Sure, it runs Android. What did people expect? They aren’t going to build a custom system from scratch.

The appeal is the form factor

      Install a custom ROM and DIY. That’s what I would likely do anyway for privacy

      Remember, it is just android

        Are you making this custom ROM? Seems unlikely anyone else will. To what end? A cheap phone does much more with better feel and battery life.

        It’s just more on a computer with AI garbage.

          No other device has the same form factor as far as I can tell. All of the influencers have single handedly screwed this company over.

        Wait. So you’re saying the only appeal of the device, is the hardware?

        200 bucks of what’s reportedly exactly as cheap-feeling as the price suggests?
