Can those actually place/receive phone calls (actual phone calls, not WhatsApp or whatever) and send/receive SMS messages these days? Last I checked, which admittedly was 5+ years ago, the answer ranged from "no" to "sometimes, when the stars align on a Thursday". Merely being phone-shaped does not a phone make.



Cool, thanks! Looks like they still have a ways to go before some major pain points are ironed out, but at least the phones are actually phones now! I'll have to consider them next time I switch phones as I'd much rather the Linux ecosystem "support everything forever" attitude than the Android tradition of "vendor drops support 1.5 years after purchase".
