I am actually on her mailing list. I might buy one when she's actually in full-up production, just to annoy people with. I imagine the battery life isn't anywhere near as good as my Sonim (about 12 days). She's had all sorts of production problems with her basement assembly line, but she's starting to ship in dribbles and drabs. Its actually all the phone I need, but it wouldn't survive in the real world with me very long - almost smartphone fragile I would think - and "battery life". It probably gets great reception with that external antenna - something EVERY cell phone used to have and still should as far as I'm concerned.
