Starting September 30th, there's going to be a tsunami of Android users looking for an alternative system fleeing this developer verification malware.

In your opinion, are things like post market OS and the rest of the Linux phone ecosystem ready to take on these new users?

Can you get their phone in the US?

Volla is a scam. Bad phones, bad customer services.

Well, I got the Quintus with dual boot and I didn't have any problems so far

Just wait until you have a hardware problem, they will charge you even under warranty.
