Hi Scott

You give a very encouraging portrait of the phone. Thumb typing is error prone on anything, I think. This would be a replacement for my primary mobile, so I'm still a bit hesitant about the screen size, though.

Thanks for the info.

I've seen Scott's Jelly Pro, and as he says it's workable for the things he's using it for. Understand that I'm saying this without using the phone at all, but ... don't even consider using this as a primary phone. Unless of course your main use case for the phone is to make phone calls - and who the hell does that on a phone?

While I enjoyed writing that and there's a degree of sarcasm implied, I'm also very serious: phone calls simply aren't the main use for phones any more, and this thing is too small for most of the things we use phones for. Think of it as being similar to an old flip phone, but without the dedicated keypad: the screen is that small. If an old flip phone would suit you, this will work - but in that case a flip phone might be better?
