I've seen Scott's Jelly Pro, and as he says it's workable for the things
he's using it for.  Understand that I'm saying this without using the phone
at all, but ... don't even consider using this as a primary phone.  Unless
of course your main use case for the phone is to make phone calls - and who
the hell does that on a phone?

While I enjoyed writing that and there's a degree of sarcasm implied, I'm
also very serious: phone calls simply aren't the main use for phones any
more, and this thing is too small for most of the things we use phones
for.  Think of it as being similar to an old flip phone, but without the
dedicated keypad: the screen is that small.  If an old flip phone would
suit you, this will work - but in that case a flip phone might be better?
