    No. I have a second phone with it just to play with.

    It’s functional, but rough. App support is lacking, VoLTE doesn’t work still which means on countries like the US which shutdown 2/3G you cannot make or receive calls. The UI is clunky and dated.

    I think a lot of these issues would go away pretty quick if it got a lot of attention. But then it’s unlikely to get much attention without that stuff. Vicious cycle. It’s a good base to build on.

      thanks for the insight. if you use google voice app on it would that work as a replacement for VoLTE?

        There isn’t a Google Voice app. It’s not Android.

        You could probably place calls from the browser but not receive them.

        I heard of some people setting up IP phone stuff for it, but it doesn’t seem simple.
