Yeah, that's why I've never pulled the trigger. I'm interested in the PPP, but reports say that battery life sucks and the camera doesn't work. I'm honestly okay with the camera not working, but I need it to last most of the day.
I'm a developer, and I'd love to hack on it, but I need the phone to be usable as a daily driver first. For me that means: reliable MMS, good call quality, decent speakers, and all day battery life. I only need a couple Android apps, and even those may be negotiable (could carry a second phone to work if necessary). I can contribute to the rest of the nice to haves.
But the OG PP may be good enough for an emergency phone. Maybe. And it's cheap enough to take a chance on it.
