The restrictions being placed on Huawei's access to the Android operating system will cast a long shadow over Tuesday's launch of the Chinese company's latest handsets

I had one years ago.
The Blackberry clone.
When the battery died suddenly I turned it.

Be interesting to see how this whole saga ends us.
The US has put this order in place & yet has offered no evidence on their accusations.
Whilst Huawei can build an alternative OS, now another nail in Huawei's coffin has just popped up.

Bluetooth could be Huawei's Killer (https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/05/24/bluetooth-could-be-the-surprise-assassin-of-huaweis-smartphone-business/)

Bit of a shame that the US can wipe out a global busn just on accusations.

Yes, yet all the accusations in the world against Trump (mostly founded apparently) and he's still in the chair...
