Re: I threw some money at this....
I can't comment on the Cosmo as I don't have one, but I do have the Gemini and for me, it is excellent. Despite Android.
The key to making Android work is to strip strip away as much Google as possible. Mine is step up like this : Nova launcher, which means you can get rid of the Google tracking bar, I have DuckDuck and Firefox browsers. I have nothing on my "desk top" except short cuts to my favourite web sites. Fdroid is where I get my applications. Once you do some of this, it works magnificently well in landscape mode. You just need to bin Google.I only have one Gemini and don't have the courage to roll it into Linux, which is what I would really like,
The hardware build quality is excellent, mine looks as good today as it did when I got almost 30 months ago, the keyboard is excellent for slow typing, certainly better than /any/ on screen virtual keyboard.
From my pown point of view, I would 100% disagree with the "rough edge" comment. I am of course talking about the Gemini, not the Cosmo. BUt the Gemini is unsurprassed. If you all you do is look at plankton on Instergram' then buy a bloatware filled standard Spamdroid device. If however you create anything at all that involved typing, the Gemini and therefore I'll assume the Cosmo are SUPERB.
Oh, I don't work Planet Computers. I'm just somebody who still has a Psion 5MX and really wishes there is a way to make it connect to anything vaguely modern. The Gemini / Cosmo is that answer.
