      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 never used such a device without eventually just sticking to a single configuration. If you’re going to have to switch them while you’re on the road it’s just gonna be annoying. If only they would have made those 2 modules into one piece that you could just turn around. Imagine if you’re listening to songs using your iPod like controls and you get an SMS so you have to check all of your pockets for some keyboard module and start juggling it just to answer.

    Besides that I think the price is way too high.
