I used the Jelly 2 for several months and the Atom L for 2+ years. The hardware and base software is very solid, with some minor exceptions that can be expected for a small manufacturer.

The Jelly 2 was too small for me and the fingerprint sensor and camera were sub par. But if you want a tiny phone, its 100 times better than anything on the market. Get the Jelly star for the updates specs though.

The Atom L(and XL) was a solid phone, literally and rhetorically. The camera wasn't flagship class, but solid. I never had a problem with performance, and the phone is very durable. Mine developed a connection issue which was annoying, but not a show stopper. Unfortunately, they haven't updated this device any longer and there is no new version.

If you have any questions let me know.

How many people haven't returned? My company, and nearly everyone I know has been back for 2 years.

Thanks for the suggestion

I'm surprised they peg libertarians so low. I know a lot of people that vote GOP just for "lower taxes". Where do they fit in?

The quality and partner/sponsor issues are mostly expected from getting investor money and expanding quickly. The harassment issues are probably a preexisting problem from existing management. So its interesting that these issues are coming out near the same time.

Expect Linus to be reigned in and no longer be responding directly to these issues. Despite that he didnt sell the company, the people/banks that gave him the money to expand will not be happy to lose their money.

Even ignoring the entertainment factor, Steve is too long winded and doesn't convey much subjectivity. I understand objectivity is generally favored in reviews, but subjectivity is also desired, especially in a video. Otherwise you can just read the data.

Why wouldn't these students just stay in the US.

Great video. I like how he points out some of the unfair and bad practices in the hardware review community. Testing cards on Ultra isn't the best practice and a lot of sites have issues with objectivity.

They have the infrastructure to be a testing powerhouse, putting out a lot more data than other sites. That said, they seem to be doing it very inefficiently and don't seem to have the staff and knowledge to make it all work.

HTC droid Incredible.

You can absolutely have both. In fact the galaxy S5 had both a swappable battery and IP67. Tons of devices do. Glued construction was always about reducing manufacturing costs, not about an IP rating.

I doubt most companies would bother. Apple is probably the only one with the volume to bother.
