   Mhm

   I use it as it is designed for, a PDA.

   It's basically two 'phones' in one that folds into a clamshell. like a   
   mini-laptop with aluminum. It's heavy but it suits my purposes. It's definitely   
   not for everyone.   
      
    AA> Is the battery of the gemini removable?   
      
   No.   
      
   D> I don't use google services on it.   
      
    AA> You are very disciplined!  :)   
      
   No, it just isn't necessary for my uses. I have a few apps that are available   
   on f-droid that don't require google services and, well, Google doesn't even   
   know my android install exists.   
      
    AA> Never heard of that one. It *is* nice and small.  But the price isn't!   
    AA> LOL   
      
   Yeah, I know. It's pricey.   
      
    AA> How would you do texting with it?  C = 3 presses on 2?  F = 3 presses   
    AA> on 3?  No thanks.   
      
   No idea. If so that would be a stunning no from me. But then, my PDA is there   
   for texting.

   Yeah, not for everyone surely.
