A long time ago, I owned a Motorola Droid 4 and Photon Q. Feeling so nostalgic now 🙂

The keyboard on this one is much better - it’s full-sized, and the slider mechanism feels quite robust.

    Yeah, I heard that many units have antenna issue. Before buying I asked the seller to test it for me. My unit was unaffected by the issue.

    Yeah, the situation with the company is not great.

    Big thanks to the guy keeping lineage working on it!

    There actually 4 maintainers for this device! It was a surprise for me. Usually it’s 1 guy.

      Nice! I’m jealous.

      Even using Wi-Fi in my house, it constantly drops connections. I was hoping to use it to basically VNC to my desktop but it is so slow and disconnects constantly. There’s some speculation that some of the antennas were not soldered properly or something like that.

      Mine also has large black dead spots in the bottom corners of the screen, seems like it was over tightened during manufacturing. Maybe that’s also what broke the antenna!

        That’s sad 😢

        I heard that the antenna issue can be fixed manually, but it’s not an easy fix.
