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.
