      You had to fuck with it from time to time. It was very much a poweruser type device for people who wanted to tinker with shit.

      It’s the kind of thing I can happily use, but also the type of thing that is not generally a commercial success compared to models they likely want to benchmark against in MBA land.

      Will definitely say that back then, smartphone choices were limited and mostly shit.
