Incorrect link to ISM radio band
[edit]Sub-1 GHz Radio is linked to ISM radio band, but this band is scientific and medical (ISM) purposes and not about keyfob radio remotes. Isn't LPD433 PMR446 is more correct for this case? UHFMonk (talk) 22:46, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

- The ISM means means Industrial Scientific and Medical and it's completely covers the meaning of sub1-ghz in Flipper Zero. Even in the original ISM radio band article this contradiction is mentioned:
Despite the intent of the original allocations, in recent years the fastest-growing use of these bands has been for short-range, low power wireless communications systems, since these bands are often approved for such devices, which can be used without a government license, as would otherwise be required for transmitters; ISM frequencies are often chosen for this purpose as they already must tolerate interference issues. Cordless phones, Bluetooth devices, near-field communication (NFC) devices, garage door openers, baby monitors and wireless computer networks (Wi-Fi) may all use the ISM frequencies, although these low power transmitters are not considered to be ISM devices.Turbospok (talk) 23:26, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
Release Date
[edit]Is anyone able to find a reliable source for the release date? Gizmodo says the early 2021 date was missed,[1], while the Daily Dot says orders were being fulfilled by 2022.[2] Getting it straight from the company is easy enough (According to which shipping began January 21, 2022),[3] but I understand that by itself that probably doesn't count as a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. (For good reason of course.) Mbrickn (talk) 02:54, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Background
[edit]The article is entirely about the device, understandably enough, but there doesn't seem to be much about the origins. This article mentions Alex Kulagin and Pavel Zhovner, though the Kickstarter page mentions four others. Are there reliable sources covering them or the company that makes it?

Too much links to internal docs
[edit]I think we should remove listing of every application in Flipper Zero because we cannot describe them clearly, and every day new application appers. And also remove junk links to docs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turbospok (talk • contribs) 21:41, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
Updates
[edit]I've deleted a claim that the Flipper Zero can be used to influence Opticom. No source was provided and sources I can find, such as this, mention Peter Fairlie as the person who claims to have done it. This article contains a link to a Youtube video whose presenter concludes that a different video by Peter Fairlie was a hoax. This raises the possibility that the Opticom one was a hoax too.
I also removed text that claimed that someone had started a car with a Flipper Zero - again, no source provided. Autarch (talk) 01:35, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Not Available from Amazon?
[edit]I've just bought one of these from Amazon in the UK (5 minutes ago) so this may be a regional thing. The claim in the article needs updating as it currently gives the impression that this is a global ban.31.50.203.112 (talk) 20:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thing is, we need a reliable source for the device being available from some Amazon sites and not others. Autarch (talk) 19:37, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Someone literally buying it on the site is the most reliable source you can get. lol 185.85.154.20 (talk) 17:29, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
Why did they crack down on it?
[edit]I'm confused. I don't even know what this device is for. BadMombo1660 (talk) 03:17, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
