2) They gave zero indication that they were aware of these problems.

3) They release no firmware updates (only updates are by the two resellers, and these are just slight UI enhancements).

4) They released newer devices and EOL'd the T68.

and.. people here still recommend this company. I think it's worth it for anyone considering buying an Onyx to read this and form their own opinion.
You are right, but people buy these products because with minor tweaks they work like a charm. I agree about the idea of buying final products in which things work from the box. Onyx is unable to place product in the market working properly but the products' hardware is good enough for the purpose of people and having a workable Android 4.0.4 is a pioneer trait of this company.

Check if you like this post to enhance your T68.
