- aspenmayer 6y agoI’m having flashbacks of mistyped commands on a G1 keyboard leading to restoring my nandroid backups. It took a couple tries but was well worth it for the decent overclock I was able to get out of it. With an extended battery it was a pretty decent two or three day charge phone with some battery management. Still love that phone.
