I've been mostly happy with my Poke3, but it's still at the 3.3.1 update from last November. The battery died and there is no replacement through Onyx. I have a Poke5 and I can see some improvements, but also some of the same old warts. Without EDL Firehose loaders it's dangerous to try rooting or alterations.

The product range seems to be based on buying a new device every 18 months.

You may say, "Yeah, but all the other manufacturers are just as bad."
