- I've been using the Cosmo Communicator for a few months now. I love it and hate it at the same time, especially its full qwerty keyboard. I'm reviewing it today.
PS: I forgot to mention the screen flicker that happens sometimes. You can see it in the end of the video. It doesn't happen to often to bother me.

Πάρα πολύ καλή αγορά
This phone has a built-in external keyboard, has a panel and support for BOTH linux and android? I'm sold!
I decided to bet on it - let's see how long term support will turn out.
Kernel 4.4 is becoming a problem for some things.
@@Shiunbird is it not possible to upgrade/update the kernel?
@@weeeeeeeeeeeew Beyond my skills - I think the problem is with drivers.
There's a good forum here

Very interesting device. It's a shame about the software support, hope we see more like it soon though!
this or the cheaper gemini
>?
It depends on your tolerance to run older editions of Android and how much the external screen matters to you. For me, the external screen is key and I'd not have looked into the Gemini.
@@Shiunbird in terms of Linux support ? Not so interested in running Android
No carrier support. no battery support. no battery on web.
Pretty much.
I ended up migrating to a Librem 5. Most components have native support in kernel so I hope it will last longer than most devices.
