True, but good video drivers, and good calls/texts, are often the very hardest parts for an open-source phone project. The rest can be improved later, by community contributors even.
Historically the case has often been "well it can do wifi and browse the web, has some built-in chat apps, it's just a bit slow to scroll around, cellular data kinda works sometimes ... not worth trying to call with it, maybe next rev will have better modem support". Without calls and texts you really need another phone, so the project never gets a big enough community.
- voltagex_ 8y agoIt's got a low res screen and a slower processor than 2018 phones, and it costs $700 US - I don't think it's going to get a big community. I owned an OpenMoko and a N900, too - but sometimes you just need to get stuff done.
