  1. Initial impressions after one whole day with it....

    If I had received this 2 years ago, I would have been pleased.  However, since then I have bought a Fairphone 5 which has a bigger screen, faster processor and better cameras, so apart from the physical keyboard it feels like a step backwards.

    Battery dead, so it needed the "rubber band" trick overnight to charge.  Flashed it with /e/OS (based on LineageOS) which was easy, and fired it up.  Signal strength on the 5GHz band of my home wifi was terrible, but is acceptable on the 2.4GHz channel.  4G mobile signal strength (in the UK) is a bit lower than the Fairphone, but not disastrously so.  Even the fingerprint reader works.

    I've only tried a couple of short phone calls, but they worked.  Also haven't left the house with it yet so don't know how well it will work when hopping to other cell towers on the move.

    I'll give it a couple of days, and particularly keep an eye on call quality when I'm out and about.

  2. Apparently today is the day that I receive my Pro-1X, so I was wondering what to do with it.  My questions are firstly - is anyone successfully using a Pro-1X as their regular daily driver phone?  Or do you use it as a mini laptop or something?

    Secondly, are you leaving it with the default Android, or have you flashed it with LineageOS or Ubuntu?

    Or is it in the bottom of a drawer, unused?
