      From what I understand It basically comes with their own version of lineageOS. I bought one so I’m going to get hands on with it soon if they keep their timeline

        Keep me in the loop when you get it, I’m curious to know how it is and it can have a custom OS installed

          If you’re curious they talk about it quite a bit here.

          One of the reasons I felt comfortable pre-ordering is they’ve been really upfront about their limitations and why they made the choices they made. It’s definitely not for everyone but for me it seems like it solves a bunch of issues I have with smartphones (and dumbphones)

          I have the phone now. It’s pretty good. They are working through some initial bugs. I want to give it some time before I give a more thorough review but my first impressions are positive… more to come in awhile

            Thats fair. What’s using texting apps like? Do you get the original T9 experience?

              If you want, the T9 works fine but I spend more time with the QWERTY and Sundial pads. I thought the Sundial was dumb when they announced it but I use it the most now that I have it
