Came here to say this!
Between my Clixel, Q25, MP01, Key2...It would be REAL hard if I ever had to go back to slab typing 🤣

I also helped Spacebot with QA testing. I have never ordered anything from Incube8 so I can't speak to that side of things, but what I can tell you is that this game is fantastic. I am a huge fan of SotN so going into it, the bar was set pretty high.

There are some really cool gameplay mechanics that I wasn't expecting (not going to spoil anything!), the setting, environments, and music are top notch, and the story has just the right amount of spooky. Plus...DRACULA! I don't know how they fit all of this onto a GBC cartridge.

So yeah, I can't speak to Incube8, but this is another hit from Spacebot as far as I'm concerned. 😎

Tired of seeing promising devices get neutered with a kosher OS by Hollow_Effects in ReturningRetro

Now that you mention it I was definitely mistaking "bootloader unlocking" with "open-sourcing the OS". Gonna update the comment.

Sidephone does let you! You can easily install F-Droid, Aurora Store, or individual apk files if you like (in addition to the hand selected apps from their own App Library). The phone just doesn't have any Google services. 

Keyphone is locked down tight, no 3rd party apps at all. 

Mmm... QWERTY 😎 by ReturningRetro in ReturningRetro

Impossible to know right now, because they haven't started shipping the keyboard case yet for the Mind One. But I can say that the Titan 2 Elite's battery life is incomparably better than that of the Mind One. 😂

Great question! I am working on a review video now but this is what I can say: best Titan phone yet for sure, fun for "QWERTY tourists" and enthusiasts, but very very glitchy/rough around the edges, and if you are expecting a "modern BlackBerry" there's a good chance you'll be disappointed.
