It's like being rickrolled. An article chats up a device as an awesome buy but has no links to buy one (even tho they're an affiliate publisher). Ditto for the article they linked to.

Anyway, GSMArena device specs: https://www.gsmarena.com/hmd_touch_4g-14208.php

Reddit hands on: https://old.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/1o69beb/the_hmd...

AmazonIndia: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0FSKWJX31 ₹3,999 or fully impossible to buy in the US for $45.13

You can also not buy it from the manufacturer because it's out of stock. https://www.hmd.com/en_in/hmd-touch-4g

But if it was in stock, you need to "Enter PIN code to check availability" before you can buy anything. ex:https://www.hmd.com/en_in/hmd-150-music

No one is saying where you get a pin.

Looking at the locale in the url, I would suspect that is an Indian pincode (not unlike a us zip code). Try 560103 for bellanduru in Bangalore.

You're brilliant. That's exactly what it was.
