Why has it become so acceptable to launch half-baked products that don't actually work? Twenty years ago, you launched a product and it had to work right out of the box. What's gone wrong here?
- seba_dos1 7y agoIt's a crowdfunded project where some of the backers opted in to receive a device from an early batch. What's so unacceptable about that?

I'm sure the audio issue for calls will be fixed in the next few weeks, along with some improvements to battery life and whatnot. If you don't want a pre-production product, don't opt in for it and wait for Evergreen.
