I am astonished to hear there's a phone app on T68. They should have removed it. Did they use an unmodified version of pristine Android?

Bear in mind that this is a rather small company that has only recently switched to Android platform. I expect that now that the OS on all their newer devices has been unified, they can focus all developer hours into this single platform and update all devices at the same time in the future.
