Okay, what's the catch? Doesn't work on North American networks? Touch screen doesn't work so you have to carry around a keyboard, mouse and USB hub? Doesn't send or receive calls?
Calls and texts are not listed as supported. I wouldn’t be surprised if they do not work. Just have a look a PostmarketOS support. Most phones cannot make phone calls.
I hate the telephone as much as the next guy my age, but it's still quasi-mandatory to have a functioning telephone to exist in this world. Like...why'd they bother mentioning it in public in this state?
