2/2 If, like me, you've been following the slow progress of mobile Linux, you're probably used to overhyped, underwhelming, and delayed devices. The FLX1s may not be the end-all-be-all, top-of-the-line, best-imaginable, perfect device but it has changed the mobile Linux landscape. This is an actually usable phone that actually does phone things and has a battery that lasts long enough for it to actually be a mobile phone. So that no one thinks I am trying to mislead anyone, no, it is not a fully FOSS device nor does it run mainline Linux. It is a Halium device which means it includes driver blobs. If that doesn't sound like a compromise you can handle (which I fully get), then this might not be the device for you. But then... what viable mobile phone currently in production will be (genuinely curious)? I'm not being paid or compensated to say nice things. These are my own, real thoughts. There is a discount offer on their convergence dock for owners who post "a review" - not "a positive review", just "a review" - which I plan to take advantage of. I've also post a review to both their site and Trustpilot, plus got my [paraphrased] thoughts read on air on by Brent in Jupiter Broadcasting's Linux Unplugged episode 651. That is to say, I already qualify for the discount. Anyway, I would be thrilled to answer any questions from the user perspective that anyone has. Or join us users in the Matrix chat. Also, please boost widely! I really believe this device is amazing and would be the talk of the community if only more people knew about it.
