The problem was they manufactured phones with bogus IMEI numbers, so in many cases the phones were unusable on cellular networks.

When this became apparent all distributors quickly pulled the phones and so only a very limited number got manufacturer.

I wanted to get one, because I liked the idea of pocketable 5" device with frontlight and Android (limited one, but still ...). The first batch from Onyx was very quickly sold out and there were no more batches
