I use it as it is designed for, a PDA.

It's basically two 'phones' in one that folds into a clamshell. like a
mini-laptop with aluminum. It's heavy but it suits my purposes. It's definitely
not for everyone.
AA> Is the battery of the gemini removable?
No.
D> I don't use google services on it.
AA> You are very disciplined! :)
No, it just isn't necessary for my uses. I have a few apps that are available on
f-droid that don't require google services and, well, Google doesn't even know
my android install exists.
AA> Never heard of that one. It *is* nice and small. But the price isn't!

Yeah, I know. It's pricey.
AA> How would you do texting with it? C = 3 presses on 2? F = 3 presses

No idea. If so that would be a stunning no from me. But then, my PDA is there
for texting.

Yeah, not for everyone surely.
