is it ready for normies to daily drive?
Seems pretty polished, but I genuinely don't know. None of my devices support it, so I haven't had the opportunity to test drive it.
At some point, "normies" are just going to have to break down and learn something.
Palm OS was really good, but without a great app store it never stood a chance.
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.
