Seconded (Thirded)!
Their devices always seem like a blueprint of devices to come. I know this has changed a bit with the Note/Max2, however, there's still a lot to be done and if any improvements over the next couple of years do not reach these two latest devices with their improved chips and RAM, then Onyx are effectively trimming down their target market to only those people who for reasons just need what is on offer at the exact moment in time of the device for sale.
The problem is then that single purpose devices should never be compared to multi-purpose devices, but once the former products’ pricing reaches multi-purpose open device levels, that's what people will expect from them. If the Note was 250-300 and worked well enough according to its core promises, it would be a much more attractive device right now.
