I got a pair of the PMOS Convergence Package phones, I am running Mobian Nightly on one, and the factory PMOS on the other phone.....
I must say it is rather feature light on the installed Post Market, but so far at least, everything is working ok, except the first 2 calls, but now it is functioning fine.
I purchased a Tracfone $25 smartphone card and $1 sim kit, just so I could test it. Once I dug up the correct APN info I was able to connect to cellular data
and I even did a short test of the 'Hotspot' and that worked. Everything "Out of the Box" seems to just work.
The version of Firefox on it kinda sux, and it says it is controlled by some organization ?? But I downloaded 'Gnome web' and that works 'ok'.
Seems to be a "bare bones daily driver" so to speak. Just add a flashlight and camera/viewer apps and it would probably be 'good nuf' for me for now.
I have not had it long enough to know how dependable it will be.
Will you be doing your official test sheet on this one ?
Add: I see some other posters saying the APN settings page was "off the screen" or they had a hard time with setting the time. ?
I found the settings page to be almost identical to the settings page on Mobian. Though I did not go with encryption, at least for now I am just testing.
The hardest part of 'set-up' was 'finding' the correct APN information, entering it into the phone was quite painless.
And Epiphany (Gnome web) really is way better than the installed version of Firefox.
