    Boring is fine. I don’t need my phone to be exciting.

    The headline should have been about reliability. The author had to replace the first demo device, and experienced stuttering on the replacement. Will HMD continue to support the device and outfits? Will the maker community adopt the device and start getting creative with the options? Or will this end up in the drawer of abandoned hardware with the minidisc player and active 3d glasses.

    Modularity and flexibility is great. Boring is acceptable. Unreliable is not OK.

      HMD has committed to only 2 Android upgrades and 3 years of security updates (just like their mid range Nokia series of smartphones they launch(ed)).
