking phone but it’ll only cost you $180.” and ”It’s about time to disrupt the shit out of the North American smartphone industry.”
Unfortunately for the Frank team (and anyone who wanted the phone), Indiegogo has now suspended the project’s crowdfunding campaign and automatically refunded all contributions.
