I don't know about open. Trying to fish for the price and they do not sell to the U.S. apparently. I would buy this phone, or something similar, if it were actually available. The thing I can't stand about android aps is that many are not available unless you login to google. It really pisses me off too. Why does my banking ap or my email provider ap have to come directly from google?? Is it that hard to host miniature files on the sites for which the apk's are designed?? My email ap says that the playstore needs to update but the apk still works even though playstore is disabled. Stupid, stupid, stupid. On the jolla phone I would install a barebones version of gapps, if at all. Right now I am using ~9 apk's I can find nowhere else but the playstore and tbh If my phone was rooted I would remove them all.
