I don't know why would I want to use Google Maps in a browser when there's Pure Maps, but I just tried and I can use it just fine on the base Librem 5 model with 3GB RAM. I also have several games installed on it, including even some Android games that work fine, so I don't get what you're talking about at all. Also, Nokia 3310 had no WAP and no GPRS. The next model, Nokia 3410, had WAP over CSD but no GPRS, and certainly wasn't suitable for anything like Google Maps which did not even exist back then. [edit] The parent has moved the goalposts quite far in a sneaky edit, but even the edited claims are pretty unreasonable. Of course there was IM running in the background and there was still plenty of free RAM left for something more, and no, "Nokia 3310 generation phones" couldn't do anything like that for at least a few more years :)

So you're honestly trying to tell me that a librem phone has the same feature set as say, an iphone in comparison? Same websites, same performance, same responsiveness, same app interactions, same bluetooth/hardware compatibility support? ...without having to use the terminal, ever? Really? Is this a joke or something? How many _minutes_ do you wait until google maps is loaded, and are still satisfied with it? My experience with the librem phone has been _way worse_ than yours, apparently. [edit] Nevermind, of course you are working for purism. [/edit]

  > So you're honestly trying to tell me that a librem phone has the same feature set as say, an iphone in comparison? Haven't said anything close to that and I certainly wouldn't because it's not true. However, personally I'm not very interested in iPhone's feature set, while I'm very interested in things that Librem 5 can offer that iPhone can't. The terminal is a feature I cherish rather than be afraid of. > How many _minutes_ do you wait until google maps is loaded Zero. Five seconds, to be exact. I also tried it inside an Android container, so pretty much having two complete operating systems running at the same time. Interestingly, it was faster by one second there:)
