Looks nice, something I would hapilly carry arround in my backpack for some really light work or email

The fact it is a power bank make it a natural companion for the phone itself

Do you have one? Like a daily driver or is not roght there yet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Yep I have one.

I used it as a daily for 2 week when I got it autumn 2020.

I couldn't last a day using it. Basic experience was OK. My second biggest issues was lack of messengers app on (even emails). Most of my relatives are on signal and that wasn't working.

BUT it getting better as os'es are developed. There is a working signal app and mail, better battery. I'll probably retry the experience soon.

Thanks for sharing it. I've been folowing the releases of different OSs and people seems to be working very hard and continously, if that trend contonues I see some brilliant future for linux based phones.
