Just got mine.
1. unboxed.
1.5. removed tape from battery, put SIM in carrier, inserted into correct slot.
2. turned on.
3. saw battery was almost dead, plugged in.
4. configured wifi.
5. updated via Discover
6. rebooted at prompting by Discover.
7. Modem did not wake up after update, rebooted again.
8. Tested:
a. outgoing calls: SUCCESS
b. outgoing SMS: SUCCESS
NOT working yet:
i. Mobile data (modem and access point info is populated under cellular networks, even tried using the step to populate the DNS servers via ofono). Angelfish complains about lack of name resolution.
ii. GPS. Touching the "location" item in the pulldown menu does nothing, and the Weather app couldn't geolocate me.
Haven't tested anything else. May eventually put Mobian + phosh on, just to see if it fares any better.
I intend to make this a daily driver, and my use case is very simple: inbound and outbound calls and SMS, and the occasional website access, and possibly playing some music via a bluetooth speaker, probably via the Pandora website.
EDIT: Tested headset for streaming audio from Pandora website. Internal speakers were unjustifiably quiet, and headset was muted. Until I opened the audio settings and tweaked them. Now they're acceptable.
